John Key’s family offered him the inherited social capital of the privileged wealthy of Europe (and his mother’s father was a leather merchant, speaking of bootstraps).
So that's why he is all "Kid Gloves"
with Rodney Hide then... -

ETA Hence the hammer not Hamner.
not Hamner either
- but Hanmer!Here's a handy Canterbury geography
Press proofreaders rhyme -
No Ham in Hanmer
No Sun in Sumner...
and no Cram in Cranmer! -
You’ll then have to contract in external worms who will have no public service ethic.
I miss the old Ministry of Worms...

I'm getting a lot of fruitflies in our worm farm. This is a pain, as it's only about ten feet from our kitchen door, so we always have fruit flies in the kitchen. Any suggestions for keeping the fruit flies down without affecting the worms?
I understand fruitflies only live 24 hours,
maybe you could try putting the clock in
the kitchen forward a few hours to fool them
into clocking out early...

TV3's 90 minute news special on Sunday, was an exercise in redundancy, why repeat the same clips up to 3 times? If they had nothing else to add, why extend the show and then try and pad it out?
- it made them look shallow and exploitative.
Fail! -
How many pedestrians have been injured/killed by bikes?
Bikes don't kill people,
people kill people...
just like cars don't kill people,
people in cars kill people... -

The people that really drive me to distraction
are the drivers with headphones on.indeed, there is not much to chauffer
taking that diversion......the ones who also irk me are people like the woman
I saw the other day, texting in rush hour, while driving
with a toddler in the back seat - must've been incredibly important.
and she is one of many still doing that and talking on cellphones...That’s a political problem
I think there was something in the last big cycling thread about Joyce effectively dismissing a driver education programme as a waste of funds.
Also allowing much higher powered cars on the road, than "back in the day", and flooding the market with cheap imports, with little thought for "unexpected consequences" was a political decision.
