If Labour/Greens had tried to pull a stunt like this it would have been all dancing cossacks and reds under your beds again. This looks pretty bad.

Crikey, you’re in deep! Have you tried Hang Five? Invented by a Kiwi. Same for me with Connections - it often trips me up with obscure US popular culture refs

Crikey, I can taste the bile in Cohen's piece from here. Ardern wasn't the only one to apparently mesmerise journalists though. I distinctly remember journos applauding the lugubrious Peter Whittall at the end of a press conference in the aftermath of Pike river. Great judgment that turned out to be

Well we don't want to go down the Epsom nudge nudge deal making track do we? I think the only Nat constituency MP in the area is Bishop, and hopefully Ginny Anderson is still there to carve him up next year.

She's high on the list, if Craig R wins they will almost certainly both be in parliament.

The Roxy in Manners Street was way grottier than the Lido, but in a heroic way (it also had jaffa-friendly wooden floors)

Great work! We visited the Weald and Downlands Living Museum last month and got a look at the famous Repair Shop barn. They don’t let you get that close but it was great to see it with autumn colours and all. And we got a glimpse of Dom!

I do like Phil Spencer, but this kind of obsequious flattery for rich folks and their fancy houses is a bit off putting. Maybe it would play better to overseas audiences? In the 70s we all got excited when Whicker did a show on NZ. It was cringeworthy.

Our book group read this a while back. A fantastic read with great new insights into other cultures, science and history

Collins has elevated mendacious, petty spitefulness into an art form. Brava, JC! Pantomime season is soon upon us - auditions for villainess parts are now open.
