Owner of demolished antique shop is another casualty of official arrangements.
I would like thank those people who made it all happen, and hope it never happens to you.
The person from civil defence who told be that my warehouse was destroyed when it was not even damaged.
The people from ERNI who never contacted me regarding salvage.
The policeman who accused me of being a looter while salvageing my posessions and who detained me under the civil defence regulations.
...The Army person who prevented me from salvaging items but told me I was welcome to pick through the rubble after demolition.
The person from CERA who removed the approval for salvage from my file.
The person from CERA who put the building on the urgent list and denied salvage during demolition.
All the people who never kept me informed of what was happening regards demolition and and salvage and all those people who promised to get back to me who never did.

Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to David Haywood,
They believe that the EQC legislation gives them an out so that they only have to do the hypothetical repairs on hypothetically undamaged land.
I don't know at this stage whether they're correct or not -- but I guess they've had their legal weasels go through this pretty thoroughly.
It’s so drummed into you as an engineer that you have to comply with standards, etc. that it never occurred to me that insurance companies would have got their mum to write them a sick note on this. But quite possibly they have.
Sorry to be blunt but that's the govt-sanctioned outcome of the backroom industry negotiations with Brownlee, Joyce, English and co we were discussing on earlier threads. The companies will bluff it out accordingly with a high degree of confidence - and with an incompetent media and political opposition, who can blame them? I hear there's a rugby game or something.

AGW is not disproven, but it sure as hell isn't proven at this point in time
And smoking doesn't cause cancer, you know.

Hard News: How much speech does it take?, in reply to Russell Brown,
And today some anonymous commenter at Cresswell's blog is calling you, Danyl and those other filthy socialist bloggers "opportunistic peddlars of implied hate". It's probably all that implication that's really upsetting.
The rest of us have "fevered imaginings" and "no grounding in reality" too.
And there's no connection between hateful thinking, hateful talking and hateful acting. Nothing to see here.

the desperate sense that his "cultural identity" is not, has not been, sufficiently respected
Because he's so special and because rich white men are victimised in Norway as everywhere else.
He's a spoilt, angry little shit.

Worth remembering that we've been eating GM crops for 20 years. That's a lot of people unharmed.
See, that's a pretty good message.
