What an absolute legend. Give him a medal.

Definitely not a good look. Not quite as serious as assaulting a child with a bed leg. Or abusing airline staff. Or diddling kids.

I think as a list MP, if she resigns then someone else from the list replaces her. Pretty shitty behaviour but obviously there is a complete lack of information on what actually happened.

Got a gull stuck in the decorative grill on the front of our office once. Spent the whole morning shrieking, seemed like he was stuck. Called the council, SPCA, building owner, nobody wanted to help.

Then after a few hours the bastard quite calmly hopped up and flew out.

That gull was a dick. We named him Greg.

Better to ask forgiveness rather than permission.

Edit: how did I get that backwards?

Nitrates in drinking water are linked to cancer and birth defects. In high-enough concentrations it can trigger blue-baby syndrome, which can straight-up kill babies.

Got an email advertising cyber monday sales on firewood. Yup, logs of wood. For cyber monday.

100%. Unless the toilet has a dedicated ass-wiping professional I’m not paying to use it.

Weird take tbh… we currently restrict sale of these products to people over 18 - I don’t see this as much of a change from that conceptually. It’s a clever method as it allows current addicts to continue without a sudden cold-turkey stop, but makes it much harder for future generations to gain access to tobacco.

We need to end the tobacco industry somehow, and this is a reasonable way to taper it out of existence. Other scrapped plans include removing nicotine and other addictive substances from tobacco, and removing tobacco from being sold in dairies and service stations.

They would be unable to buy cigarettes, there would be no law against smoking them. That’s an important difference.

So how would you propose we end the sale of tobacco?

There is actually a movie about it called Mr Organ. I recommend it.

 
 

Glad to hear that Police are taking the safety of our Muslim and Jewish whanau seriously.

 

“Artist’s impression” is really stretching the definition of “artist” on this one.

 

Oh good lord, John Oliver has some clout.

Who did you vote for?

 
 

Appalling and unjustifiable behaviour. No matter your depth of feeling, this kind of violence is unacceptable.
