OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to giovanni tiso,
that might involve the odd impolite discussion
Well, we're going to have bugger-all impolite discussions now, aren't we? (I mean obviously, do what you've got to do, and all that. But... meh.)

If I didn't suggest 'A Priori Concept of Felafel' or 'Bourgeois Legume Croquettes', I would feel remiss.
(They're a bit unwieldy and in-jokey, I know.)

It would be a real shame to lose your voice.
His voice is still on Twitter and Bat Bean Beam, of course.

OK, so (I hope) this is my grandfather's Invercargill car dealership. Not sure of the exact year, but turn-of-the-sixties-ish, probably.
Lest you think from this minimalist layout that they failed to market themselves appropriately, I have the company's promotional ashtray (!), upon which is emblazoned: "Frazer & Smith: Sell Your Car To Us". Amazingly, I found it a few years ago in a secondhand shop on K Road. :)

I don’t think Damian’s comment really warranted that response.
I know the conversation has moved on, but... how is Giovanni's remark an unreasonable response? I too am perfectly well-served by either Labour or National in government, because I'm middle-class and well-off. It's not 'picking fights' to note that this isn't really a matter of life or death for a lot of people here, because that's the way we skew demographically. So my "Hating National With The Passion of a Thousand Fiery Suns" thing, which is my political approach, is therefore... almost academic, or hobbyist, in a way? I'm probably just a smug asshole, really.

Hungry, schmungry. They're just spending it all on pokies and smokes anyway. </withering>

Is there any MMP scenario in which the voters of Waitakere get to pelt her leopard-skin ministerial car with rotten fruit as it drives humiliatedly out of town? Because that's what I would really, really like.

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Our illustrious PM spends a lot of time in Huapai, too, I imagine. (Which is why my flipping off his electorate office every week as I drive past on the way to Parakai may not have had the intended result of bringing down his government. Curses!)

Hard News: Some things just don't let…, in reply to Simon Grigg,
Hey, I love Emitt Rhodes. Basically, people ripping off Paul McCartney is what I live for!
