  • Up Front: Public Address Medical…,

    Deborah puts so well
    "Your sangfroid in the face of looming disaster astounds and humbles me, Emma."
    Can't improve on that

    Speaking about the visual field test and that damed pressure thing (they fire an air blast into your eye that feels like a bullet) for some reason I feel a strong implulse to lie when questioned about the results
    Something about being in a dark room with someone questioning you but I strongly have to resist just giving the answer i think they want rather than the truth

    Best of luck Emma, wear your red coat with pride

  • Hard News: The Short and Long of It,

    I have long had the same problem with log in, apparently something to do with the history memory cache?
    These are just words and don't really mean anything to me but I do note that I don't have this problem on other sites
    I, as others have noted would like to see the author's name at the top
    I know who writes "Hard News" but some of the others slip my mind

    Other than that I love the way it all flows so well and the sense of community. There are only a couple of blogs I enjoy more

  • Quake,

    Just a very long gentle roll this far north, lasted more than a minute
    Geonet was my first call but was crashing because of load
    Knew somewhere they must have had a really big one
    Fortunatly NZ got off lightly
    Our old house is on a small fault line that runs parallel to the alpine fault and I pressume because of that quakes were proceeded by roar like a train coming through the middle of the house
    Wasn't there last night

  • Island Life: Adventures in English,

    You know you are getting old:
    When you first hear your parents words coming out of your mouth, usually directed at your children
    Or you start whinning about how language is starting to go down hill
    Or possibly the PM doesn't speak just like you

    Nothing wrong with being a full paid up member of the Pendant Society though!

    Don't you hate it when reporters say something is taken off someone when they mean from someone!

    And for your unasked question:

    "What would happen if Standard & Poors had dropped our rating ?"

    Take a look at Ireland who have been dropped from AA+ to AA-

  • Hard News: ffunnell Up!,

    Great show last night RB, very well done, one of the best I have seen

    One of the great things happening in our country at the moment are the "farmers" markets
    When we go to Dunedin on Saturdays we go an hour ealier just to see the crowds and buy at their market
    And now we have one on Sunday here! Loads of free range pork products but still a good range of healthy local stuff as well

  • Up Front: Are We There Yet?,

    I have to say but just what is the big deal about anybody getting married, as compared with just living together

    Just do it if that what you both want, it is nobody elses busines
