Southerly: This Week in Parliament: 2…, in reply to David Haywood,
perhaps you eat a lot of fish?
Alpha and Omega...
(be the 1,225,581st person to watch this annually linked 'masterpisce'...)and I do love this pair of fish from New Brighton...

Southerly: This Week in Parliament: 2…, in reply to Martin Lindberg,
Wednesday's child...
Is Sooty maybe one of the ravens Huginn or Muninn?
but, but, that would make Key - Odin!
...giving truth to the old saw that in the land of the blind a one eyed man is king!
and he does have a serious 'Ass Guard' in Wayne Ravenson...Glove's Labours lost...
But if Sooty is 'that bear' he has pedigree - the Daily Mail has a tale of his killing someone!
and he was always getting into jams...Why once he even briefly ran the country (Britain):
The moral of the story: where there's 'soot' there's 'smut'

Hard News: Stella and the Fun Palaces, in reply to Stella Duffy,
so if you know anyone Gap-Filler-ing and think they might like the idea...
I have emailed Coralie Winn with all the links and your message - I see many useful synergies betwixt the two projects - here's hoping...

Speaker: Sex with the office lights on:…, in reply to mark taslov,
Garner and grains of truth…
Doing the deed in Parliament as a scrub is what it is, dishing the dirt on yourself rocking the coitus in Bowen House for an op-ed piece...
One wonders if that is the backstory to the change in cleaners at the Beehive – perhaps to a crew that were in someone else’s pocket rather than David Farrar’s…

Capture: Art On The Street, in reply to Nora Leggs,
The hand of Gordon Harris’ crew?
I'm assuming that there's an 'apologies (or thanks) to Mati Klarwein' on that piece somewhere...
Meanwhile Chchch has a big Street Art exhibition opening at the YMCA thsi week - great to see Dcypher back from the States.

Fun Palaces...
...not a million miles removed from what Gap Filler is doing in Chhchch.

Obscured by clods…
What on earth is Murdoch thinking of?
There is clearly room for a constantly updating ’news ticker strip’ for stock updates and news at the bottom of that screen layout – which could then be bookended by stroboscopically changing ad lugs…
…what an amateur!I also wonder if the advertisers who have their anamorphic ads on the pitch have been compensated for their loss of impact and presence due to their being largely obscured by Star Sports’ ‘screen info furniture’…
…and why couldn’t on-screen players be replaced by CG animations on the fly – imagine the NZ team all replaced by Hobbit-related avatars – fun times….

Capture: Movement, in reply to JacksonP,
Green arrow...
More watery reflection
a 'whitewaterbow'...

I've been hearing radio ads for a Viagra© substitute
called Niagara© (the joys of having subcontractors about the house
- plus the sounds of the '60s, '70s & '80s)
It always makes me think
"But... Niagara falls!"

croup to croupier....
Speaking of horses arses... Whatever credibility Colin Espiner ever had is now well washed away, as he justifies Sky City's current ad campaignSkyCity spokesman Colin Espiner said the company did not want to highlight the casino and gambling operations.
"What we were looking at was areas of the business that perhaps people didn't know about, particularly in the hospitality side."
The ad was intended to share the story of staff and the business, he said....
The ad makes only a scant mention of SkyCity's casino business, which Wilcox said was so unbelievable it could backfire on them, he said.
...
Of SkyCity's $820m revenue last year $570m came from gambling and less than $200m was from non-gambling business.
