  • "The Terrorism Files",

    oops probably shouldn't have posted that, where is the delete button when you need it

    S'alright. I deleted it for you. Funny though.

  • Speaker: Singing g against the E chord,

    In my occasional bogan moments I crank up Shihad's "fish" album.

    I was in a particularly dark space in my UK exile and Home Again evokes all the panic of the failing long-distance relationship for me.

    Oh noes!

    To me, it says "doing the dishes with Shihad on so loud no one can hear me singing along".

    Well, that and the crowd going wild at the BDO ...

  • Speaker: Singing g against the E chord,

    Taupo called BitterFM (88.7). I heard sour queen on it the other day while driving and had to pull over to listen to it. I think it's the first time i've ever heard it on the radio! Made my day. :)

    You heard 'Sour' on Bitter. That's funny.

  • PA Radio: Building for the Big Day Out,

    The Big Day Out's New Zealand promoter, Campbell Smith, talks about how the show is put together, 2008's roster of acts, and why it's not really a party for him.

  • PA Radio: Bomber speaks,

    Where are the bombs & AK47s you and Bomber are promoting?

    No- You are talking about AK47s and you know they do not exist.

    I do not know that, and neither do you. I wish I could explain further. But Kemara's Trade Me purchase list, which is a matter of record, includes magazines for AK47s if that helps.

  • "The Terrorism Files",

    Could I just ask people who have found the document not to explicitly divulge its contents? There are laws against that that I'd rather not completely flout as a publisher.

  • Island Life: The doctor will see you now,

    Such choices. Albondegas - a form of spanish meatball; daube of canard; choux farci; duck breasts as big as you'll find on your turkey this christmas; pure duck sausages; 99 ways to eat a canard.

    But how was the coffee?

  • "The Terrorism Files",

    Do you know if this the same document that the Dom used? Or did they have a different version?

    There is apparently one page missing. About Lockett ...

  • Cracker: Chaghcharan: Three Little Pigs,

    Damian, this is a great piece of work. You're really good at this stuff.

    And if you don't mind, I will be picturing you as clad in a safari suit. It just works.

  • "The Terrorism Files",

    I'm with Sara regarding the power of symbols here. Calling alleged nasty criminals terrorists ...

    But what say they're calling themselves terrorists? And explicitly discussing and acting on models for contemporary terrorism?

    There's an "insider/outsider" element to the evidence, that itself has become divisive and which also breeds suspicion. Most of us have no idea whether what we're hearing is solid evidence of serious intent or stupid bluster. What we can clearly see is how it's been dealt with, so we're commenting on that.

    The document that's online has clearly been leaked by someone on the defence side. I wish I could post the link, but I don't really want a nastygram from the Solictor General.

    In context, some of the headline quotes published by the Dom Post do read to me like bluster, and I can see how it didn't reach the high threshold for TSA charges. But there's a lot there that strikes me as completely indefensible.
