  • Hard News: Food and drink,

    agreed, it's like trying to solve the problem by treating the symptoms.

  • Hard News: On the Box,

    Only reason I watched all three.

  • Island Life: The Guilt of Clayton Weatherston,

    Strange that they were waiting for a Taser and a qualified operator when it went down. I was under the misguided impression that...I don't know... just point and shoot, point and shoot.

  • Hard News: On the Box,

    and Liv Tyler's rack?

    what an ordeal for you Craig..
    Coraline sounds like a nicely woven drug metaphor, will look out for it.

    Am I alone?

    Certainly not. Also, perhaps not quite the big movie spectacular but I'd love to see Whale Rider in 3D.

  • Field Theory: So who ya got?,

    Well, not the whole thing, just the loss of momentum, the poor pass and then the recovery and subsequent pass to McCaw. But yeah...Otherwise I felt pretty optimistic by our performance I was expecting much much worse, that second half comeback showed potential. What's Offlode saying about the next match?

  • Hard News: On the Box,

    Wicked links, I've been hanging out for District 9 (almost as _ as Avatar) and hadn't previously been able to find Alive in Joburg, [downloading now].

    You can't pirate bums-on-seats entertainment.

    Vast untapped markets waiting to be milked. I often wonder what exactly motivates some of those execs.

  • Island Life: The Guilt of Clayton Weatherston,

    could Nigel Latta -- who has precisely NO clinical relationship with Weatherston -- please sit down, and take a long pull on his fuckupachino.

    A couple of quotes from the Sainsbury interview that stuck...

    “…he was Mr Average, he was Mr Bland, He was thirty something years old and a tutor, I was a tutor when I was doing third year papers, you know.”

    “…how many white middleclass academics walk around with a carving knife in their bag?”

    N.Latta

    How many academics indeed.

    Not trying to make light of the situation or anything, but "pink-eyed, posturing pervert" is damn fine alliteration - and apposite.

    Seems to me Sacha, you sent us over to the sports thread just so you'd have the space to perfect your John Keating.

  • Hard News: The Short and Long of It,

    *beat 239 (best score for a single play, which title Mary holds;)
    *get more than twelve 7s in one game,
    and
    *go out using the Kate manouvre - my youngest sister does this with hideous regularity (you go out with a 7 on your last possible turn, leaving your moaning opponents counting up the Zs & s...)

    That's some unholy chops your family has got going on there Islander.

  • Up Front: Public Address Medical…,

    I'm really glad it's not life threatening Emma, in the last two weeks I've had one friend diagnosed with skin cancer and another with MS, when I started reading this I thought "here we go again.."

    Your superpowers of humour are clearly unaffected.

    Set against the pathos, it's hilarious reading. Sorry if that's not quite what you were going for ; )
