08wire,

I enjoyed your videos, despite not sharing your desire for an LPG government. I also commend your gracious message to the National Party. It’s a shame others aren’t as gracious.

“Unfortunately taste in music isn’t a legitimate ground for rejecting a politician from office.”

I don’t follow. In what sense is it not a legitimate ground?

DeeDub: I heard his favourite NZ band was Brooke Fraser. And his favourite Elvis song is Rock around the Clock ….

Yeah, thanks guys…. but next time use Kiwi music, eh?

Just not anything by Opshop, ’cause that’s Keys’ favourite NZ band. Funny that! They DO sound a lot like Coldplay and we know how much he LOVES them…..

Kudos for all your inspiring work.

I don’t regard you as “gone” but merely “hibernating” for the time in the not too distant future when the left needs its super-video hero again…. cue superman soundtrack music and fade….

Thanks O8 wire for all your efforts to keep our spirits up through the campaign. I really enjoyed the videos, especially the explosions. We might have a few of those in the next 1000 days.
