  • Cracker: Wallywood,

    ya mean PE ain't Physical Education!?

    There is a sadly high number of addicts - alcohol/E/other- within North Otago. They're useless wee shits - but - and seriously - what can you do with them?

    Oamaru is of course renowned for its Panadol
    bludgers and other fine home-baking...
    :- )

    Cheeses died for your sins...

    and we have a local (Harihari) person who makes goat paneer

    so that would be a vital ingredient in the "gut-wrenching" Harihari-curry...
    also known as the face saving after-dinner disembowelmint...

  • Hard News: Ready for the Weekend,

    In related news, Paul Weller just received the NME gong for being a 'Godlike Genius'. While the title does seem a bit OTT, I agree he deserves at least equal status to Bobbie Gillespie.

    So what songs did this God bloke write?
    I've heard the GOD track on Onset/Offset's Solid Kryptonite Hits LP from the '80s - but I thought that was an acronym for Gordon On Drugs...

    re: the Hollie Smith album (catch her on tour in
    April ) - guitars by Tyson Smith (no relation), he's one to watch, his debut album is out in early April, or try and catch the Tyson Smith Trio or his work with sister Tamara in the brilliant "World Music" band Mundi as well or check his website
    oh by the way I'm a fan... :- )

    Seeing it's Friday...

    the extended art cinema version
    - music kicks in at about 2 minutes

    in a different universe we could have had
    The Flight of the Conger Eels...

  • Cracker: Wallywood,

    You can almost forgive him for discovering fucking Dire Straits..almost, but not quite...

    I was gonna say that
    - I just thought it was too soon...
    But I guess there are some crimes against
    humanity you can never escape from...
    :- )

    Luckily we still have Trevor Reekie doing sterling work with Hidden Treasures on Sunday morning
    National Radio...

  • Cracker: Wallywood,

    maintaining a spectrum of thought...
    from my onboard dictionary:

    THE RIGHT WORD
    When you give your opinion on something, you offer a conclusion or a judgment that, although it may be open to question, seems true or probable to you at the time (she was known for her strong opinions on women in the workplace).
    A view is an opinion that is affected by your personal feelings or biases (his views on life were essentially optimistic), while a sentiment is a more or less settled opinion that may still be coloured by emotion (her sentiments on aging were shared by many other women approaching fifty).
    A belief differs from an opinion or a view in that it is not necessarily the creation of the person who holds it; the emphasis here is on the mental acceptance of an idea, a proposition, or a doctrine and on the assurance of its truth (religious beliefs; his belief in the power of the body to heal itself).
    A conviction is a firmly held and unshakable belief whose truth is not doubted (she could not be swayed in her convictions), while a persuasion (in this sense) is a strong belief that is unshakable because you want to believe that it's true rather than because there is evidence proving it so (she was of the persuasion that he was innocent) .

    though when wrestling with ideas
    the oh pinion can be used to bind or
    hold someone down while you engage
    some spindly ol' pinion gear with the great grinding flywheel feathering one's flights of imagination - ergo cogitation!

  • Up Front: This is a Photograph of Me,

    Stamping ground...

    On the subject of photo ID, my partner just got his very first passport... ...He regards it with great suspicion. I'm not sure what he thinks will happen now he has one, but apparently it portends ominous things.

    well it's a doorway to interesting people and alien ideas alike, alot like PAS sport, which can be had 24/7 without even leaving home...
