A mate of yours truly reckons that those past-their-use-by-date has-beens Winston Peters and John McCarthy have been teaming up together in opposing the Silver Fern Farms/Shanghai Maling deal.

But this mate also reckons the chances of McCarthy and Peters ever formally teaming up is zero – each of their egos is so big they couldn't fit in the same room at the same time.
