   It’s Nikki Kaye, not Nicky.

   If you can’t her name right there isn’t much hope the chanting will be in tune!

     Did you expect the chanting to be in tune??
     I wonder how it went… I can’t wait to see photos of about 20 7 year olds and about 2 adults.

       If the chanting was in tune, wouldn’t it be called singing? 😉

         It all depends….
         Chanting in the tune of chanting would be chanting.

   What is it with the Standard a whole post disappears?

   [lprent: depends what you’re talking about. To me a post is what an author writes. But I suspect you’re talking about a comment.

   Just at present there is work going on to get the new site ready to go live. There are disruptions that I’m providing regularly.

   That is why the captcha has been off (and about to go back on). So we’re getting some spam appearing from spambots. Moderators are moving those to spam (but at present someone I haven’t identified is moving them to trash – which is daft – feed the anti-spam engine whoever it is!).

   It may be that you’re talking about a comment that has been moved to trash (like one from ‘butterfly’ which was clearly spam). Or ‘free baby products’ that akismet put directly into spam.

   It could also be that a moderator has taken offense at a comment and removed it. But usually unless the comment writer is banned, they will usually delete the offending parts and leave a note.

   You’re going to have to provide more info if you actually want an answer. If it is yourself, then there is no trace of a comment in pending, spam or trash. So I’d guess you screwed up.

   This is a polite way of saying; don’t be an idiot – be precise, and save me from writing these long explanations.

   Beside you should be doing off-topic stuff like this in OpenMike! ]

   Get the minimum wage up. Everybody benefits. Just don’t make it so it drastically affects the businesses – give them some assistance (time, etc) to adjust.

     And the Aussie minimum wage is a couple of bucks more than here. What’s your point?

   We seem to be boged down with this obsession to “catch up” with Australia .
   Can anyone explain just how we would be better off. After all higher wages higher costs. This is all a Tory con ,used to garner votes for the National Party.
   The real concern is the gap between the rich and poor. This is what we should be concerned about. Its diabolical that one person should be paid thousands of dollars for shifting paper around whilst an essential manual worker is on this digusting mininum wage ,
