  • Hard News: Hot Media,

    I guess that's what happens with lifestyle mags. If you want incisive political comment, read Metro.

    Ahahhaa. Mmmm, that's good satire!

  • Hard News: Hot Media,

    Robyn: your comment is A+++ excellent. Not everything on the internet is written for you.

    Paul:

    the feature about the woman who, when she is not having sex with strangers, works in PR.

    Many would say that those two things are metaphorically exactly the same.

    Tom: "Sunday": heh.

  • Hard News: All the cool kids were there,

    1993 for sure. Probably a couple of other years.

    I saw them play at Vic Uni Orientation in 1997 with Superette and Fur Patrol - definitely one of my top 15 gigs of all time.

  • Cracker: Slipping into Darkness,

    Nah. They just have lower standards.

    That's for damn sure. That's why we can write posts about wanting to sleep with Damian Christie and even our closest friends can't tell if we're kidding or not.

  • Southerly: Spewing Their Usual Election…,

    Didn't they throw all their afghans into the ocean or something?

    That's how Johnny thought he'd get an invitation to Georgie's Tea Party, not realising it finished a couple hundred years ago...

  • Hard News: Moments,

    Another of our neighbours was with her, and they'd come to ask advice "because you're in that TV ad".

    What's the word for "that would be heartwarming if it wasn't so heartbreaking"?

    I'm glad some "celebrities" can give advice. I think if I ever meet Stephen Flemming maybe I will collar him and ask him if I need to change my deodorant, and if I can install a DVS system as a renter. He'll have the answers, right?

  • Island Life: Rage against the machines,

    think the kiln won't work - it's a little known fact that hard drives are one of the few things that survive household fires.

    I'm no fireman, but do most household fires reach 1200 degrees?

  • Island Life: Rage against the machines,

    So I recommend you go with the low-tech "Throw it off a building" approach of Ice TV in the olden days, before they got a bigger budget and started blowing things up.

    Oh, could that be an option? Put them in a container with lots of mentos and diet coke? Vinegar and baking soda? Dry ice?

  • Island Life: Rage against the machines,

    I could hook you up with access to a kiln, except that I don't think I like the idea of whatever is inside the server parts being incinerated and then cooked into servingware later. Also I suspect my mother would be even more reticent, given how unwilling she is to help with thereoretical body disposal.

  • Hard News: Buy now: spend the recession inside!,

    When exactly was the last time Mr Ralston did primary research anyway

    Well someone has to review Prego, don't they?

    Okay so I can see why people might think that the blogosphere was catty and snide and didn't focus on the big issues....
