Just had an argument with the missus

Three for me, and two for them.

Basically it goes like this,

Say all the parking spaces at your local whatever (supermarket, football club etc) are taken. John Key comes along and wants one.

My argument: John Key can have any parking space he wants as he is our Prime Minster and runs the country.

Her argument: He isn't above the law so can't just steal a parking space and he doesn't own NZ.

Three for me, and two for them.

I'm with her.  He'll probably wait for one just like the rest of us.

Well of course he'd wait for one because he's not a complete c**t. But i'm not factoring any of that in. I'm simply saying if he wanted a parking spot he could have it and who could realistically stop him?

I'm with Buffy. John Key's time is more valuable to the future of NZ as opposed to Buffy's mrs, as a result i'd much rather Buffy has to deal with a pissed of Mrs Buffy and John Key has more time to focus on running the country.

However this arguement is ultimately void, John Key get's driven everywhere.

It's illegal now.
 
Maybe she could tell him to sit in the naughty chair and think about what he has done.

Actually if you have had an argument with your missus then the outcome will be that she has won.
 
Either that or you'll be sleeping on the sofa for the next few nights.

I believe people of power shall be given extra privileges.

Tbh, I don't care when some MPs spend and extra $2,000 from Billion dollars of budget, as long as they're doing their job who gives a rats arse.

Al though purposely ripping on the system just because one can (E.g. Bill's houses) isn't acceptable.Michael2009-12-31 02:42:04

I'm with the lady on this one bud, just cos he makes the laws doesn't mean he can break them.....although if its his parlimentary car its not likely to be ticketed or towed - his personal vehicle might be a different story.

Mrs Buffy is right.  And when you say who could realistically stop him, I'm pretty sure anyone could if they were there first.  More important question is what could he do?  Answer, nothing.

I recently had an argument with a friend over what would win in a fight, a Stegosaurus or a Triceratops, but this one about Key is a far better debate.

It's not that good. I just want to beat her in an argument. Thought i had a good case for once. Looks like i don't.

In a lot of countries you would be right, but here we have pretty strong public sentiment that doesn't let the leaders go around being above the law.
 
There was this recent story about Bill English (or his security dudes) parking illegally: http://www.3news.co.nz/English-in-hot-water-over-drivers-parking/tabid/419/articleID/131748/Default.aspx
 
Probably would've been an even bigger story if it was related to Key.
 
Also, it's not completely the same I know, but the Helen Clark speeding motocade thing is relevant here as well.
 
Best not to mention this thread to her I reckon! Better luck next argument. Would've liked to help you defeat the 'missus', but couldn't sorry!

There is this part in the article:
 
Wellington City Council told 3 News there can be parking exemptions for prime ministerial cars if there is deemed to be a security need.

 
So you can claim that in some circumstances you are correct and claim a draw (in true Phoenix style)!

As long as when you're with #5 you don't call out "#3!" inadvertantly.  That would piss her off big time.

Everybody I know bar the individual in question agreed with me that 9 times out of 10 Triceratops would kick arse.  Steg only get's 1/10 as I must concede that upsets do occur.

Personally I still think a Triceratops could show an Allosaurus who's boss.  The body armour would tip it in its favour.

There's only one way to settle this.  Build a time machine and go back and take a video.  slight problem for me is that I've lost my sonic screwdriver (lent it to some chap with a police call box and the miserable sod hasn't been seen since).
