JoBear Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is Labour going to come up with any credible policies this year or will they do the whole "attack the opposition" which obviously worked so well last election? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Fox Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Not so much Wellington itself- I'd just hate to be away from family and friends for a whole year. I'd get really lonely and probably become even more addicted to the internet than I already am, aha. Yeah, I'd hate the idea of missing out on all the developments with my friends and stuff. I understand that. I'm reasonably close to home here, others are closer, but some are much further away. I've only been home during the actual semester break, but it's good to have the option if I need to, without paying up to $100 for a flight home. It's one of the main reasons I didn't end up going to Otago. Is Labour going to come up with any credible policies this year or will they do the whole "attack the opposition" which obviously worked so well last election? It really looks like they aren't even trying. What makes things worse is when National try and sugar coat everything, by saying things like "People will have the opportunity to decide whether a responsible approach to balancing the books and building growth is one they want to support".

_Ed_ Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Is Labour going to come up with any credible policies this year or will they do the whole "attack the opposition" which obviously worked so well last election? Yeah. There was plenty to criticise in Key's speech yesterday - for instance, why is he going to put up the minimum employer and personal contributions to KiwiSaver just two years after he so proudly halved them in 2009?

Super Sammy! Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It's nearly certain I'm going over to Exeter next year now... It's quite scary to think that this time 8 months I'll be in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Impressively bad puns in the news story about jandal being removed from the official Scrabble dictionary. "Scrabble can't handle the jandal." Aw come on, that's pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Aw come on, that's pretty good Haha, well, we may have to agree to disagree on that one. Although maybe my main complaint is that they used it THREE TIMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 So it's my big party tomorrow. A bit nervous! The problem with being the host is your priority is making sure all the guests have a good time, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to properly relax and celebrate.

Or throw a party as if you were in The Sims, tell everyone else to bring the food while you're asleep in bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of it, possibly you two are over there, I'm going over, Richard's going over, Kitty has plans to go over... Aww, I wanna join too. So it's my big party tomorrow. A bit nervous!

Michelle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm sure your turn out will be better than my party last year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Haha. That was a fun night, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah it was. Not sure if I'll do it again this year. My two closest friends who just started getting to know each other last year ended up having a fight on new years eve, so there is no friendship there now. So organising a party would be too awkward.

Michelle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah. I'll be busy with writing my thesis anyway. I'll have to have a thesis handing in party though which should only be a month after my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sounds good. Handing in your thesis is definitely something that you need to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Indeed. Finishing my data analysis may also require something special. It'll be quite a historical moment when I've finished watching my video footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah? How much of that do you have now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I haven't calculated how much I've done versus how much is left lately. The ideal plan is to be finished around the end of the month so I then have three months for writing. I don't see that happening but I'm going to try.
