it was anonymous fun. Not on.

Hey I enjoyed it. Taglessly.

The hardest part of it was keeping a straight face while she was abusing me.

That was fraking hilarious — though it's been weird watching "Jacqui Brown" the lunatic Z-list micro-celebrity after meeting the real thing, who is none of the above. We crossed paths at the Downlow Concept just…

Lurkers are usually pretty engaged with the community.

Indeed, it wasn't like I noticed a big silent majority or anything. If there were lurkers, they were having fun.

I personally felt very comforted by the idea and possible presence of lurkers. They're still part of the community, probably the biggest part.

I have several times had people I know socially come up to me and say "Hey, I've seen you posting on Public Address..." And I'm hardly a…

I have no idea how I feel hungover without drinking a drop, either.

I felt far too hungover on Saturday for the amount of alcohol I remember consuming on Friday too. But I've worked out what it was now. It was actually that my smiling muscles were fatigued. Not the…

The hardest part of it was keeping a straight face while she was abusing me.

A task you performed with great aplomb, I must say.

that record I was blathering about

Will check it out.

Nice to meet a bunch of you. Thanks for the enjoyable company.

Jackie, next time. :)

But Russell will still have all those fittings. He's moved Lil's once (it used to be at the bottom of Anzac Ave), and I think he'd like to do so again..

Yes, and isn't he just the cat's pyjamas, such an elegant man with good taste. :)

That Media 7 moment on The Jacqui Brown Diaries was a strang (but compelling) moment indeed. Did she sneak into TVNZ in disguise?

They did it at The Classic earlier in the year, before a Media7 show. We shot it for them.

The scene as recorded was actually a little…

I understood they're moving the Birdcage/Lils rather than demolishing it. Heritage building. Doubt it will feel the same as enjoying fine company under a motorway overpass with gauche statuary, 80s brickwork – and authentic Auckland leakiness as someone described it.

The heritage part of the pub will be dismantled and…

See some of you @ The Civic in an hour or so.

I understood they're moving the Birdcage/Lils rather than demolishing it. Heritage building. Doubt it will…

I was wondering if Ben Wilson and 3410 were fated never to meet for a while there last night.

At 3am this morning, having just gone to bed I heard 3410 say good night, and headed for his home. PAS and music certainly brings minds together.I thought Lawrence Arabia (James?)…

Cos it is nice not to talk once in a while.

What is this 'not talking' of which you speak?

ETA As suspected, a party with drunken lawyers followed by Jarvis Cocker just about did me in, so there was no way I could have post-show-PASed. I have no idea…

Have to say, kind of glad we weren't on a boat…

And 3410, that record I was blathering about was Harold Melvin and…

Ataque de Pánico

I think the collapse of the building at 3.12 is pretty good evidence that the whole thing was an inside job.

Sorry I missed your party.

But I am picking you up Monday morning to have a look at the house around the corner from you. 10.30amish.yes?

What's with channel 7 getting a mention on a TV3 production? I checked, but the sky isn't falling. You even got to pimp your show, like, really obviously and stuff. Weird.

Going out with a DJ. Heh. First class social commentary, that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dadPWhEhVk&feature=player_embedded

Made for $500. Presumably US. Of course, the director actually runs a post-production house, so unless you've got your own post-production house it'd cost a few bob more. Astonishing stuff though. And now [[http://newslite.tv/2009/12/02/unknown-filmmaker-gets-30m-for.html|they've given the bloke a budget of $30 million to make a…

Because, not content with being in one place at a time, you are now existing in parallel universes. Anyway, I'm bringing my own name badge. And the rest of you will just have to tough it out.

Oh, by popular demand, there will be name-tags.

The stickery kind.

Unless they…

looking forward to Monday night... that Reserve Bank Annual is gonna make an awesome birthday present for one of the pseudo-grownups in this house

...which got its start from Hong Kong loves to graphically illustrate "news" in computer-generated graphics in a step-by-step recreation format;

Do they all look like they're screencapped from Sims 2?

But anyway it gives us a good example of the problem with the policy. Based on this story, I would say that Tolley is rude and contemptuous. Is that a personal attack by me on her? Some people would say yes. And…

… does not appear to be an overly onerous test, unless I am missing something?

It seems to me you're missing Tolley regaling her subordinates with rat-centred parables.

Because this is the Friday thread I'd like to know what people think of this.

There sounds to be a degree of over reaction going on there if the veracity of the article can be believed. A code that states:

it is unacceptable for employees to comment on government policy…

Hey 3410, how will everyone recognise you?

My description matches, exactly, that of BenWilson, minus two inches in height and one wife.

Because this is the Friday thread I'd like to know what people think of this.

I like how the article first says that Tolley threw her weight behind the union, then quotes her as saying that "to claim the code of conduct has anything to do with muzzling schools and…

though major bummer that Danielle won't be in attendance

:)

Well, even if I didn't have two other engagements, I couldn't drink, thanks to my parasite. I would need some alcohol for courage-making purposes, because I am a scaredy wimp. (Hey 3410, how will everyone recognise you? Are you planning…

It's not a recreation – it's genuine chinese spy satellite footage – including the scenes inside the house!!!

No way. That policeman was definitely computer-generated!

this Chinese news item, re-creating Tiger Woods' unfortunate incident, is the freakiest thing I've seen all week

Ah yes... Tiger Woods' penis has become the American equivalent of Helen Clark's pussy: The media obsession with both organs being in direct inverse proportion to their actual news value.

Meanwhile, another famous…
