"$100 shareholding", more at "$100 company". An old phrase or terminology but still widely used and used most legitimately as a description for a company which might only be worth the cost of the original company registration set up cost, and then even ...
You have a way with words, Red Blooded One. You have pretty much expressed what I was thinking when I was tapping away earlier on, but where my words came out a little too politely.
Yes indeed greywarshark. I wouldn't have thought Prince Andrew to have had the commitment that others in line before him seem likely to have in any case. It would have been apparent to many that much had changed in relation to flexibility within British ...
Oh well, back to the drawing board then I guess. I'm sure that we could dig something up that they would grasp and perhaps retain for more than five minutes.
Agreed and agreed, Total transparency may be considered by many (or perhaps most) to be a desirable thing, but in reality, it's considered to be more of an ideal than much else. They all need their various slush troughs to trot over to from time to time so...
tl;dr "Btw I am highlighting Bill's knowledge; the reality of a number of commonly accepted views that Russia red the elections in the US". Ah So, Ah So, you appear to have supported Bill's notion, Gosman.
BTW: Pretty groovy (re-touched from the BBC?) Prince Andy up close pic. I can see right into his (mouth) crack. So much of his time and resource spent on golf and recreation it would seem, and so little time spent of preparing for media interviews which he...
Yes. I stand corrected. I did mean to post; "re-invent our own". And I may have been a little disrespectful, or may have departed from accepted protocol. So I amend and append to that post; "Sir Johnkey", riding upright in the rusty suit of loot l'amour, ...
Extrapolation and parody graphing, but where would we all be without it? However, we do need to move away from basing the nation's economic health on the current retail price of a Big Mac burger, and realistically base it entirely on the retail price of a ...
A little slow with my Israel Folau comment, but here's my penny's worth: A satisfactory result for him, all considered it would seem. He walks away smiling and they, Rugby Australia (RA), get rid of a social media zealot. But in a way, Folau has won on two...
Agreed, right wing lies. Left wing lines, centre pantomime and the left or right of centre believing their expression to be both sublime and meaningful. What ever happened to just good, old radical expression and insult?
This was well and truly something that the Earl of Auckland ("President Key", "Jonkey") appeared to be very comfortable with as well. This proposal has a lot of merit in my view, but really only for the following reasons: 1. New Zealand pretty much makes ...
It does seem to be a form of political medicine quickly proposed through Mr Little to help alleviate the negative symptoms being experienced by many of us in relation to the feeling that democratic process, as a carpet mat, is being jerked at as we attempt...
Assertive and occasionally sexually aggressive woman are nothing new. It is generally recognised that when push comes to shove, in relation to sexual harassment allegations over recent times (more especially in relation to the workplace) most complaints do...
Not too sure about that, Stigie. But my thoughts on it are that if that organisation was engaged in lobbying and even activism of any variety identified as being consistent with their stated and reputed objectives, even as an interest group collective or ...
Who could ever sincerely suggest that religious doctrine or dogma represented true democracy? If I masturbate, is this sexual intercourse? A British (more at English policy) prison "reform" by way of early release driving licence to go out and violently ...
They could go the whole hog, I guess. That is, taxpayer funded and state management of campaign and even party funds, but with a twist. Separate individuals or groups could also be allowed to augment party funds by paying into the aforementioned state ...
Lazy thinking and out of balance for materially gainful purpose. I've been guilty of that occasionally myself, greywarshark. Most societies are preconditioned to reassertion and re-enforcement of belief and even perceived ideas, fueled with the concept of...
Remember though greywarshark, that a lot of these Indian men end up as New Zealand Corrections ("prison") Officers and managers, employed or formerly employed by both the Dept of Corrections and SERCO. Chatting with some of them in a "business end" ...
Fess up if it was one of you, or at least enlighten me with your knowledge. C'mon you guys (and gals), Tell me. Who REALLY shot JFK?
It's because if the voters really woke up to how much of their lifestyle choice (referred to by them as necessity) would actually be taken away from them by politicians (as leaders) taking very affirmative action on such matters, they would probably learn ...
Oh Dear. LOL.
Another series of comments today regarding the; "litany of lies" remark used in part summary by the late Justice Peter Mahon is in today's NZ Herald and elsewhere. Today, the comments are presented by Judge Gary Harrison, who was heavily involved with the ...
1. Always DO sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth SHUT. (I borrowed this from Ernest Hemingway). I am aware of a number of lawyers around who like this particular piece of "poetry", and who occasionally use it when in...
I am posting in relation to the Julian Assange matter, which drew a lot of attention here on TS yesterday, but this is not entirely Julian Assange specific, so I post it today on Open Mike. The treatment of both remand and convicted prisoners by prison ...
Thank you Mosa, for the tribute and starting this thread. The Erebus disaster may not get too much more attention perhaps for another decade. That is, aside from the current debacle over the memorial, which appears to be causing more grief and anguish for ...
Thanks dukeofurl. Yes. I note that what you have conveyed to me seems to have also been suggested by many others, this forum and elsewhere. Many political animals of the Simon Bridges variety do tend give the appearance that they are tossing around some ...
With every suggestion of a "magic pill cure all" made by politicians (more especially a year or less before another general election) comes the realisation by most reasoned people that such a pill does not exist. Some remedy in relation to certain ...
The age old argument and fight between industrialists and the labour force/labour movement, which we might refer to colloquially as; "the workers's struggle''. Every human being is born a trader, and remains so until his/her/otherwise's last breath. What ...
Mr Bridges appears to be taking the meaning of adversarialism for the sake of an argument to dizzying new heights.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
