Quite possibly the live highlight of the year, Lawrence Arabia, touring The Sparrow in July. St Michael's Church was the perfect setting for the Christchurch gig. Merry Christmas Russell and all contributors!

This is my fave Christmas carol – think it nicely sums up Christmas for those who like to spend it with family, biological or otherwise :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q

Merry Xmas my friends. However you spend your day today, I hope there is joy, and someone you love around you.

Thank you, Jackie! But what were you doing up at 4.55am?

Had food too late last night, woke up, didn't go back to sleep – being a middleaged woman sucks. Or maybe it's just me :)

Happy hols all. :-)
According to Te Harold we up north are grateful for the rain as it has been so dry up here, yeah right. Having been building for the last month or so I can tell you that the rain has been a bitch.
Anyhoo, we all had?

Russell Brown

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 14:00:09 +1300

In fact the rain helped a little.
Not many bones were broken but I imagine the re were sore bits this morning. :-)

I strongly approve of this mudslide.

It's fortunate I wasn't present, or I would probably have enthusiastically injured myself.

Steve Barnes

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:25:24 +1300

You enthusiastic kids.... :-)

I must add, apparently, that... Our friends daughter, who's identity, for employment relations reasons will remain a secret till my deathbed, had to drive back to Auckland for her job at a fast food restaurant, with a fractured wrist.
She is one tough cookie, well, four brothers and living in?

Actually, there are the Celtic tribes down South who may rebel sooner than the people of Parnell may consider appropriate.
;-)

We have. And we might just invade you all to get hold of that mudslide.

Hope every PAS person and their families have had fine, happy and full-piggery Christmases.

Steve Barnes

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:51:08 +1300

Yeah, I know, too many comas, in too many places.
Merry Jesus birthday to yo all.

Oh and another thing....

A link to my drop-box videos of the build.
Very Merry anat..
innit?

Hebe

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 22:16:41 +1300

What a huge project you are doing; I'm equal parts awestruck and envious. That is a serious plan, and the vids make it look so easy. How many metres are those sheets of long-run?

I'm quietly storing Christchurch demolition finds, mainly because I can't help myself; and it's criminal letting?

And our old friends at Matinee Idle are at it yet again.

Steve Barnes

Thu, 27 Dec 2012 10:31:44 +1300

Them thar sheets are 13 metres long. The highest point is over 7 metres and, yes, it is a big project but I am a big boy now. :-)

Ana Simkiss

Fri, 28 Dec 2012 22:57:08 +1300

I've switched from haaaating Matinee Idle to just loving it. Means summer... Merry belated Christmas to you all, perhaps we can share our Hogmanay plans next?

Geoff Lealand

Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:05:54 +1300

I've warmed to it a little but still wish they could have tried something different this summer. The bad music shtick has grown a little tiresome.

Ross Mason

YES Russ|

"In difficult times, it does make a difference when we can help each other out. And the benefit flows both ways."

Oh yes, I know what you mean. Lets see....I'll tell you what , if we all chip in to a "fund". I'll oversee it and while it?

Bloody great stuff on Music 101 yesterday, A Canadian radio series The Wire, on the history of music recording (with Bob Mould and Stockhausen!) and a wonderful concert by Elbow, Just the ticket for listening to the radio whist raking and re-sowing grass seed,

Ian Dalziel

the benefits arrive...
and life goes on,
and on, and on...

It cuts out the clipper in the middle.

hence the Greens' eqnz levy was so vehemently opposed

I love family. Xmas is a great time to enjoy the. But (timely blaspheme) Jesus Christ! Why am I surprised:

Fool metal jacket...
Why am I surprised:
The shills sure are busy in that comments section...
Though it does make ya wonder why der USHome Land Security, and others, are buying up hollow point ammunition...
and another source reports the same.
Perhaps they know that the times they are a?

And still on politics, I'm cranking up the satire machine again. Here's a rough draft copy, feel free to add suggestions.

When I saw "Government Share Offers" I thought you were selling shares in the government itself, not in SOEs. Reminded me of a cartoon in the Listener years ago about the government having been privatised...

DeepRed

It actually is the official name. Still, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

Merry Christmas, you all.

Belatedly, and you too Russell and to all engaged in Public Address. I've said it before but it entirely justifies repeating; this is a wonderful community and an invaluable link to my T?rangawaewae.
