558547 2007-06-13 00:03:00 Tell me you didn't believe that was for real???? :eek: allblack (6574)
558548 2007-06-13 00:20:00 Um, she's allowed at least of a bit of a private life, isn't she? Besides, her government is a sponsor of our team, so it's kinda natural that she'd be in contact with the team's leader.

[Edit] - I hadn't read the txts from that report, but I heard previously there was an exchange of messages.

[Edit] - I hadn't read the txts from that report, but I heard previously there was an exchange of messages.Don't forget, 'her government' might be a sponsor of 'our' team, but it's OUR money she's using to do it... You know, the same money that Cullen doesn't want us to have, cause we might spend some of it on inflationary things, like food and overdue power bills!!! :groan: :angry

Bold call i know but its happened before and it can happen again.It's a hard call for sure. But I also reckon we'll do it. 5 - 2 would be about my guesstimate too, Maybe even 5 -1. Our boat is good, the team are tops, they don't have uber-traitor at helm, and Dean has matured immensely even over the last few weeks.

Well NZ does have a huge international debt to pay off before we get any major tax cuts. Atleast that's what gets me to sleep at night.

Atleast that's what gets me to sleep at night.Yeah, and the stronger the NZ dollar is, the bigger the debt will grow, because imports become that much more affordable (despite squeezes on the personal wallet)!! And the worse off NZ manufacturers will be, because it will be cheaper to import it than make it here (which has been happening for a while anyway).

But this is getting a long way away from the original thread subject....oops, just noticed that tha is probably my fault. Sorry! :blush: :)

558555 2007-06-14 09:50:00 Helen Clarke is ok, but I was hoping for more. Man or woman. By that I mean I don't care who it is as long as things get better. Forlorn Hope. zqwerty (97)
