In fact this is the first time I have tried snails. Quite nice, cooked in garlic butter and then spooned into a crispy vol-au-vent. The garlic was not overpowering. All around delectable.

Once again, we find ourselves the butt of political jokes and general international disbelief. Yes, I am talking about the unfolding (unfolded by now) antipodean drama that is the Labour Party.
Really? They think it is a good idea to do this? Before an election?

I am one of those sad sobs that listens to parliamentary radio on 630 AM, almost daily. It is depressing enough most days but this comedy of errors takes the cake. Our lives are determined by people engaged in school yard popularity contests and individual opportunism.
In the immortal words of Kent Brockmann (TM):” I have said it before and I’ll say it again…democracy just doesn’t work.”
I rest my case.
