  • Busytown: The shakes,

    I have to say, Sofie, that if there were a civil emergency here, I would so be walking up the road to your place.

    You would be most welcome too. If it was an earthquake, we would have a pre warning from Stella. She tells us when thunder is due very early into any bad weather. Last night, she was not a happy dog. Very frantic about venturing outside and I queried her behaviour because her bone was calling and she was prepared to forfeit. We suspected all was not well out there. Happily we also collect rainwater as we are on tank gas, so do always have 250L if the need arises.Also we got a 5.3kva (pure sinewave) generator so we would manage

    Fire in the central city now... and no water.

  • Busytown: The shakes,

    crapping into a system that now leaks???

    Well, first, don't do it. Those with a garden, go and dig a small hole (a spade is a perfect measure for length width, depth). crap in that by squatting (Kids know how to squat if you don't, ask them) then use leaves to cover to help decompose matter.and try to wee elsewhere if in the garden or go in a bucket if there is no outdoors but still try wees in a separate container. An outdoor toilet like this will last years. Transfer from bucket to bigger bin outside. It will break down and become great compost at a later time.
    And then mixed with a bit of potting mix it will grow tomatoes straight from the container.

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    'm constantly outraged that shock ads for road safety, ACC etc. don't come with a warning, and a loud one at that.

    So what do ya think of the drug driving campaign? Makes the drugs look less harmful than alcohol. So, good or bad? I am soo confused. Stressed, grab a cigarette, no don't, you don't smoke tobacco, reaches for the cup cake, OMG! I'm gonna get fat, you just had breakfast and that was a coffee with all that milk. but milk ain't fattening is it?, I'll just do the laundry, but dirt is good , I'll go for a walk, but the country is falling apart, Christchurch started this morning, I'll go for a drive, but they're closing the motorway, maybe I'll crawl back into bed, aw shucks fucking bed bugs.

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    Moderation I think is the word. Moderation.

    There you go, leave well be ffs! Making everything/else smokefree is not moderate or reasonable in a society of equals.Educate those who don't know, but dictatorship don't feel democratic to me unless you get all the smokers in agreement.

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    Second-hand smoke is not really the issue for me; it is the pong of smoke-saturated clothing or furnishings.

    Now Geoff, please to inform me but, don't you, your attire and your furnishings ever wash? I mean once you get home after that social eventful night before.

    Indeed, I prefer the aroma of a well-placed fart as the smell dissipates much more quickly.

    You may think so, or are you just moving away from yours in the room? ;)

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    , and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature.

    That I think indicates that, however often the word is mentioned, the drug use is habitual.

    Only on page 1, bit slow I know, but "drowsiness of the drug"? Don't think so. Lack of the drug perhaps. Fraction too much fiction methinks. Which does suggest that Absinthe could be a drink used in replacement of drugs.

  • Hard News: The Suicide Question,

    We'll also be looking at smoking on screen in the wake of the US Centre for Disease Control's call for an R rating on any movies that depict tobacco use. Prudent public health policy or social engineering?

    Can I just say, after watching Media 7 last night that Prudence woman made me want to pick up a cigarette and start smoking let alone care what happened to her children through the "teleportal" TV. To suggest that ratings are a great way to get the kids out of the room, is a poor excuse to wish censorship. She certainly had issues,just not sure when they progressed to include smoking.

  • Cracker: Sintax,

    Or ... Joe doing a whole other Chris Knox song. Let me think about that ...

    Amputee Song

    We lie here in our holes
    We cannot tell you why
    We go from day to day
    We cannot even die
    There but for the grace of god
    Go I, you point and say
    We don't exist... ....

    Chris Knox Lyrics
