Just in case anyone is a little out of touch with the procedure followed to choose a new Pope this should clear things up. 🙂

😆

The drought heat and wet in Aussie.

The drought heat and wet in the states.

The wet and heat in England.

The flooding in Thailand

The drought here.

There is no extreme weather or climate change on planet denial.

Kea you have already admitted that as far as you are concerned there is no need for evidence you just believe 30,000 scientist doing 13.950 papers are all corrupt.

And

The Governments of the world.

All major scientific organizations.

The UN.

The Pentagon.

The world bank

😉

Argument fail!

The UN would be the most corrupt organisation that has ever operated on this planet.

Shearer has said a bit more about buy back of asset shares in an interview at ‘The Farming Show’:

Would you do a Winston and buy them back, compulsorily buy them back if you took office?

I can’t see we would be in a position to be able to do that, I mean, so I can’t put my hand on my heart and say to people that we would buy them back, ah, that wouldn’t be right.

Ah, look, the bottom line is when you sell these assets and the proceeds come in, and you spend them as the Government says it’s going to spend them on schools and hospitals, I don’t see how we can afford to buy them back when we came into office.

I’m not going to rule it out, but certainly I think it’s very unlikely.

That is less vague than before but far from certain.

If National don’t sell shares now they have to borrow more. If they sell shares and Labour buy them back they have to borrow a similar amount that they expect National to borrow now. So it must be a choice to do something diffferent after the election.

Or Shearer is either hedging, fooling or foolish.

Shearer less uncertain on buy back of assets

I treated the wife to dinner out last night and I even arranged for a guy to serenade us on the guitar as we ate.

Halfway through, I looked into her eyes and said, “Tell me this isn’t the best evening you’ve ever had.”

She said, “I’m freezing. Pay the damn busker and let’s eat these burgers inside.”

Extreme weather and climate change do not prove AGW. You could equally attribute it to Unicorns. But there is no need, as extreme weather and climate change are normal.

Did I seriously see with my own eyes a member of the “there is such a thing as legitimate tax avoidance” party try and lecture kiwibloggers about tax avoidance?

dime – I like your taste in rock buddy (and girls for that matter)

I saw FNM on their first UK tour with Mike Patton in ’89 (Riverside, Newcastle, capacity 500 😀 ) along with a mate whinging how Chuck Mosely was much better.

Soundgarden are just another level live, I bought Nirvana’s first album on the strength of Chris Cornell wearing one of their T-shirts…nearly as good as New Model Army

You’re not far wrong Kea although abortion can usually get the rosary beads turbo charged. Also downplay the fact that homo sex isn’t actually going to be mandatory in the future.

It gets some of our resident anal retentives really juiced up. 🙂

With Coal prices down and rising energy prices, now is the perfect time to put a giant coal fired electricity plant down the West Coast. It will provide many jobs and use a lot of existing infrastructure. Coal is the future, especially in the wake of the problems with fukushima.

All over the world plans to build Nuclear power plants are being scrapped in favour of good old natural safe organic coal. Even the greeny Germans are planning to burn billions of tons of wonderful safe coal. They have found silly windmills don’t work. Having seen how these ugly monstrosities blight the German landscape, I say they can not get those coal fires burning fast enough.

nasska, are you seriously telling me that ALL THOSE PEOPLE [a consensus] are mistaken and that the government will not be forcing them to leave their wifes, abort their baby (or adobt it to a gay couple) and marry a bloke ?

You must be one of those denier conspirawacies I have heard about. You nutter you.

The way the God Nutters on one of the recent threads were telling it I reckon that the state will be enforcing gay Christian shotgun marriages by the thousands before year’s end Kea.

I expect many of them to bail in the next few months but in the meantime KY Jelly futures look good! 🙂

Kia ora Penny

All I will say is that you are right, the vote was won by us, in fact the election was won by us. Whether I or any of my colleagues purchases shares is neither here nor there.

Hop you have a nice day.

Hi Tau!

Perhaps you missed this?

” UF (United Future) did not specifically campaign for the ‘mixed ownership model for the electricity companies and Air New Zealand’ because it was not UF (United Future)policy”

[ Pete George (United Future Dunedin North candidate 2011) (16,292) Says: February 15th, 2013 at 10:28 pm]

So – upon what do you purport to have a ‘mandate’?

If MPs buy shares in Mighty River Power – how is that not a form of ‘corrupt practice’?

‘Misuse of public office for private gain’?

Voting for something from which you may personally profit?

Not a good look for New Zealand ‘perceived’ to be the ‘least corrupt country in the world’
(along with Finland and Denmark) according to the 2012 Transparency International ‘Corruption Perception Index’?

http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results#myAnchor1

How many other countries allow MP’s to purchase shares in companies whilst they’re in public office?

Oh – that’s right.

NZ MPs don’t even have an enforceable ‘Code of Conduct’.

Kind regards,

Penny Bright

I predict the end of all morality as the government sends in the troops to force us to be gay and hate jesus. Luckily I am no longer married, so I wont be forced to leave my wife and marry a poofter 🙂

It’s going to be bad Kea….being single may not save you as they implement the next part of the master plan. I refer of course to polygamy & you may yet be forced to live out your life as one partner of a compulsory gay menage a trois.

Who can we turn to?…who will deliver us from such a fate?….come in kowtow, reddy, Andrei. 🙂

He would have been under age & wouldn’t qualify for points against the end of the year trophy Griff.

Oh…poor old Zac.

Toby Robson writes a puff piece (no doubt on orders of the NZRU) about how we should all feel sorry for this drunken thug.

Gulidford should be serving time for assulting at least two people, but no, he is a Rugby player so he gets away with it by pretending to be really, really sorry.
