    Would it throw your universe out of whack to hear that I was listening to Yes while I was reading that?

    You did your best to get 'Deborah Hill Cone' and 'spanking' into the same sentence didn't you?

    Thank you Sir! may I have another?

  • Island Life: Symptoms persist,

    The snobby genteel one in the high street? Or the new grungy, sleazy one by the supermarket that I keep thinking is the $2 shop?

    I have yet to try the new one...

    Please refer to Island Life edition 42.

    What does Deborah Hill-Cone think of the Lake Road cycle lanes?

    I shall make it my business to find out. She turned out to be quite the tree-hugger recently, so you never know.

  • Island Life: Effective Immediately,

    I, too thought Goldstein might be an Orwellian reference...

    John, Ian, no. I was slumming it. It seemed apt.

  • OnPoint: Let it die. Please.,

    Well, David, if you really want to go there who's paying your bills nowadays?

    Don't mind in the least.
    About 95% from Americans, Australians, Brits and a few from places like Mexico. Approximately 2% from govt departments, state-owned media and NZ on Air, and none from any political party or the Beehive since the mid 1990s.

    the relationship between Farrar and the National Party comms machine

    It's entirely his choice whether he declares it or not, but I think people might be interested to know all the same: How much of Curia's revenue comes from National Party work?

  • Island Life: Dairy dairy me.,

    Goodness - that would have been the Sunshine Dairy?

    Yes! I had entirely forgotten the name. There was also a dairy further along Karori Road towards the cemetery end that was dying even before the end of the monopoly came along. The family that ran it got too far behind with their suppliers and the shelves just gradually emptied as they ran out of credit. All the same, on they went for what seemed like months. It was sad to watch.
