Frankly, I'm completely lost - I've read back a couple of pages, and I honestly can't get straight who's responding to whose response to what. Possibly an indication that things are getting too personal?

I probably should have included a link, shouldn't I?
Here we go...

Hard News: The Public Address Word of…, in reply to HORansome,
Re: Pike River Conspiracies, this from a comment at Ian Wishart's site:
There indeed is a cover up.I believe that a certain technological artifact has been discovered, and the resulting death toll was to silence any potential witnesses.The time delay by the government is to ensure that a retrieval team is removing any evidence and making it appear as an accident.
I'm honestly not sure if they're taking the piss or not.

At the moment, I prefer St Lukes over Sylvia Park (I'm in Onehunga, and probably actually closer to Sylvia Park) because Sylvia Park is just too damn big - walking from one end to the other feels way too much like exercise.
St. Lukes became noticably less crowded when the Sylvia Park and Albany megamalls opened - I guess if it gets bigger, everywhere is going to be equally crap.

It's good to know that the Culture Warriors of the US have identified the real problem with the country: bears.
Truly beyond parody.
And yet, wasn't that in an episode of the Simpsons years ago? (Not going to hunt it down on YouTube while at work...)

Aaron Spiller has become the most interesting character--a drongo with real heart.
Possibly the most likeable, too - when everyone else is acting out of pride or spite or self-interest, he always just does what he thinks is right. Of course, "what he thinks is right" is often something bloody stupid...
[Edit: Likeable? Maybe "genuine" is a better word.]

(The idea of stopping talking doesn't seem to have occured to Jeremy)
If that doesn't meet the definition of "silencing and patronising" (a tone Jeremy was accused of just one page ago) I don't know what does.

When we got Civil Unionerised, my wife* and I kept our respective surnames, but our son has my surname, because A) we both like the sound of it better and B) her brother will doubtless carry on her family name when he sprogs up.
* Yeah, I just use "wife", on the grounds that I'm too lazy and unimaginative to think up and advocate an alternative.

My favourite would have to be Fur Patrol's:
You are the best thing that's happened to me
Since I fell on my face on Tuesday -
all three Die Hard movies (yes, I said three)
Damn straight - Die Hard 2 is a piece of crap.
