What should you do if you suspect Farrar is using your teen?
Check under your teen's bed for John Key's "Enthusiastic for New Zealand" DVD.

David 'What does the P stand for' Farrar
Peter.
Darn, I was hoping a game would ensue.
Oh, like "David 'P or pure or crystal methamphetamine or crystal or meth or ice or tina or burn or crank or yaba and what you should do if you suspect your teen is using' Farrar"?

I thought the cultural relevance of the Open late cafe was good and properly diluted by 1995.
The other legendary Auckland late-night eatery, Brucies burgers, just recently closed. There's now something like a pawn shop in its space, bringing even more class to Victoria Street West.
Where will UB40 and Iron Maiden get their burgers now?

Amazing. Is this the peak of a trend that will unwind, or a permanent change? I don't know, but sometimes I think I'll stay in the renting classes forever.
Wait a decade or so - all the baby boomers with investment properties will start to sell them to free up the cash to live on in their retirement. But there'll be a glut of houses hitting the market, so prices will be low.
Well, that's one theory.

why does the price of Margerine rise along with the price of Butter?
Because margarine doesn't want to be seen as the "cheap" alternative to butter. It is an equal*.
* Oh, yuck, I hate margarine! -
Robyn, I actually do have a periodically drunk Uncle Gary. Is Gary the go-to name for uncles or something?
Um, well, it is in my world. A friend and I used to do this "Uncle Gary and his mail-order bride" thing, but the less said about that the better.

Where do you get police radio scanners from?
Dick Smith have a large selection, though they are quite pricey. Maybe Santa will bring you one?

Thanks, Scott. And, Sam, that news makes me very happy indeed!

Actually, some of it is just... a bit much. Are you familiar with the term 'squick'?
I believe squicking is the first internet porn concept I came across back when I first got online. alt.tasteless!

My family Christmas is always just Mum, Dad and my bro if he's in the country. I miss the bigger, rowdier Christmases of my childhood, but since my aunts and uncles became grandparents, the family tree has shifted. So sometimes, just to liven things up, I'd would tune in to my bro's police radio scanner (nerd!) and listen to all the domestic callouts. If I can't have a drunk Uncle Gary ruining Christmas, I can at least live vicariously through someone else's.
