  • Legal Beagle: He is Henry the Eighth, he…,

    I miss Sue and Nandor.

    Yes, agreed. Their leaving may well have been their foresight.

  • Busytown: The shakes,

    Really? Given current events, I'm not the only one who'd like to see the Bush who swiftly and firmly reminded people that that the 9/11 attacks were not perpetuated by "Islam". Where's he at?

    He is probably holding hands whilst ballroom dancing with the Saudis ;)

  • Southerly: Refugee Status,

    The rights & wrongs of the Martins aside, we just shouldn't know who they are.
    Civil Defence shouldn't have the media inside the centre.
    If they want to go out side to the footpath and have a chat in public space, good on them, but not inside a relief centre.
    It was an invasion of their privacy.

    That was my first thought when Bob Parker was hamming it up in front of people having to look their worst for the camera.Thought it pretty cruel to subject anyone homeless/refugee to the media spotlight.
    One further interview with Bob about civil Defence had a guy behind him doing actual Civil Defence work, rolling his eyes at the performance going on in front of him. At least that's what I understood.
    Another was,when Bob flexing his muscle again, Fire! can anyone tell me if we have water. I thought the firemen were sorting that out, but where would we be without Bob, Action man. Agent Orange!

  • Hard News: Blended!,

    (Said friends actually got what would make a fucking ace triptych, but unfortunately the panels are now split between three houses, never again to be reunited, and not nearly as nice as single pieces, IMO.)

    Later having seen they had 3, I assumed it was a triptych ( why would they have 3 otherwise) but must admit it followed with a tinge of sadness contemplating each whole piece's fate, remembering how powerful they looked on stage.
    Also agree with the beer thing. I would have enjoyed an Epic, and consequently would not have got so trashed on red wine sans food combo.Plus I suspect I was one guilty of a little chatter but so many people so little time. I couldn't hear up the back anyway as the bar was behind us and did a marvelous job of competing with Russell and Simon.. Thought it was quite muffled and too far back to hear Mr Grigg well but the photos were great.

  • Hard News: Little pieces of a big picture,

    in fact, nothing is permanant,

    All things are transitory. The only thing that doesn't change is change itself. We are merely stardust in transit. :)

    It's a hard life eh?

    I'm sure that's why the poms I know haven't gone back home. :)

    Nah, I'm just going to have to accept my fate of non-small/largetown/city dweller, and enjoy what goodies the sea sends -

    Yes NZ has all good lifestyles wherever one lays their head, and as you say, if you want something, we have n.o8 fence wire or fish or fruit or veg or that meat stuff that some people eat ;) 'tis all pretty good.(exept those fish'n'chips you mention, but you get the cheeses.
