Yes, a bit out of context in this thread, but I couldn't find the right one. You'd said of the leaky homes issue, that if it'd happened in Russia, it'd be said it could only happen in Russia. Or words to that effect.

Feel free to delete these comments if you like!

i think it's a good way to qualify certain kinds of events: 'it could only happen in russia'. we need to force the meme! the last nz incedent certainly falls in the same category - except, casualty count is way off.
