JoBear Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Haha unfortunate. I love how miserable that child was the whole time. This is why you don't have small children in bridal parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah, poor thing. Of course, one of the main stories here is that John Key saw Elton John and was too nervous to say hello. "Aww, bless him. He's just like us." Except he fucking isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I couldn't believe the story where he was on about one of the royal corgis licking his hand. This is news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBear Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I hope Don Brash can run Act into the ground like he pretty much did to National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 That would be ideal. The thought of Brash, Banks and Douglas having some influence on government is unbelievably ghastly. Bit of a waste of time Hone Harawira announcing a by-election in his electorate today so he can stand for his new party. The general election's not that far away!

_Ed_ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sam Scott tweeted that only Michael Laws had to join Act and they would have all the wankers in one place. I must admit I did kinda feel sorry for Rodney Hide, Don Brash seemed to just come out of nowhere! Yeah, exactly. I hated how he announced his bid for the leadership before he'd even joined the fucking party. What a knob. And then, in 24 hours, the MPs went from "supporting Rodney Hide 100%" to voting for Brash! And then the news did like an obituary for his political career, and it was really just all his embarrassing stuff - dropping his dance partner, tripping over and crashing into the wall while stepping up to make his first speech after being picked as party leader, etc. Poor Rodney.

_Ed_ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Having trouble finding an online clip of it at the moment sadly. I'll keep trying. This is supposedly that news story, but I can't get it to work: http://tvnz.co.nz/content/4146724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I don't particularly care for Rodney Hide, but if Don Brash tries to bring back interest on student loans, I'mma protest in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I don't particularly care for Rodney Hide, but if Don Brash tries to bring back interest on student loans, I'mma protest in the streets.

JoBear Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'll just never get a job. Tax THAT, Inland Revenue! If you go overseas, it doesn't matter if you don't have income, they'll make you pay it back. Guarantee that National take away the repayment holiday this year. Student loan repayment ain't a tax either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 More hypocrisy in this week's Make The Politician Work. Rodney Hide recognising the importance of special needs schools and teachers. But are his party in favour of giving them funding? I also laughed at the obvious last-minute changes - the slightly different-sounding voiceover saying "former ACT party leader".

JoBear Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 His wiki says something about doing political commentary. I just worked out that on my income in NZ I would have student loan deductions of $4500...I think I paid $1200 on it last year. The exchange rate is a bitch at the moment. I want to keep the money in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I would have thought an important part of being a political commentator is having an audience... I hadn't considered the exchange rate issue. That sucks immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That's why I thought you might have heard something about him if he was writing in a paper or on TV. Maybe he's off writing a sequel to "I've been thinking"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
