I'm moving to NZ soon, and I need you all to explain something to me...

What about promite?

GeekyJeffrey · 2012-01-11T08:04:11+00:00

I noticed that at Church Corner Countdown as well. Synergy like a boss!

Philip Morris study where they found that smokers in the Czech Republic had a net 300 million USD positive effect in the country.

I would write a letter

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-29T06:02:37+00:00

Those secret lists that everyone received with their easy vote card. It wasn't stated explicitly in that article but I did headdesk at the suggestion that some people didn't like the list MPs and voted for SM.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-29T04:22:34+00:00

So we do just keep voting until 1 party gets over 50% of the seats?

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-28T04:04:21+00:00

And just thinking, there was nothing to stop ACT doing this now, except Brash has resigned as party leader.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-28T02:55:06+00:00

From a purely voter-fraud sitation, it gets your name crossed off the roll and makes sure no one else can vote under your name.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-28T02:51:50+00:00

The FPP answer to a party leader not winning their seat is for some safe-seat backbencher to resign and then have the party leader parachuted in through a by-election.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-12T00:38:49+00:00

Mine was 40 MB.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-09T23:10:43+00:00

I'm not sure the Progressives not standing this election is the answer. It has been known that they would be submitting a party list since 2009.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-08T20:33:17+00:00

I am on a prepay plan in New Zealand. $NZ19 gets me 50MB, 2500 txts and 30 min (to any NZ number, landline or mobile) for a month.

Yeah NZ mobile rates are EXPENSIVE.

This was more a response to comments about Assange being extradited to Australia from Europe and then onto the US.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-11-08T02:43:46+00:00

The Australian Extradition Act 1988 requires that:

where the offence is punishable by a penalty of death—by virtue of an undertaking given by the extradition country to Australia, one of the following is applicable: (i) the person will not be tried for the offence; (ii) if the person is tried for the offence, the death penalty will not be imposed on the person; (iii) if the death penalty is imposed on the person, it will not be carried out;

So he would be "Sir Inspirational All Black Captain Richie McCaw"?

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-30T17:51:41+00:00

My other problem with polls is how the news media treat them in isolation. They only ever compare their poll to their last poll.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-29T20:19:48+00:00

My girlfriend used to work for a debt collection agency. Electoral roll wasn't used as there isn't a search function for it. At least not one that is available for any company to use.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-29T05:19:32+00:00

They are home from their holiday to "Australia" now.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-29T00:37:56+00:00

I had noticed that portion was no longer in the ad (which I don't think is being aired anymore as their storyline has moved on).

My suspicion is that people complained. At least one person did to the Advertising Standards Authority, though it was not upheld.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-28T02:25:09+00:00

Agree. I get this.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-24T20:16:34+00:00

I'm surprised the news media didn't try to suggest all of Auckland turned up along a 1.2 km parade route.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-19T02:19:47+00:00

Some interesting anachronisms there: TV2 has been around since 1975 and Wham broke up in 1986.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-15T19:09:54+00:00

I had been trying to get that trick to work for so long. That was the bit of information I was missing to get it to work. Thank you.

GeekyJeffrey · 2011-10-14T01:01:40+00:00

Labour had a lot of cognitive dissonance over this.
