I wonder if Winston Peters will be “drinking liberally” tonight 😉
I2, His drinking might be the only thing he does “straight”.

Are you implying that there is a close relationship between Winston and Tommy Gear JP?
Oops, no Monkeyking, that’s not what I meant. I meant as in straight talk.

Thanks for the promo Pete, it went really well, Laila made some very interesting points about the union movement in her speech, and more in response to questions, so I hope we’ll be able to get some video up 🙂 Did you have a good time at the opera?
Look forward to the video. We were entertaining a visiting academic last night, so I missed it 😦

Ah I retract my scurrilous assertion that you were an opera-goer, our mutual friend must have been misinformed 😉
Julie, she’s been very busy. I went to a recital concert on Monday night, though.
