A text exchange
October 5th, 2011 at 1:40 pm by David FarrarGot invited by a local business to be at their table for a lunch with the PM today. Was a very good event, and the PM as usual talked comprehensively on the economic situation locally and globally.
Have to share, as it was so unlikely, the text exchange I had with an MP sitting at the table next to us.
DPF: Who is the goddess sitting next to Roger?
MP: My sister
I responded that I looked forward to being his brother-in-law. His response is best not to be printed

“the PM as usual talked comprehensively on the economic situation locally and globally”
Translation:
The PM talked through a hole in his arse

Years ago I worked for a Finance coy in Hawke Bay. One day I was out with our Repossession agent, who was a very very large gentleman.
Vote:Anyway, we passed a group of school girls and one of them waved at us. I remarked that she was quite cute, which got the reply “she is my daughter!”
I promptly changed the subject.

So long as you restricted yourself to txting under the table .

“Much like you matt.”
Vote:Gold! Gold! Absolute gold. I bow down to your vastly superior wit and natural ability.
I’m just glad I’m not PM so that talking through my arse on economic matters is not much an embarrassment for me as it is for JK.

You have never said a single thing of any value matt, you jsut turned up and started trash talked backed by nothing. Sure your mother says you’re cool and you’ve convinced yourself your shining witt, but the rest of us think your confused by a spoonerism.

Jeez m@tt – you’re really a nasty piece of work, aren’t you?
I guess you won’t be a happy camper at the end of next month either.
Unlucky.

Actually the family and I are off over xmas/new year in the new caravan so I’ll probably be quite a happy camper.
For reference. The PM I’m talking about is the one that describes his plans for a recession as ‘muddling through’ who last week was full of empty optimism for NZ and is backed up by a finance minister who last week met with rating agencies but this week was ‘surprised’ when we were downgraded.
So excuse me if I don’t look at everything through a pair of your sapphire tinted glasses.

m@tt – You don’t have to look through ‘sapphire tinted glasses’ to recognise that NZ has been largely sheltered from the global meltdown. Lets face it – your regular posts along the lines that ‘Key = bad’ are monotonous.
You strike me as the type of person who would complain and bleat because the Rolex you were given for Christmas wasn’t the style you had coveted for a decade.
Hopefully your holiday will cleanse your mind……

Like it. Is that why he thinks that Labour’s strategy is a cunning stunt?

That would be Roger Douglas?
So DPF you are fascinated by Grandma’s then?

I’d rather the PM talk about Monnbeam. The PM knows more about his cat than he does about the economy.

DPF: PM as usual talked on the economic situation locally and globally.
Yeah, the talk part he got covered. Does he have any idea how not to borrow us into oblivion? Who was the first PM to get us a credit downgrade anyway?
Vote:October 5th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
So, come on then DPF… who is the ‘Goddess’?
I’m dying to know.
Vote:October 5th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
The “Roger” could have been anyone…but give us a clue DPF!!

Welcome to the 21st Century. Where we text someone sitting a metre away, rather than talking to them.
Vote:And no one else thinks that’s unusual.
