Fair call

Depends on how much the know about giraffes I guess and didn't think a boom would look like another giraffe.

Because giraffes stake dominance by smacking their necks together

I haven't watched snooker in years (the Steve Davis & Stephen Hendry era). I did see an interesting player while surfing YouTube a year ago. He hits 147s in lightning speed which I've never seen before. It was like watching T20 cricket compared with Test cricket. Going by the era you stopped you pr...

Waving round a boom in front of a giraffe is pretty up there in dumb tbf

Technically there is no such thing as a fish.

It is just an animal of all different species that has been put in a category because they live in the same place

Could be wrong but I think the greens would have got more votes if they were serious about making a difference and didn't say they would only go with Labour. There are plenty of blue green voters. Or though they like to think so, there is no monopoly on caring about the enviroment +1, and there's p...

Not sure about 1999 Doc, I couldn’t vote then!, but Mana were unsuccessful in the recent stunt you are referring to. I’m not saying the left are above it (though it’s hard to see the greens and labour coming to an agreement, or their supporters condoning it if they did - they ride very high horses)...

ARU have already shown they won't do anything to him. He’s really holding his icon status and contract renegotiation over their heads like the sword of Dumbocles It's not just that.

When you think about it she is a bit like the 7 Maori seats Labour won....and are currently trying to entrench, which I can't see Labour doing.

Yet Labour want to entrench them

Enzedder has every right to call the Epsom seat silly. Act is only there as National told Epsom to vote accordingly, effectively giving National one seat beyond their vote (as act owes them big time so will do whatever they say). Entirely legal, but highly dubious. Peter Dunne was more legit, thoug...

No, you still don't get it. Parliament gets EXACTLY the makeup that the public wanted via their votes. There are no sides at that point. Well it doesn't, the 5% threshold prevents that. The public wanted 3 TOP MPs and got none. All 5 parties in parliament got more MPs than their vote share proporti...

So everyone is a winner. Only one got the spoils Which happened to be the one garaunteed side less people voted for. What on earth do you mean?

I think a couple of posters are misunderstanding what we vote for. We don't directly vote on who the Government should be. We vote for members of parliament, who represent us in making decisions, including who the Government should be. National couldn't get the numbers in the parliament to become t...

Think it would the same thing from Labour voters if he had gone with the Nats btw It's why MMP sucks if you are a small country with few viable partys What's your preferred alternative? FPP could (and did) return Governments who lost the popular vote. Single Transferable Vote? I'd keep It as its fa...

This my fellow posters is an insight into why I think the Nat voters get bitchy about Labour are govt.

Personally didn't vote for either of them

So did nationals at a higher number

they lost.

More people voted for the new flag than Labour

The greens together with labour had less than national

Winston want part of the other side. He was a floater

?? I totally understand MMP It's the reason Ardern is the PM If we didn't have MMP one person who got 7% wouldn't be able to decide the country's govt.

So did Ardern lose the election and is like Hillary, or win the election but lose the popular vote, so is like Trump. You can’t have it both ways. Technically, lost the election so like Hillary I admit though it is a close call given the incredible similarity between some of Trump's and Ardern's po...

Tbf the parallels between those two are quite impressive

They both lost an election (But tbf Ardern did get chosen by Winston to be PM, so you could say she won the negotiation afterwards)

They both have dodgy partners

But could you please point out where I have even spoken of them before the cops got everyone's interest up?
Irrelevant. You are now speaking of them having been around for years, thereby attempting to further the non story.

On a rugby forum?

Yeah.

It really does go that deep.

I think the police might have done more harm than good It just means more people want to know about it and they will have made her look weak to a few more people They've done harm to the Nat's Dirty Politics machine that is for sure. This fake news story now has nowhere to go at all. Well done pigs...

Dark

The police comment has just completely shut down any and all reference to rumours on all RW blogs. :lol: Ah yeah, and increased it by about a million percent everywhere else. I doubt it. The rumours are made up by the prime minister's opponents. Everyone now knows this. If that makes you feel better

All this dirty politics stuff is pretty funny

I was hearing these rumours about him before he started going out with her.

It's pretty obvious Ardern has pushed for the police comments

It's pretty unheard of

The problem in England is there is no culture of completing death rituals quickly. Burying people a month after they die seems weird to me, but it seems to be what is a normal English timescale. I don't know about the ROW, but I do know in Ireland it was very common for people to be buried 3 days a...

Bit of a weird one Long story short. Coroner has a first come, first done policy. High court rules this is against the rights of the religious. And try to twist it into being her fault for lack of flexibility. Ignoring other reasons that the non religious might want it quick https://www.bbc.com/news...
