The NBR gets all catty…has someone shown them the readership stats of interest.co.nz?
NBR’s stand-off with the Serious Fraud Office remains finely poised.
If it goes the wrong way, editor-in-chief Nevil Gibson (or Neville, as the SFO insists on calling him) faces up to 12 months jail and a $40,000 fine.
The worst-case scenario, according to fringe business commentator Bernard Hickey, would see Mr Gibson sharing a cell with Cameron Slater.*
But Private Bin thinks the above photo** show NBR’s helmsman has been working out and is in good shape to hold his own in the prison yard.
* Yes, we know Whaleoil has only been fined; just go with the joke and imagine he doesn’t pay.

I do have some sympathy with Bazza and the folk at NBR after we smashed them and their stink Veuve Clicquot competition up. They coughed the plonk, only for a thieving maori slapper to take it all and not deliver on her promise for a piss-up. If I was NBR I would be crawling all over her massive fat maori arse asking where her promised party is? No one I know who helped int he viral smash-up has even received a single teaspoon of Veuve Clicquot in thanks for helping her win her massive weight in booze.
See Busted Blonde, I never, ever, ever forget a sleight.
