JoBear Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Today has been such a waste of a day. Kinda annoying as I originally had plans to go for lunch with a friend but she cancelled yesterday as she was feeling sick and thought she'd stay in. About two hours ago she tweeted a photo from a cocktail bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marigold Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I came to the muse forum to find out info about Matt being a dad-to-be (not much info anywhere) and instead I find a NZ thread with pics of John Key on a catwalk anyway, hi from Wellington!

_Ed_ Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 This humidity is beginning to really piss me off. You can escape heat, you can't escape humidity It's awful, isn't it? I don't mind it too much during the day, but the fact that it doesn't drop below 20 at night is unbearable. Still 23 here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBear Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Why is he saying "Oh Madge?" by the looks of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I was wondering what he was saying as well. It does look a bit like that. Thoroughly inexplicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 United Future leader Peter Dunne today called for Waitangi Day to be renamed New Zealand Day, or for another day to be selected as a national day. "We have so many wonderful things about this country that we should be celebrating; we have achieved great things as a nation and continue to do so. We need to be proud of all of that and celebrate what it is to be a Kiwi," Mr Dunne said. Mr Dunne said Waitangi Day had not been about national pride for a long time, and that there had to be more to the national day than protests. "And it has got to the point where one ill-informed individual with a loud-hailer and intimidating thugs demanding 'koha' in a manner that actually breaches their own tikanga, are turning Waitangi Day into a farce," he said. "Waitangi Day is important, but it could be so much more. It has been hijacked by the angry few." Peter Dunne Why do so many people seem to deny the part that the Treaty of Waitangi has played in New Zealand history? They just want to ignore it because it's difficult. The 6th of February wasn't just some random day picked, it was the day the Treaty was signed. Unbelievable. Everyone just wants an Australia Day which just to me seems like a big excuse to get wasted. Like kiwis need any more excuses for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 All very true. It's not surprising behaviour from Dunne, though. He's been like this since he became best friends with the worm in the TV debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 It's crazy that Peter Dunne has kept both the Minister of Revenue and Associate Minister of Health portfolios since 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 And somehow maintained a reputation of being about "common sense" and "values", rather than politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm not sure you have much values if you just go with whatever party will mean you will still retain a portfolio. I would quite like to go into tax policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
