    my P type was conflicting with your J

    conflict resolution...
    it's better with a J than with a P pipe
    to steal a lick from the Pure Prairie League...

    yeehah!

  • Up Front: Your Whining Is Important to Us,

    I have a glass desk and have an unnatural fear of slipping off my chair and smashing my teeth on the edge of said desk.
    I believe this may have something to do with elevated levels of Mono Amine Oxidase, something that adventurous types lack

    Does this make you (in precis) Chairman MAO?
    I would be worried about that Great Leap Forward then...

  • Hard News: Still crazy after all these years,

    We seem to have a lot of kids who fall through the cracks and our safety nets fail them.

    and this sort of thing really helps...

    Christchurch's free youth health drop-in centre will close next month amid fears some of the city's most vulnerable young people will fall outside the system.
    The 198 Youth Health Centre provides free doctors, nurses and counsellors for under-25s. Declining Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) funding meant the centre could no longer operate.

    I asked Brendon Burns on Saturday (at a market where Labour has a regular stand) what they are going to do about this, and funding for Floyd's, He said that they are hopeful of a solution for Floyd's and that him, Ruth Dyson and even National's Nicky Wagner are working urgently to try and prevent 198 closing - here's hoping... this Government (and CDHB & Council) seems hellbent on dismantling the very basics of community care...
    ... and are maintaining a social course closely resembling stupidity!
    (to paraphrase a slogan known from La Paz to Wanganui - back before it had an 'h'...)

    Seeing as the book in question was all about social networking (in Oldspeak: using other people) for personal gain, I think your interpretation is optimistic.

    Oh, I thought you said it was a Self Help book
    not a Help Yourself book... ;- )
    still that's me, optimistic and idealistically naive...
    Like I think sales and advertising is about only
    selling something good and useful and
    being honest about it...

    VIP travel seems to be more customer focused

    So I'm guessing then that VIP is
    Violence in Person much posher
    sounding than Fight Centre indeed ;- )

    all right that's enough Chuck P chuckles
    (or numbchuckles for the nunchaku set)
    I'm sure Dinah will be happy to see this
    become a receding airline joke :- )

    Years ago when I applied for a job at the Fight Centre

    do their prices take a beating?

    "In one way or another, we are all involved in sales or customer service."

    Isn't that just another way of saying - Quality Control is a team effort - be it product or societal, we all have to play our part in the best outcome for all involved - or as I constantly harp on: do unto others as you'd have them do unto you, something I'm still not the greatest at - but improving :- )

    The internet won't fail though? It was designed to withstand nuclear war, so surely earthquakes and supervolcanoes wouldn't break it.

    But will the surviving alpha species - cockroaches - be able to operate the computers (and generate the power)?

    I anticipate we'll end actually end up with this bunch of pathetic Lame-o's

    Maybe Auckland will get that noted Avenger Yellowjacket he started off as Antman and ended up as the Wasp - don't be deceived by other yellow jacketed impersonators (even if they are a WASP).
