[19:22] <ajmitch> morning
[19:23] <ibeardslee> hmm oh yeah morning
[19:31] <palhmbs> some excellent rain, makes this a 𝖆𝖜𝖊𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊  morning, man was it getting dry
[19:40] <Bacta> Hi guys
[19:40] <ibeardslee> morning Bacta
[19:41] <Bacta> What's up?
[19:41] <ibeardslee> The sun
[19:41] <Bacta> True
[19:41] <Bacta> Where are you in NZ?
[19:41] <ibeardslee> Welly
[19:41] <Bacta> Oh same here
[19:41] <Bacta> Just out by the airport
[19:44] <Bacta> Wellingtron
[19:49] <ibeardslee> any Qantas planes sitting on the ground out that way?
[19:49] <ajmitch> isn't it just the A380s they've grounded?
[19:49]  * ajmitch wouldn't think they'd try & land one of them at wellington
[19:50] <Bacta> No but Hilary's is
[19:50] <Bacta> Parked out by the airforce base
[19:51] <Bacta> It's a 737-800 by the looks of it
[19:51] <ibeardslee> the President's ;)
[19:52] <Bacta> If you believe John Key then she is
[19:52] <Bacta> He referred to her as "President Clinton" yesterday, such a moron
[19:52] <ajmitch> you can always count on our PM for a bit of humour
[19:52] <ibeardslee> I have trouble believing a word that tool says
[19:52] <Bacta> Hell yes :(
[19:52] <ibeardslee> I hope NZ remembers when it comes around to the next election
[19:52] <Bacta> Me too
[19:52] <ibeardslee> broken promises
[19:53] <Bacta> I want the Goff Father
[19:54]  * ajmitch doesn't think phil goff will really be inspiring, national will probably have to screw up quite a bit for people to change government
[19:54] <Bacta> ajmitch: But it's already happening
[19:54] <Bacta> GST, National Standards, Private Prisons, Tax
[19:54] <Bacta> It may take two terms but they won't do 9 years
[19:54] <ibeardslee> Phil doesn't have the 'aura' to lead the country
[19:54] <ajmitch> whether that's enough for people to care
[19:55] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: neither did bill english :)
[19:55] <ibeardslee> true
[19:55] <Bacta> I think Phil's problem is he's had the media saying he couldn't do it from the get go
[19:55] <ibeardslee> that as well
[19:55] <Bacta> If you say something enough people will eventually believe it
[19:55] <ibeardslee> Helen was always going to be a hard act to follow
[19:55] <Bacta> True
[19:56] <ajmitch> while I certainly didn't like her, I think many could still admire her for how she got stuff done
[19:56] <Bacta> Heh, they had a cartoon in the paper the day after the election showing John Key setting up his office in Helen Clark's shoe
[19:56] <Bacta> I think the same does apply to Goff
[19:57] <ibeardslee> ajmitch: well until the last while anyway .. then I think they/she lost the way
[19:57] <Bacta> Christ, it's 9am ... I need to think about going to work
[20:00]  * ajmitch thankfully got into work before it got too wet here
[20:01] <Bacta> I think I would get in trouble for going on IRC at work
[20:01] <Bacta> In fact we have to use a proxy to access git
[20:01] <ibeardslee> 'essential communication tool' here
[20:01] <Bacta> *hub
[20:01] <Bacta> Where's here?
[20:01] <Bacta> Out of curiosity?
[20:01] <ibeardslee> Catalyst
[20:01] <Bacta> Nice
[20:01] <Bacta> I do IT work for a company in Miramar
[20:02] <Atamira> mornin
[20:11] <mwhudson> morning
