The all-time winner on my loathsome list

Pizza Express Chriswick, all of 1987. And no, you can't have extra fucking pepperoni.

This is a so bad it's bad thread right? I'm tempted to put in some 'so bad it's goods'.

Anything by Leonard bloody Cohen (all three of my husbands have liked him).

How do you do the long url? Which one is that?

Capture: EQNZ Remembrance, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I'm hard-pressed to see how it could even cost a fraction of $91 million
Me too. What the hell are the priorities of the whoever is driving this when there are so many other things needed? Think small and cumulative is the answer, not trying to immediately fix the damage to the work of 150 years of pakeha settlement in all these big projects. The Arts Centre, the Cathedrals, the whole city weren't built overnight, they took decades and for some reason there seems to be a headlong rush to fix it all fast. It cannot happen, financially or to regain the accumulated wairua (if a place can have wairua? maybe the wrong word). Start small; if you want to change a street direction repaint the lines and the signs and see what evolves. Do I make sense? I'll elaborate when I have more time and less fury.

Nice.
Dennis is rarely nice. Beware.

Tbh, I'm way more comfortable with "a McDonald's burger" than "one of McDonald's burgers". And I really can't say why
[A reply to the Twitter on the right]
Because the branding lingo has gotcha.

This actually reminds me of something on my "will get around to it if the right potluck event comes up"- I thought I might sometime do a "something in a cage" bread sculpture by baking the two parts separately, doing the cage by inverting a square cake tin, and putting strips of firm dough over the outside to form the cage structure (with something to stop the dough sticking to the tin). I reckon this should create a breadstick cage, that I could put over the solider bread figure baked separately.
Cakes as constructions: I like that idea. and the bread monster too.

Huntascollectas Seymourii
Thanks for the reminder -- I'd forgotten about Hunters and Collectors. They were amazing live: I saw them a quite few times in the 80s, a night at Victoria Uni was one of the best concerts ever. Are they still extant?
