  • Hard News: The March for Democracy,

    "Spoil the rod, Spare the child" seems more fitting.

    The "911 was an inside job" sign gave me pause to think:

    You'se guys in Orkland had a good time checking out the march. Was it something in the weekend's air that attracted nutters into the streets..... and museums.

    Kim Hill gave better than she got on saturday to the 911 freak.
    Then on sat afternoon there was a free talk by the same kook that attracted a sellout crowd down here. Overflowing into the cafe floor as well.

    I think those who would've gone marching probably went to the talk???

  • Hard News: The March for Democracy,

    Have just checked "The Website":

    We also demand that the wishes of citizens expressed in poor referendums by a clear majority be honoured

    Its fascinating. This is what I "read" when I first got through the Marchers Statements.

    I think I will stick to what I thought it said.

    Umm...apostrophe anyone?

    Re Ry Cooder Nick Lowe concert Wellytown.

    Good show. Yes I saw the earplugs and stole a handfull (I am a shooter!). I too thought the lead in act was loud. My test was "can I hear the lyrics?" well, no I couldn't but when I stuffed my fingers in my ears I could. The distortion was undeniable but it was scary to figure out was it my ears that were distorting or the speakers.

    When the Cooder came on he actually gave a compliment to the sound and obviously the volume appreared to get lowered for the second half. I could hear the lyrics.

    But for a masterpiece of a concert hall and all the design features that (allegedly) ensure every seat in the place gets a quality sound, I find it incomprehensible that the sound engineer felt the need to wind the knob up so much.

    Frankly, I could not believe that there were boxes of earplugs outside the door. For $120 a ticket I think I want to hear the concert, not dull the response by stuffing the ears.

    I have a wife who wears hearing aids and it was a pain - literally - for her. They turned off automatically because of the sound level and consequently had to endure the performance somewhat quieter and certainly without the frequency response the aids supplied.

  • Southerly: A World First of the Second Kind,

    Page 37....yes....I have to admit that I was still holding my breath after reading that all the up tp page 50. After that I reached such a deep coma that it hasn't come back to my memory banks until you mentioned it! Bastard!

    Now I am thinking about poor Mr Done...and all those netballers musky satin knickers again!!!

    I am STILL looking for the continuation of the piece at the bottom of page 82...confusing...

    There are some errors in the crossword David BTW. Check with your editor. I am shocked that he/she let such a puzzle through. Please put "clues across" FIRST next time. Doubly confused

    My Mum didn't like the swear words. She said they were unbecoming of such an important person like Mr Bollocks.
