Hard News: Friday Fun with Brickface, in reply to giovanni tiso,
And what time do you call this, young man?
I’m going to take it as a sign that it went well, fun was had.
It did and it was.
It was the suburban debrief with Blair and Andrew Moore that went on until the wee small hours.

Blair is a good, good man and a real artist. I look forward to working with him again.

Hard News: An open thread while I'm down…, in reply to Jackie Clark,
After that, my memory fades, and I don't remember what happened but I do remember it was a dreadful time in NZ's history. Where relationships were destroyed, where any conversation boiled down to one thing. Were you for, or against?
And everyone but John Key can remember the answer.

Muse: NZIFF Rant: A Diva's Place Is On…, in reply to Emma Hart,
I am terrified of an unreactive audience. Especially as I am on early enough that people may not have drunk enough enthusiasm yet.
I'm seeing myself as your warm-up act.

If you have read this far thanks for taking the time, apologies if you are bored shitless, and all the best we all need it.
At its best, this place is about people telling their experience. Your comment just there was one of those times. Thanks.

It gets up my goat that others pick up our great ideas and we then dump on the shakers and movers and then totally ignore it. And nail it’s death by removing funding.
What I struggle to get past is the great and apparently sincere speech that BIll English gave at the launch of David Cohen's book about his autistic son, back when English was in Opposition. In government: not so much.

a bit of editorialising, surely?
Oh yes. But interestingly, both the Herald and Stuff managed to quite independently get the words "sex romp" into their headlines.

Hard News: Vanilla Buffalo Yoghurt, in reply to Tim Welch,
but Russell needs to get a load more flexible before he can get to that.
And at my age, that ain't gonna happen. My cervical vertebrae just won't handle me having my head up like that. I've had trouble with that part of my spine before and I'm not keen to repeat it.

Meanwhile, a New Zealand woman has had her hand reattached by a surgeon in Split. You couldn't make this shit up, I swear.
Indeed. I thought, well yeah, but ... until I clicked through to discover that she'd all but severed her hand when a basin broke during a "sex romp" on a yacht. Crikey.

Oh well, that’s one thing settled: I can’t ride a bike without flat bars. Tim at Rode kindly let me ride off to me meeting on a Cannondale road bike and while I loved it being light and quick, I really can’t do the posture. My neck is still hurting.
There are still options for me to do longer rides, but they’ll be saving-up options. I must say, my GT felt very comfortable when i jumped back on.
