If Orange Customer Services say they will get the information to you in 7-10 days then they really mean 20 days.
If someone goes to the races wearing only a G-string and a paint job, then her photo will appear in the paper every day for the coming week.
If GWB in his State of the Union talks about breaking the US’s oil addiction, then we are clearly already screwed. The only question is just how badly we are screwed.

Bonus Stupid Letter!
‘Granted there are many Kiwis returning downunder. But, like the people featured in your article, they are returning to raise families or be closer to family, rather than to further their careers or develop a business or artistic venture. Does this mean New Zealand will end up like a very large retirement village – a safe and politically correct place to live when you no longer want to achieve highly?’

Is Jane Piper a Kiwi, Swiss or something else?
…I’m the only Kiwi in the village….
Doesn’t say on the tin, but almost certain from context to be another Kiwi in your village.
I don’t think we’re screwed. If GWB is trying to prepare the US for life-after-oil at least it’s a start. Cautiously optimistic (against my better judgement)that the administration might be doing something right in trying to disengage from middle east oil. Of course it is just a statement of intent so far.
