I thought they had to communicate their political business thru proper official channels, i.e. government e-mail accounts? or are they not a member of parliament?

He's not a current MP, he will be looking to replace the incumbent who is stepping down.

Patched gang members complaining about being harassed by police. If you're in a gang you should just expect it - I really have no sympathy even if they say they're going to follow you to the supermarket, let them. If you're telling the truth you have no problem. 

 

 

I agree.

 

I wonder which "supermarket" they may have been really intending to go to?

I had someone send me an email yesterday that he started by quoting Winston Churchill.

What a buffoon (the guy who sent the email).

Winston Churchill had some memorable quotes attributed to him.

Tell him to respect your privacy if he wants your vote.

People complaining about uber eats costs to the restaurants. Then when you suggest they have their own website and drivers are told that they cannot afford that. Which is is? FFS if there was plenty of cash in it I would have expected someone else to come up with a viable alternative.

 

Then all the local yokels start on about "just text your order thru to them" - Great, How do I know what they have on offer other than a 2 year old scanned menu on menulog, portion sizes, how do I pay them, How do I now that they have my address correct, how do I track the delivery.

I didn't even notice that! I suppose the capitals drew my eye, but it's going to annoy me now that you've pointed it out...

Was watching VEEP yesterday (the episode they visit London for the WWI 100th Year)... The campaign manager makes a play of words between "morning" and "mourning"...

Press Conferences in NZ!

 

Particularly highlighted by the current Covid-19 ones.

 

Why do all the reporters talk over each other?

 

Put your "b" hand up and wait your turn.

 

Show the people some respect, and don't show your profession as dis-respectful and unprofessional!

That irritates the heck out of me. With the Covid updates I turn off as soon as the last speaker asks for questions





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.
