A small amount of green paint


Very perceptive, ODT. Examination period has truly begun.


Yes, we suppose students could get their applications in earlier. Or the government could pull its head in and give Studylink the resourcing it needs. Not that we don’t like listening to an entire Brooke Fraser album while on-hold.


Talk about crying over spilt milk – or, in this case, paint. “A small amount of green paint” spilled onto a highway calling to the scene not only the police but also fire fighters and the Department of Conservation. ODT reports the paint was dry by the time everyone showed up.


Looks like the extreme fear mongering spearheaded by the US media has taken its toll: a man has been rescued after attempting to run from Florida to Bermuda in an inflatable bubble. That’s one way to escape the “large scale outbreak” in the US.


Good use of quotes, ODT, always adds credibility to any article. Unfortunately, you (and many other news sources) neglected to include the ENTIRE quote. “Mr McDonald” also said in the same post, “I hope you all learnt a very valuable lesson, that being ... with great tits, comes great responsibilities. ... Long live the RACK. Peace & love. We will now have a period of 10 minutes where everyone can say their goodbyes. :’(“
