  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    I suppose Hide might be thinking nostalgically of his truck-driving days when the world were a simpler place.

  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    I'd say it's who rather than where. Seems an unsubtle class insult to me - that you can expect men who sweat to behave like thugs, unlike the delightfully white o collar.

  • Up Front: A Kink in the Pants,

    I have no difficulty with people asking the question

    Excellent! To me, Comesky is morally culpable for choosing to discuss that line of defence with the media after the trial. No one's forcing him to peddle harmful gender stereotypes outside the "trial environment", although media always seem keen on conveying salacious tattle regardless of context or truth.

    Self-regard seems a plausible motivator for not simply sticking with "no comment" especially when Comesky mentions a possible appeal in the interview linked above. The contrast with his reluctance to "speculate" about police conduct is revealing.

  • Up Front: NSFW,

    I might use 'nude'

    Sounds a bit arthouse.

  • Up Front: NSFW,

    The word y'all were looking for is "nude"

    I find naked sexier.

  • Island Life: I am curious. Yellow?,

    I don't want to bad-mouth him too much

    Haven't met the man either, and I'd suggest that one person can seldom do much damage on their own - has to have the buy-in (or at least lack of resistance) from other senior managers and Councillors. Maybe the inside of those sheds does feel way cooler than the outside looks?

  • Speaker: A Very Simple Stroke,

    I reckon there are short term and longer term approaches that can work together well without much fuss. It's a great idea and I'd be delighted to help if needed. I am confident that Russell will be hatching good plans over the weekend (and he has my contact details).

  • Hard News: What to Do?,

    And yet it fits rather easily. :)

    Because the city council wants the cruise ships to come to their city.

    As opposed to all those other New Zealand cities with liner terminals, you mean?

  • Island Life: I am curious. Yellow?,

    Yep, I can see how putting some expensive paving around that eyesore is going to make it magic.
