Parkes and Recreation…
Blair Parkes ... Not forgetting the musical heritage he’s given us…
ahem … and is giving us still (in many genres and mediums):
Range – Beach Colours
Saturations – Kittens
(turn up the volume and kick back the furniture)Saturations – Run Away
Saturations – Superphased
and lest we forget his ‘barleycorn project’ with Dr David Haywood (read here) –– Bridle Path (download here) a suite of songs swapped for several slabs of the sponsor’s product, beer with me, heck, Kim Hill played a song last Saturday – that shameless Dr Haywood milking these talk shows for publicity…

Hard News: Haphazardly to war, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
...a monitoring dish in the middle of Australia.
That reinforces my 'geographically useful idiots/allies theory, though...
It's a Rum Jungle there indeed...

Hard News: Haphazardly to war, in reply to Alfie,
Uncle Gerry always knows best
That's right - he invaded an airport security corridor and lied and obfuscated every step of the way...
The 'sanitising' of soldier deaths will just end up like Pat Tillman's Afghanistan 'friendly fire' death case in the US...
apparently 'we the people' cannot cope with the truth - and must never be told anything approximating it! -
Hard News: Haphazardly to war, in reply to mark taslov,
I only have 'eyes' for U...
question is how do we extricate ourselves from this club
Bearing in mind that we are only Five Eyes 'members' due to our country's fortuitous planetary placement - 'our' antennae and dishes can monitor southern geostationary satellites and other hard to intercept orbits and transmissions - ditto for Pine Gap (and 2 other bases) in Australia...

Our Mad Hatter…
embarasing to have a Primeminister who partronised the Iraqi people by making grand statements about sending a small group of New Zealand soldiers and I paraphrase; to show the Iraqi army how to have the balls to fight ISIS. He must think that winning the rugby World Cup is more awesome than it really is.
Key’s spittle flecked rant in the house was an unedifying experience …
Which ‘hat’ does he wear when he says ‘it is the least we can do without doing nothing’ and which ‘hat’ does he wear when he is accusing everyone else of being ‘gutless’ – our very own millinery-minded millionaire – I bet he practised that ‘speech’ in front of the mirror, several times….
He doesn’t need to attempt humour – he is a joke!
