Kudo to Key

[Skyryder]

I like the way you are handling the Fijian thing. I'm impressed.

Aside from looking slightly shakey during the Bangkok incident (when he'd only been in office a week or so) I've been impressed with the way Key has handled a whole lot of things.

[Hitcher]

The word is kudos, not kudo. Americans and other idiots have derived a singular version from the original Greek and should be hung, drawn and quartered for (more) abuse of language. Look it up in a real English dictionary. Kudo belongs in the same draw as aluminum and gotten.

Gahh! Thud.

[Colapop]

I take it, Sir Hitchalot, that you have no other opinion on the matter other than the misuse of the language used?

[Mully]

Alright, who are you and what have you done to Skyrider?

What's the latest? Have we finally given away the Clark/Peters finger-wagging in favour of something a bit more pragmatic? I don't see us jumping to impose sanctions following the overthrow of the democratically elected Thai government...

Are you looking forward to watching "America's Most Smartest Models" on TV?

Such was the magnitude of the language crime, I was completely blinded by the issue at hand.

My opinion on that? Who cares? Fiji has never been on my list of places to go. If one is ever contemplating a tropical island paradise holiday, one would go to North Queensland. The first world has much to commend it, including great sport on TV and good beer.

Like wow. Far out. Awesome. Eeeee!

[MisterD]

Fiji ...good beer.

I have to say even more refreshing than the beer itself, was the fact that Fiji Bitter could still be advertised as "The Sportsman's Beer".

I could plead ignorance for this heinous crime, my lack of education of only two years high school where Greek or Latin was not deemed worthy of my intelligence or the truth......... a simple typo………..due typing too fast I missed the S. But with all my faults pansophy is not one of them.

Have you actually had a good look at what is actually going on in Thailand politics?

[MisterD]

No, but then it appears to me that nobody in our previous administration had actually had a good look at what was going on in Fijian politics...

If you weren't a self-appointed pedant, I wouldn't pull you up on this.

However Aluminum is actually the historically correct spelling. The spelling was proposed by the British scientist Humprey Davy who discovered it in 1808.

As the wiki article notes, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry recognises both spellings.

THANK you VERY MUCH.. i have been trying to teach these heathens for years .. they keep on insisting on driving on the wrong side, talking and spelling funny and watching some snore-fest called "Test Cricket" where they apparently have to wear funny clothes, white lipstick and run like chicks..


i feel like Dian Fossey
