  • Hard News: Where nature may win,

    And when you move something around in parts by helicopter location is definitely a problem.

    I doubt if they are moving the drill rig around by helicopter. They probably have old roads from the exploration phase of this mine which they use. And the tops of ridge lines are usually where it is easiest to put roads in.
    Im just surprised they have a drill rig around at all. Cause usually they do the exploration and by the time the mine is in production, drill rigs are onto the next exploration site.

    We are talking basic 21st century engineering that the company should have stumped up for long before they began excavation.

    Looking at the site I bet the company is pissed it had to go underground. They would have been cursing every conservationist and their children. You can guess what option they prefer. Just sayin' as they say.

    And yet drilling another hole through rock is OK?

    It is when ones uses that well known lubricant and anti combustion agent. It also keeps the dust down.

  • Hard News: The Engagement,

    And if not, hadn’t you better be booking that desert island?

    I prefer tropical myself. But I bet all of those are already tentatively booked for the honeymoon, just to keep the meh-dia guessing.
    But I do know of a deserted island. I shall start planning how to get there.

    Are you my conscience?

    If that position is vacant I guess I could fill it.

    It should be the Eleventh Commandment.

    Perhaps it was...

    They probably had to tie the boys arms to the bedposts.

    suicidal fush eh!

    stressed or depressed. Does the flesh taste different, as its said it does with animals at slaughter.
    Perhaps we should ask the fusherman?

  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    Sorry I wasn't trying to negate your point. To get things done we have to organise and we all cant be "chiefs".
    And the polarising boss/worker rhetoric that someone (i cant remember who, sorry didnt care enough to find out) bought to the fiasco that was Te hobbit. Well for me showed the divisions deepening in NZ society.
    As an observer I was just saddened.
