The video interview on stuff this morning (from tv3 i think) was pretty hilarious. interviewer: "Do you have any statistics to back that up, and if so what" Thompson: "yes i do. From talking to some of the employers we work with, and if you go out and ask the HR lady down the hall she...

i don't think he understands how the sea works

I don't think there's much point being bothered by that Kev....did you see the thing about the bridge to australia? She is clearly mental.

Yeah I agree bridge, I'd like to know why 'sitting on the cross-benches served them well' as Tartan says. I would have thought to be an truly effective party you actually have to be in government. not necessarily. the home insulation subsidy is a good recent example where they worked with the govt ...

Ye, but that's the same logic as arguing that you'd rather have the Devil in power supported by Mussolini rather than Hitler. :roll: I'd rather have a party that draws a line the sand and does not sell out their morals. Or at the least a party that will tell me where their sell-out line is. There's...

Why do benefit systems always work on a punitive basis? i.e. "if you don't do this, we'll cut your dole"....surely there must be a more positive way to incentivise people - like a signing bonus or something. Genuine question. Also don't really see the issue with the contraception thing - a...

Christchurch is infinitely better than Wellington in Winter.

Wellington, weatherwise, is a miserable shithole.

Weird...not seeing the similarities between hamilton and wellington at all.

nope i don't. My basic thoughts were that, as far as fiscal responsibility goes, it wasn't too bad. I absolutely do not agree with selling state assets, but i've basically resigned to the fact that there is no strong main-stream opposition to key so might as well save up some money so i can buy some...

So is that the only outrage that's come out of this budget on punkas? someone mistakenly thought they'd lose out on PhD funding?

That's not very punx guys.

so were you hoping to submit a lab report red_switch?

why do so many national voters sound surprised by what they got?

National have done exactly what you'd expect a (bit-off)centre-right party to do.

Thought they were pretty rad...greasier than i was expecting, cause their normal burgers aren't that greasy, but felt fine after.

I totally missed that they make zinger ones....all of a sudden i feel so unsatisfied.

The daily mail? Really?

Maybe Obama made them do it since he's a muslim too.

Interesting....I expected Treasury to have been told to come back with a "yes". Turns out they came back with a "meh" and they just ignored it instead. Maybe this means we can save some money by cutting the entire Treasury Ministry now....clearly Bill's gut has got this shit cove...

i confess, i haven't completely memorised all 26 seasons worth of them, no.

what's the simpsons spanish thing got to do with it?

Why does the US now speak of intervention, when this sort of thing happened right throughout sub saharan Africa (DRC, Rwanda, Angola etc etc)? It's evidence that they're not interested in any human rights or democracy, they're just looking after their oil interests. Now meaning Libya? Cause I would...

They get like $10k or something i think. Just annoyed me because I didn't donate cause 200 people died, i donated because half a city got destroyed. Although actually i think i donated to the council fund so it actually only annoyed me in principle. The families of the pike river miners got about $1...

i'm gonna sound like an actual factual stink cunt for even broaching this...but does anyone else find it slightly annoying how much money the families of the dead get from the red cross? Just me? It just strikes me as not-the-best way to spend it, when there are so many people who need actual stuff....

spicy italian is the only tolerable subway.

Though subway is dead to me since pita pit moved in across the road from my work. It's much better.


I vote mcdonalds. Even though i agree it can make you feel crap afterwards.

Clearly not that happy to discuss it though...considering she didn't.

Don't be ridiculous martli. Do you know what a forecast is? So if forecasts suggest it will rise to 5% then statsnz statistics don't make that wrong. So like here, where i read news articles and they talk about inflation rising to 5 percent.... http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/4672696/AA-says-g...

And actually i'm not wrong cause i'm pretty sure they're saying they expect it to rise to 5.

yeah but i wasn't waaahing about the why. I was just waaahing about the what. Even if i was wrong about it. meh.

If it helps, Fonterra have promised they wont make milk more expensive for the rest of the year.
And claim they've only passed 1.4% of the 26% increase through to consumers.

Thanks Fonterra!! <3



5% inflation in one year is fucking ridiculous.

such a cool story. Terraces are awesome.

I want to go to here:

is that that place we walked into one time and walked straight out again and went somewhere and got drunk instead?
