The effects of smoking on a body is not immediate. Some smokers live to a ripe old age and are seemingly unaffected by their habit. Others die early from lung or heart related disease. For me it was a drawn out process. I began with cigarettes at 13-14 yo ...
The triumvirate of trouble. Sounds better than the coalition of chaos.
👏🏽. Thinker
I suppose it could be said the oppo is right about roading, but they are wrong about the reasons and very wrong about the solution. Anyway, in their plan it's not 500 mill in new money, they will be robbing Peter to pay Paul. Your responses - 1. Details: ...
Dear Topher, Can I call you that? Do you mind? Well, it its the arse end of your name which of course fits well with your policies, what few of them you seen fit to release. Are you waiting till the arse end of the campaign to flood us with more ill ...
I’m ready for my close-up now Nicola. or Ken couldn’t make it, guys. This is better. Whadda ya think Nic?
I love the photo - National . . . Out of step, as usual!
Excellent article. Weka 1 Ad 0
On the road toll - The one thing which all commenters have completely ignored - the largest elephant in the room, and the one factor which surpasses all others in terms of preventing crashes injuries and deaths, is driver competence. Well trained and ...
Your opinion piece could have been a chapter directly out of Revelations with all its dream like imagery and apocalyptic predictions, with a side salad of punitive retribution.
Well I would say that comment says more about you and your cohort than it does about Chloe.
Uh -uh! Not president. - Chairman. That's a whole different brief, requiring a set of skills Brown does not have.
Well, here’s something else to moan about! As if there weren’t enough real problems to concern ourselves with. And we blame Luxon and Seymour for seeing the negative in everything our government does? Could we not have a rant about the terrible abuse ...
These highly skilled workers can come back - tomorrow if they really want to. All they have to do is get the jab! This is not the fault of mandates. It is entirely on the workers themselves. Unless of course they have exemptions, and I bow to that ...
I can see the Greens being back to 6% - 7% by next election. The faction seems to have been quite a self-destructive element for the party. However, I do feel that the bulk of those lost votes will go Labour's way. I can't really see them going anywhere ...
“John liked to be on billboards with his candidates. How’s this? Am I like John? Do you like me? Is this OK? We’re going to win, aren’t we? Could be a hairline thing!”
The NP back room boys will run the required template over a selection of blue suited business types. Then the cardboard cutouts will be lined up to check their blueness - not too conservative, not too liberal, not too religious with just the right amount ...
Having my weekly coffee with a doctor friend we talked about Covid and testing among other things. We all have heard through the media that RAT tests are 80%+ reliable. He told me that in the hands of a medically trained administrator that is the case, ...
Actually spelled “mush”
My god Mr Advantage - I’m not sure whether to have a bloody good laugh, nod sagely or cower under my bed for the next month. You seem to have found a rabbit hole of quite a different calibre. Neither nodding nor cowering is my thing but slow head shaking ...
Lprent - no space on your phone for AlJazeera? I like it for a world perspective. Also, I have to agree with you about The Spinoff. It really seems to be a rather motley collection of blogs and, yes, lots of cultural and artsy fartsy stuff. I also note you...
The natzi party pretending to be at the Pacific Forum.
Well Mickey I did make the mistake of clicking on your link to the BFD. Eewwww . . .! Bilge water. The little I read of it seemed largely to be dangerous, bigoted, sanctimonious, right wing arseholery. A worthy successor to the beef hooked bad man. It ...
FO is the only response to a fat cat who wants to play truth dare or promise with the NZ public. If businesses want to follow them over the Tassie like lap dogs, let them.
Yeah, and we all know what the missing link looks like - high sloping forehead, wide nostrils, very hairy, hands for feet and knuckles on the ground. Make you think of anyone?
Yes incognito, relevance! That’s what it’s all about. Desperately striving to have some value in a world that has moved on leaving his feet firmly stuck in the 1950s. I also love Sanctuary’s comment at 5 - desperate and pathetic. Watching the Newshub ...
You don't have to make things easy for a government if you are in opposition. That is never the way of things. However, there is a moral obligation to not abandon all morality and to stay within some sort of boundaries of decorum. I'm not the only one to ...
Gosman, you have a weird and quite anarchic view of what is right and what is legal. If I left my house open and it was burgled I wouldn't get the insurance, but the perpetrator would definitely have committed a crime. The 'you left it unguarded and it's ...
Love it Maui!
Bloody hell Sam! How I wish you and others would quit using the word 'woke' in any other way than as the past participle of the verb 'to wake'. What you are trying to show is that 1) you are hip 2) you are up with the terminology 3) you understand neocon ...
The word is 'flouting'
