Dime would pass out or puke before phill
There would be a high risk of serious consequence people die of alcohol poisoning surprisingly easily
It does not have the self limiting factor that pot does
Also phill is I believe a constant user of pot so his tolerance would be way higher than mine
twenty drinks = 3 bottles of wine thats a lot in a short space of time

WTf is a chillum?
At the moment, I’m a chillin’, but it sounds as though someone is crossin’ an eskimo with a Stephen King book.

I banged on and on before the last election that ‘Goff has always polled lower than Rudd’. Labour didn’t listen.

After all this time as leader, if Shearer ever comes out and actually says something, it is going to look underwhelming at best.

Even a ‘show me the money’ comment in reply to the budget is going to look cynical as everyone knows it means ‘other peoples money’ coming from the socialist Shearer.

If Gillard goes – so too will Shearer.His support base will be doing the same as Julia’s, ‘wait till we see if there is a jump in the polls’ – there won’t be.It’s too late.

Don: Yes, at the risk of sounding boastful…(but then, who could ever accuse me of that?) in the dim distant past, “rising to the challenge” three times from sundown to sun up was not unknown… but now? as you say, as long as one makes it to the toilet without dribbling on each occasion…

To those wondering about the Muldoon era minister possibly drunk in Molesworth st.
Keith Allan died in his early 50s and was found allegedly drunk in public.
My knowledge tells me it could have been diabetes related as they present similar and drinking any alcohol s not helpful. his early death suggests he was not a well man .
There were no charges but police were involved as he claimed a possible assault.
Early 80s vastly different as regards alcohol consumption and Bellamy’s???
Muldoons calling the snap election that brought Lange to power a classic, “drunk in charge of a country”.

Mallard, Shearer, Little.

Ancient Wisdom says that when you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.
However, in some organisations often many other strategies are tried, including the following:
1) Changing riders
2) Buying a stronger whip
3) Falling back on: “This is the way we’ve always ridden”
4) Appointing a committee to study the horse
5) Arranging a visit to other sites to see how they ride dead horses
6) Increasing the standards for riding dead horses
7) Appointing a group to revive the dead horse
8) Create a training session to improve riding skills
9) Comparing the state of dead horses in today’s environment
10) Changing the requirements so that the horse no longer meets the criterion of the dead
11) Hiring an external consultant to show how a dead horse can be ridden
12) Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed
13) Increasing funding to improve the horse’s performance
14) Declaring that no horse is too dead to beat
15) Doing a study to see if outsourcing will reduce the cost of riding a dead horse
16) Buying a computer program to enhance dead horse performance
17) Declaring a dead horse less costly than a live one
18) Forming a workgroup to find uses for dead horses
19) Changing performance requirements for the horse
20) Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory

gravedodger: Yes, your memory (or Google) is quite right, it was he…but it gives me a shiver that he was in his early 50s’ at the time ???? As I am now…I recall that footage of a thickset grey headed guy (mind you it was black and white, so hard to tell) staggering up Molesworth Street with his shirt hanging out…

But it was indeed a totally different era…my friend (Well, I hope he still is) Roger Douglas used to tell me how different things were two years ago from when he was first elected in 1969…the two things I remember most are that journos and MP’s used to drink together, and what was said in the bar stayed in the bar…and that Roger “never saw Les Munro sober after lunchtime” !!

Dime: Actually someone put up a link a week or three ago which showed how he looked…a rather sad little grey haired bespecalled guy with even sadder looking “vegan” dogs sitting around him, on the porch of some non-descript house…

BB: I believe he is pissed in the daytime quite a lot…mind you at 67 I understand (shortly God willing I am going to find out for myself) that one can appear “impaired” while not actually being any more impaired than usual…

“Was Winston pissed?”

Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
Does a duck have lips?

Maybe Winston was just thirsty….

I see Phil still reigns supreme on Kblog GD.

And there’s Harriet, with all of those good traditional values joining in with the heckling.

Thought nasska’s remote control guy jokes were good, especially because they didn’t refer in any way to Phil.

Relative strength of cannabis seized in the UK
bad science by Ben Goldacre an impeachable source of medical knowledge in particular rebuttal of alt science bullshit
A great resource for skeptics

http://www.badscience.net/2007/03/reefer-badness/
The Forensic Science Service data then takes over to produce the more modern figures, showing not much change in resin, and domestically produced indoor herbal cannabis doubling in potency to around 12% or 14%
This is in context a rebuttal of the claim that there had been a 25fold increase in potency

philu

could the business commentator/expert on ones’ breakfast show be more rightwing/of an apologist for this govt..?

..she is so blatant in her pandering to the 1%/media-controllers…

..’yoo-hoo..!..acceptable-gatekeeper..over here..!..saying what you want to hear..!’..

..and of course the two breakfast hosts don’t know enough to challenge her apologist-stances..

..with the male host reduced to his usual gape-mouthed dull-stare of incomprehension….

..w.t.f. were they thinking..?..hiring him..?..he has no local/historical/political knowledge/nuances to hand..

..why didn’t we buy-local..?

..that guy gordon harcourt is far more intelligent…and would have done a much better job of it…

..this guy is a slow-motion trainwreck..

A good thing. Something definitely squiffy in here:

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg sued by shareholders over IPO

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been sued by the social media network’s shareholders over its disastrous IPO.

The lawsuit accuses Mr Zuckerberg, Facebook and several banks led by Morgan Stanley of hiding the company’s weakened growth forecasts ahead of its $16bn initial public offering.

The defendants are claimed to have concealed from investors during the IPO marketing process “a severe and pronounced reduction” in Facebook revenue growth forecasts.

The news comes as Morgan Stanley, the bank in charge of the IPO, is being investigated over possible securites fraud.

The US bank has been accused of failing to warn smaller investors of a more negative assessment of Facebook’s future profits.

It is claimed that several major investors had been pre-warned that a Morgan Stanley analyst had cut the amount of money he expected Facebook to make.

Doesn’t matter whether is thieving socialists with their hand in my pocket on payday, or despicable robber barons defrauding my investments. They should all hang high.
