I don't have much serious to add to the discussion, so...
A British cop, an American cop and a Chinese cop are sitting around a table drinking tea and swapping 'war stories'. A report comes in of a bear in the forest. The British cop says, "Leave it to me", and walks off. 10 minutes later he comes back and says, "I couldn't find the bear, but I shot a Brazilian electrician." The American cop says, "I'll get that bear", and walks off. 10 minutes later he comes back and says, "I couldn't find the bear, but I saw a black guy walking away and shot him 29 times in the back". The Chinese cop says, "I'll take care of this", and walks off. 2 minutes later there's an almighty hullabaloo in the forest, then the Chinese cop comes back holding a rabbit by the ears. The rabbit has his front paws up and is crying, "Alright! Alright! I'm a bear! I'm a bear!"
That's my boss' favourite joke. I wonder how you could work a Kiwi cop into that...

Especially if they are pellet burners- those things only work while the electricity is going-
There's a lot of good to be said for old tech. Sometimes old tech means best tech.

“Yep, bag’s empty, all the groceries are put away.”
Cloth bag, in case anybody’s worried about what I let my daughter play with.
I’m also being kept an eye on.

"Hey, Daddy, let me check you got all the groceries out!"

I dunno, I liked how the early evening light struck the leaves and blossoms. Mr Nokia seems to have cooperated.

On the subject of lychees.... It says lychee beer, but it's not alcoholic, and it actually turned out to be a pleasant surprise (i.e. previous accidental experience of 'fruit beers' in Beijing was of the "don't ever make that mistake again variety).
Now, must get on with trying to make hot cross buns with ingredients that maybe aren't quite exactly what the recipe says, but are hopefully close enough...

Wow, those shots between the silos are amazingly eye-bending.

Hard News: Belief Media, in reply to Scott Chris,
hmmm.... I think you learned me a new word, and one that may have been closer to the meaning I wanted than the one I used. Thank you.

Hard News: Belief Media, in reply to Lilith __,
This is one of many reasons why I’m inclined to agree with Bob Marley, or at least one of the Wailers: I’m sick and tired of the ism-schism game.
And no, for the record, I’m not a Rasta. Just saying that it would be nice if we could drop all the -isms (edit: on a quick break from preparing stuff for my students I make a spelling mistake. Gah.) and just be us.

Yeah, true, and sorry for the earworm, but that's really the best I could think of. Now back to trying to get some work done...
