It certainly was reassuring to hear how calm Emma sounded reviewing this morning although I'm sure she could've made a conribution on swearing too.
Dude, this isn't the first time I've said this, and it won't be the last, but that's not me.

That voice is nowhere near witty and saucy enough

Of course, the wielders of nukes don't typically bury them kilometers underground.
At Mururoa they dug up to a kilometer under the atoll to set off 147 nuclear bombs over a 20 year period.

Not you.
Apologies.

Emma, it was a trifle confusing that Kathryn Ryan mentioned that that Emma Hart was in the Wellington studio with her, while you had just written about being in bed in Christchurch.

Where would we be if we couldn't say "How 'bout that weather eh" :)
How about Conversation the Jane Austen Way:
In the present instance, she confessed and lamented her want of knowledge, declared that she would give anything in the world to be able to draw; and a lecture on the picturesque immediately followed, in which his instructions were so clear that she soon began to see beauty in everything admired by him, and her attention was so earnest that he became perfectly satisfied of her having a great deal of natural taste. He talked of foregrounds, distances, and second distances—side-screens and perspectives—lights and shades; and Catherine was so hopeful a scholar that when they gained the top of Beechen Cliff, she voluntarily rejected the whole city of Bath as unworthy to make part of a landscape. Delighted with her progress, and fearful of wearying her with too much wisdom at once, Henry suffered the subject to decline, and by an easy transition from a piece of rocky fragment and the withered oak which he had placed near its summit, to oaks in general, to forests, the enclosure of them, waste lands, crown lands and government, he shortly found himself arrived at politics; and from politics, it was an easy step to silence.

Oh, no worries Tim. It just happens kind of a lot.

Jeez Craig! You need to put up a warning before posting Austen. I stopped before the first comma, but now I feel all stabby.

and I have to say the Martyrdom of Bob Parker is beginning to wear thin - he's going on in the paper (and on his extended Campbell Live Ad last night) about doing 20 hour days -
The hagiography is rather in overdrive. I reckon those who are genuinely working overtime to create a semblance of meaning behind Mayor Bob's paper-thin 'personality' are tempting fate. Once you've performed your first apparent miracle it's foot to the floor exploiting the window of opportunity between that and your inevitable crucifixion.

The Amchitka bomb test was set off nearly 2km deep.

3410,
Damn. Sorry to hear that, Joe.

Thanks PPl. I'd take you up on the scarey thing Jackie, but you DO. NOT. ARGUE. with these folks
The brief period of post-disaster anarchy had its charm, but now there's a barrier around the sinkhole in the street to keep the kids out. Just as well I suppose.
Time to switch off now, all the best to all of yous.
-
Hang in there Joe.
-
These best wishes for you & yours Joe, for when you get back- on broadband and in home-
-
Oh, shit, Joe. I hope you have somewhere to go. If you are seeking peace and quiet (with the only sound of gentle rain failling on the lush, green grass of the Waikato), you are welcome to come visit here (and we have wireless!)

:-) Yes, damn straight. Thanks Craig.
Well f*ck me I've been yellow stickered & must vacate.
Goodbye sweet broadband.That's a really strange paragraph.:-(
Yellow? Why yellow?
Missing you already Joe.
Where you gonna go Joe?
I don't expect an answer cos I'm swinging by late, I know. See you on the flipside. -
Oh no, Joe! Best wishes to you and yours.
-
Yellow? Why yellow?
Green is for fine, go. Red is for insanely dangerous, stop. Yellow is 'limited access' - you can go in and out for stuff, but don't stay there.
