Wrinkle-free cheeks, huh! Show-off.
I've chosen to go the "man way" there, Phil - no scraping my face bare to style myself as a woman :-) Thanks for your support with "Whoar". On the subject of beards...you'd look fine in one (overlaying an imaginary beard over my recall of your face from ...
Those who showed an interest in Dave Kennedy's "food in Southland" post might enjoy this article in today's StuffNZ page on forest-gardening. http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/65072261/the-rise-of-food-forests-in-the-south
It'd be a pleasure. I've some red currants to pick and nectarine seedlings to plant out - once I've done that, I'll get tapping. Robert
I'll write one! If invited :-) Robert
Deceitful. That's the word that should be used to describe John Key. Deceives - what he does. Deceived - what New Zealanders have been and are being.
Hi Phil Good to hear that you and your dogs are in rude health - vegans rule, at least they seem to in Invercargill where the movement has some very active and entertaining members who appear at all sorts of events, peddling their animal-products-free ...
... Dave's rise and rise. http://robertguyton.blogspot.co.nz/2014/05...
Rats will eat anything, anywhere.
The propensity for humans to not be able to see the wood for the trees is a boon to those who seek to befuddle. Finding the core of the issue and repeatedly presenting that frees you from the distraction of arguing each 'tree'. Where is this happening? Are...
grey warbler and (perhaps) Tracey. You hate stories that don't supply solutions? Hmmmm... How to protect people from the effects of a programme to destabilise their view that lying is wrong? Firstly, call it each time, as is happening here at The Standard....
Tracey - I admire what you have done and accept that you "don't know what the bigger answer is". I certainly don't advocate "employing similar techniques" to defeat the behaviour, though "similar" allows for ethical and strategic approaches and is not the ...
Tracey, your answer, with respect, is confined to a single person, that's you, and while that is admirable and right, doesn't much affect the process of erosion that's being employed here. What can you do that's bigger than voting ethically? The erosion of...
Like water wearing away at rock, Key has gradually eroded the standard that says 'lying is unacceptable". Little by little, he's softened the publics acceptance of lies to the point where he can deliver one and have it accepted as 'the way things are now'....

'So not enough people in the Clutha Southland electorate care enough about the issue to vote for an alternative candidate then. Case closed.' Not enough people care about the issue? Nonsense statement from Gosman. The election has not taken place yet, so ...
It's always been said that a fence-post would win Clutha/Southland for National (been proved true too). Your comment/wager has no bearing on the quality of the tobacco lobbyist/candidate or his ethical standards, which are being described around here as ...
I've lived in Southland for 28 years. The Southlanders I've spoken with on this issue are disgusted that the National Party have served up this tobacco lobbyist. None will vote for him. edit: Different views when he was younger! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! He ...
We know he supported the actions of Philip Morris - unless of course, he was dishonest with them and they paid him under false pretences. If he didn't support their kaupapa, he's a hypocrite - not the sort of person you'd want representing you in ...
Barclay lobbied on behalf of Big Tobacco, against the Government's "attempts" to restrict the harmful effects of smoking on New Zealanders. Now, he plans to join the Government on the other side of the argument. Comfortable about that, are you? It doesn't ...
"Lobbying for a Tobacco company doesn’t necessarily mean you are attempting to encourage smoking." Being a member of The Mighty Mongrel Mob doesn't mean you support the activities of your fellow mobsters either, does it, Gosman.
Speaking of the young tobacco lobbyist, have you seen this yet? http://porcupinefarm.blogspot.co.nz/2014/05/suck-on-this-suckers.html
"Queenstown’s next MP looks like being the youngest in Parliament – but he has a lot to learn about the Wakatipu. Ex-big tobacco PR man Todd Barclay will be just 24 when he almost certainly wins National’s safe Clutha-Southland seat – which includes the ...
Southland Times editorial on new Nat Clutha/Southland candidate Todd Barclay (tobacco industry lobbyist) OPINION: The staff of legal high shops up and down the country might suddenly find themselves contemplating a change of career. Can we suggest they ...
Srylands is not a casual visitor to this blog. His interest is not that of an ordinary person.
Race? Be still!
Because, Winston Smith, the referendum and the attention it will draw to the theft that is the 'Key asset sale' will ensure the ousting of National - now that's what I call a good investment.
BM - try reading something other than Kiwiblog.
Last week it was just a small pimple on my eyebrow.
Key keeps Hekia Can only be because he sees himself in her. http://robertguyton.blogspot.co.nz/2013/01/key-keeps-hekia.html
