  • Hard News: My Mum and other good things,

    about sexual practices that would be sure to incur someone's wrath. It turned out that most of the on-the-table stuff wasn't going to do it.

    Next time try the on the table stuff while they're still eating breakfast and see if that helps get their wrath on.

  • Hard News: My Mum and other good things,

    Anyway, back to grandparents.

    Being half Dutch, people talking about Oma rapetee reminds me of how much fun it used to be to see about "Oma up a tree, Oma up a tree..."

    Oh, and continuing to show what a naughty child I was:

    at the time I was 15, so was mainly drinking in some of the more sedate clubs in Roppongi (Gas Panic and the like). Ah, a misspent youth.

    Snap. Except I was 14. And I wonder if Gas Panic changed its name after the sarin-on-subway attacks.

    a local crew in the Playground in 1887-88

    You know how when very very white grownups have to do raps at corporate retreats and stuff like that, and they put their hats on backwards because y'know, that's what rapper do? This typo is making me think of gloriously backwards Steampunk hats and doubled-up chains and "yo yo yo, I say, good sir!" type talking.

    I think when I come home to NZ

    We hear it's nice overseas and we think maybe you should stay there.

    Not proper bankrupt, "owned by Dave Henderson" bankrupt.

    Shame, they made a pretty good margarita (although that might have been the company I was with) and the bed was mighty comfy.

    So, here's one for all the Mums, be good to them

    Like Jaquie Brown! This'd better not stop a new series of the Jaquie Brown Diaries though, or there'll be trouble!

    And what will stop people using it instead of home internet to download petabytes of movies?

    Can't sysops put restrictions in place to stop peering? (Did I really just advocate for internet restraint? Crikey!)

    Ha, I was Peaseblossom in Dream! (This should in no way be taken to imply anything.)

    Uh oh, your daughter's going to grow up and have opinions!

  • Hard News: Upcoming!,

    Meanwhile, perhaps your comments could take up the theme of forthcoming events that may interest your fellow Public Address readers.

    Anticipation of Wellington on a Plate starting next week has me very very hungry. And, if you'll allow me some self horn tootage, at the Wellingtonista we're doing a ton of restaurant giveaways to celebrate it.

  • Up Front: After the Big Gay Revolution,

    TV3 news used the word 'escort' four times in one of their items on her. I counted. Are there any other occupations that become the identifier like that?

    You're either an escort/stripper or a teacher/nurse. If you're not at either end of the holy scale of morals, you're a woman, or as Giovanni says, you're a grandmother.
