Any idea how late the session in the Thistle is likely to go? I'd like to attend, but am unlikely to be able to get there earlier than 9:30pm.
Well I solemnly promise to still be there.

Looks like 15 seconds of fame
I read this as '15 seconds of lame', which seemed appropriate.

Nonetheless, no, there was no chair. It isn't even a rude story, so there.
Speaker in those days was Jonathan Hunt, a man who at least had some gravitas, even if you didn't agree with him.

Are you really as credulous as some of the more trusting souls who were our wedding guests?
Heh, I have a 'run-in with parliamentary security' story that I can't tell. It was a long time ago, and everyone's moved on since. Even, I guess, the person involved who is now an MP.

so umm... how goes it for Chch? are you looking for a venue?
We're in negotiations for a venue. There will be a Chch launch even if we end up having to have it in David's yard with the bees.

the Security stuff have Mr Speaker's authority to lock people in the basement cells for up to 24 hours if necessary
Given the relationship we've had with the Speaker's Office so far, best keep this quiet. I don't think you'll be able to hear me from down there. Or at least, not before they throw Megan and Jo in with me.

Sadly those people and the things they do make the news, as they should
One of the reasons Transsexual Remembrance Day started is that those deaths weren't being reported, or when they were it was in the most dehumanising and sensationalist way possible.
And sometimes when you went where you felt you might legitimately find support, you found this instead.
The idea of people assembling at the Riff Raff statue in Hamilton to commemorate the deaths of people in Brazil so unimportant they don't even have names is pretty heavenly.

But Parliamentary security like to have a list of names.
Then you'll just have to deal with that whole "Oi, you, Jesus, no sandals!" thing.

Interestingly, you get The Matriarch cited in a University of Canterbury English Dept essay writing guide, written in 1990.
I own this. Odd to realise it might be the origin of my some of my attitudes on the issue.
It also contains an explanation of the origins of the term 'deadline'. They're just sayin', is all...

You and Lockwood Smith...
Except I'd bet my life Lockwood Smith isn't looking at my boobs at home.
