  • Hard News: Madness in Mt Albert,

    Though the smut could have pushed you over the top anyway. Albert was a fine man.

  • Island Life: Q+A. Fill in the blanks.,

    But if your economy is heavily biased toward one particular form of industry you're in deep trouble if something strikes that industry.

    Conversely you do quite well if that doesn't happen. I wouldn't turn away the next Microsoft springing up here just because of the risk of our economy taking a bit hit if they have a bad year.

  • Hard News: The Social Retail,

    So, ha ha. I was describing this very blog post in the supermarket tonight (produce section), and happened at that very moment to see my go-to wine guy buying mushrooms.

    The Dunedinistas have put James on a contract to bring PAS to the people not privileged enough to have internet access.

    No thanks necessary Russell.

  • Hard News: The Sunday Capers,

    I wouldn't be at all surprised, for example, if it turned out that his children had never slept in the parental bed because it was too dangerous for his own sproggen.

    I suspect the reason might be more that I can't imagine anyone would ever want to sleep with Lhaws.

    "each ratepayer will pay at least $550 in restructuring costs for the Super City"

    You could almost get a new stadium for that!

    Does Albert get tired of being mounted?

    Oh come on. Some of us have limits and that's too low.

    I've never heard of a software/pharma company downgrading earnings forecasts because there wasn't enough rain in the quarter, or whatever.

    Electronic Arts reported a one billion dollar loss over the last year though. Everyone has ways to lose money.

  • Hard News: The Social Retail,

    Some ideas on how to deal with the on-going feijoa glut would be welcome--but not chutney, as we still have chutney from 3 years back!

    Send them to me. They're freakin' expensive and don't grow well down here.

    (apparently they can be frozen as pulp if you're going to be greedy and keep to self)

  • Southerly: At the RWMC with Alan Bollard,

    Aussies only introduced the hundred dollar note in 1984. This story allegedly happened in 1974, if Bollard was 23 at the time.

    Wow. That was really geeky.
