Hard News: An excellent evening in Newtown, in reply to Megan Wegan,
Darling, I'm sure we can find all new ways for you to humiliate yourself.

Have an excellent time in Wellington, Craig. Check out Arty Bees Bookshop if you get the chance.
Matt from Arty Bees will be at the Blend on Thursday. Remind me to introduce you, Craig.

Hard News: The Thread, It Is Open, in reply to Robert Urquhart,

The Earthquake Recovery Minister is concerned that some residents don't understand the full extent of the quake damage. Gerry Brownlee said contractors are working as fast as possible to restore amenities but are having to clear enormous amounts of silt.
yeah, the people breathing the fucking silt in the high winds the last couple of days have a pretty good grasp of how much there is.
