Get in behind Trev

Mallard is my local MP and I have, over the years, had some interaction with him and have always found him reasonably helpful and inclined to act rather than talk. Probably a trait that has got him into the hot water he now finds himself. I would guess his career prospects are down the gurgler. You would think that Goff must be the front runner to replace Clark.

Interesting that it was Tau Henare (who I have a bit of time for) as their "relationship" goes back some years as Tau is Tuku Morgan's brother in law.

When we are overseas and being hassled by hawkers etc we speak a few words of Maori in an attempt to pretend we don't speak English. We usually start of with Tau henare, Matui Rata Pakeha Aotearoa. Has only worked a couple of times.

Telecom - a promise for faster (but at what cost?) Broadband. Again, although a new captain at the helm, seeing will be believing.

On the personal front I am involved with a Seniors Expo (which could have been organised better although there are some outside factors that have not helped) and we have now got a wireless connection for our laptop so we will see how that works out. I read on the Aardvark site about another insane Copyright problem. In Canada they put some Public Domain (according to Canadian law) sheet music on the Net but got a complaint from a German firm claiming the were breaching German Copyright. As per usual you know who won. It is like saying to one country you can't publish something that is legal in your country because it breaks anothers laws. Madness.
