It's 3.15pm and been snowing continuously here since just before 8am. Love that valley Lilith.

It's winter. Again. Snow on ducks on Heathcote River.

Chillchurch? Big flakes and snowing steadily for the last hour in St Martins. Is Emma getting her daleks ready yet?

My favourite is an old Christchurch line: "Are you married, or do you live in Brighton?"

In the meantime I content myself with my pro bono work.
Stop, stop, you people make me laugh so much it hurts.Surely not you also Lilith?

Hard News: Sub Mission, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I see. My home contains a former reporter and a former sub from an altogether more gentlemanly masthead than the Dom; it can still be a version of the Bogside when wires are crossed. Given my total miss of that entendre I shall retire to the cats thread.

But from the perspective of a corporation managing resource units
Infinitely more valuable: subs keep expensive lawsuits away and fill more pages more quickly than a reporter. I'm not making a value judgment but an observation.

Hard News: Sub Mission, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Or perhaps more accurately treat sub editors as non-creative workhorses who can be packed into an open plan office to churn through their work without distraction by journalists.
Subs are journalists, oftentimes with many more years of experience than the reporter. Rarely, the two species can exist peaceably side by side and even intermarry.

Hard News: Friday Music: This stuff works, in reply to Simon Grigg,
music-obsessive blog
Oh God, I thought, another one. Dylan's bloody brass buttons clinky-chinking on some authentic and unlistenable dog of an album and so on and on. I'm wrong. Your music blog is seriously fucking interesting, and I say that as a female with far too many music bores in my past. Tech question: how can I watch that Reggae Britannia without chomping the broadband allowance?
