  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    Harking back to waaaaaay up thread - thanks for the invitations to Blenheim and Warkworth, but I think I'll have to stay in Mt Albert. I've never had the opportunity to lie down in front of a bulldozer before...

  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    As a Mt Albert resident, and a long term despiser of Rankin and the groups she's connected to, the last 24 hours have transformed my general dislike of this government into something much stronger.

    Time for a breakaway People's Republic of Mt Albert, perhaps...

  • Hard News: Modern Lolz,

    In the good old days, silver bullets killed vampires; right?

    Nope. You're thinking of werewolves and other sundry lycanthropes.

  • Hard News: When that awful thing happens,

    To be fair, there was a clip from Friday's Campbell Live that seemed to show firing from the vicinity of the LAV that approached the house, as the vehicle itself came under heavy fire.

    As I'm no longer the military hardware nerd I was when I was 11, someone else can answer this hopefully. Do the LAVs have launchers for tear gas etc? Could that be what was visible?

  • Hard News: Going Underground,

    The lesson I took from it was to avoid Mercedes sedans. Oh, and Paris.

    I learned to never, no matter what, divorce the Prince of Wales.

    Also, charming "entertainments" at the same site..."

    Wow. That does more to show where they stand than the sum of their Press Releases, Centre Digests and Columns combined.

  • Hard News: The Sunday Capers,

    That was actually not-publicity-shy Cameron Brewer of the Newmarket Business Association. He'd probably agree to being interviewed naked if it got him on the telly.

    Actually, Kerry is referring to the guy from Working Style. So, yes, TV3 interviewed TWO people, on location, about Tony Ryall's dress sense. And it was part of the 6pm bulletin.

    Guess swine flu is over, huh?

  • Hard News: Dear Prudence,

    I think Drinnan's a little bit in love with you.

    And maybe a little bit jealous that you have an audience that a) cares about your opinion and b) engages in conversation about it.

  • Up Front: Boning Up,

    It even made me leave off the "I". I've lost myself, clearly...

  • Up Front: Boning Up,

    'd like to contribute something insightful, but my brain went a bit wobbly when I saw that steampunk corset. Sorry.
