    Agreed that rugby does have too much whistle, but doesn’t live in a straight-jacket quite the way netball does.

    Seriously, think of the rules of netball. Clipboard mania gone mad.

    The female / male thing is a red herring.

    Face it, netball is just a dreadful sport to watch. Players imprisoned in certain sections of the court, Subbuteo like restrictions on how far they can move with the ball, and way too much whistle.

    and upon hearing we were to live in Lower Hutt, we were asked who would be living in the Upper Hut and were they far away.

    People still ask that question.

    Quayle authored a memoir, Standing Firm, which became a bestseller

    Bet he didn’t, bet he used a ghostwriter. He may have subsequently read it, but there are no guarantees there either.

    Favourite, possibly apocryphal but who cares, story about Quayle came from mid-campaign. The feeling was that they thought he had a bad image as being not quite a Man of the People.

    So they organised a morning walk-about thing in Manhattan.

    He enters the diner or whatever they call them and looks around for potential voters. Finally, he walks up to a women, outstretches his arm and says “Hi, I’m Dan Quayle.”

    Long awkward pause.

    Woman replies : “I’m your bodyguard.”

    Serious Question:

    What’s Dan Quayle up to these days?

    United Future should be something like... who's a kind of crossover, mildly Christian, shittily average band?

    That band that used to play on The Herd ?


    (OK, showing my age)

    And that would surely make Jim Anderton Prince -- a huge burst of relevance in the '80s but playing to the faithful ever since.

    The Politician Formerly Known As Promising ?

    It’s hard to go past John Rowles for NZ First..

    For United Future I’m trying to think of something offensively Middle of the Road. Air Supply?

  • Up Front: Just Answer the Question,

    Are you lot aware of ginga.co.nz?

    Now I just know that won't be work-safe.

    you'll be getting a visit when the anti-ginga revolution finally comes.

    At last, a revolution I can identify with. It’s tough on here though Che

    Because they can’t really go outside much, I guess that gingas are always going to be over-represented on forums and online message-boards etc..

    Especially now that summer’s almost here.
