@maxrushden "Thrilling"? Btw. I am struggling to remember the last time I saw a keeper punt the ball from their hands. Does this coincide with keepers playing a sweeper role these days? Loving your show.... youtube.com/watch?v=H4XjGl…

Thrilling game at the City Ground. Contractually obliged to say I predicted Forest would get relegated. Defended absolutely brilliantly.

At what point do you reach out to @FairGoNZ when you believe your bank is not giving you a fair go, I wonder? Where's my $?

As an aside, I have also similarly wondered why the bicycle industry does not promote car calming measures or bicycle infrastructure.

@bernardchickey Why? 1. Because businesses are not especially skilled to manage an economy as is promoted. 2. Employers know that property is where the real money is to be made in a "housing market with bits tacked on" economy.

@bernardchickey Concessions to appease a lobby that never votes Labour. National plans to repeal anyway. Impasse of catastrophic consequences.

We can spend a lot of time wondering whether or not we should be with a given person. But to cut through our doubts efficiently, we might consider our responses to 7 very short statements designed to highlight the extent of two people’s compatibility.

One of the great paradoxes of mental life is we’re often unable to access our true feelings about important matters. We settle, in haste or fear, on the obvious answers. We ignore deep truths first and foremost because we aren’t trained to solicit them. youtu.be/cCnh2TWMhfw

BREAKING NEWS: Sam Uffindell appointed Group Leader of National's Youth Boot Camp Reprogramming Programme.

Definition of a present: something you can’t get for yourself. As a child, that meant toys. In adulthood: reassurance, sympathy, forgiveness. (Dada Adesoji Disu, The Hug, 2017)

Some of our greatest insights come when we stop trying to be purposeful and instead respect the creative potential of daydreaming.

@BrycePearce @NZGreens It’s been a while since we’ve been asked to be community minded and reduce power consumption because the hydro lakes have gone dry.

NZ deserves a greener, fairer electricity market. The Nats semi-privatised the sector in 2014 which set a mandate for profits over everything, & current tinkering isn't enough. Massive profits should be reinvested into renewables & action to reduce household bills. Full stop.
