  • Speaker: Sharks Dine Out on…, in reply to giovanni tiso,

    I hadn’t understood what the problem was with the government’s offer.

    Ah! A Model Citizen. Sorry dont take it personally. I just wanted to add to my channelling of Dirty Harry to highlight cracks, nee fissures that appear in the fabric of society.
    If it was your house would you just shrug and say ‘Oh I could fit 2 or maybe 3000 people down there’. NO. You would be onto the builder ringing Fair Go raising merry hell.
    But when it comes to US (the domesticated ape/ the bipedal hominid) all manner of slipshod calculating is allowed. A heartless playing of the margins and there’s someone else’s life screwed until they die. Why? How on earth are these people allowed to get away with it? The people of CHCH did nothing wrong. Yet others are just allowed to profit from their misery and misfortune. And its deemed acceptable – and there goes some more people slipping through the cracks in this arse-aholic circus.
    Yet the event, an earthquake, is such an opportunity to really look closely at one city in this country, and put to work all that has been learned since it was built all those decades ago. To try to look to the future in a really practical and pragmatic way.
    But NO, They’re drowned in BS written out in the small print.

  • Up Front: P.A. Story, in reply to Bart Janssen,

    Are you suggesting it was a simple typo?

    Well there we were transfixed by the awesome funkness of a pre-white Michael Jackson. The next song kicked in and up a gear Ulrich was deadset certain the lyric mentioned heads. But I think he …wanted to be starting something ....damn Stenson!
    I remain convinced to this very moment I was up off the floor, funking in gold.

  • Speaker: Sharks Dine Out on…, in reply to S Schumacher,

    you will receive a payout for roughly that amount. Yes, I said roughly; I’m under no illusion that the system is perfect.

    Just in your mind, as you typed that, a few things fell through an acceptable crack.
    Now you have to ask yourself "Were they human?"
    Well, were they?

  • Speaker: John and Phil meet Bob,

    Key on God: “I wouldn’t describe myself as atheistic

    Goff’s response was similar: “I`m not an atheist.

    Funny how they both got the A -word in, just so they could say they weren't it.
    Very cunning........ don't frighten the horses,
    Deeply profound or incisive thinkers on this important subject they are not.
