Hard News: When the Weather is the News, in reply to David Haywood,
Isn’t Barhill the site of that Victorian-era “ideal village”? Perhaps you could start a new one?
Yes, we’ve started this (actually on the suggestion of a PA reader)…
http://rzhha.blogspot.com/A brilliant idea! Man, if Ashburton District is marketing the old Barhill village as a tourist attraction (when there’s almost nothing to see), imagine what a draw that could be! Beautiful historic homes relocated in the wake of the 2010/11 Christchurch Earthquakes? Win-win.
ETA: David, I’m seeing a potential reality tv show here. Want to be a star?

My son in his cold student flat was seen yesterday riding a couch on a ladder down his street
Now that's style! :-)

Oh, David. If I believed in a deity I would be shaking my fist at them right now.
Although I'm in a liveable house and really have nothing to complain about while the utilities are still on...I'm not enjoying the snow. In late July we had it lying thickly for days and days and still unmelted in some places a week later, the heaviest and longest-lying snow I can remember ever seeing in Chch. And now, again?? I know in Chch all bets against Mother Nature's fury are totally off, but, really??
I want normality! Boring times, where are you?! Trivial inconveniences, petty disputes, minor anxieties, come back, I miss you!!

Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to Sue,
maybe national should go all the way and simply categorise beneficiaries as
- deserving poor
or
- undeserving poor

Sue, your link seems to be broken? -
Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to Andre Alessi,
I don’t really understand how National can think most people would choose to live on a benefit if they had other, genuine options

I’ve no quibble with the Govt tackling youth unemployment, but it seems like this is an attack on the young unemployed. They think micro-managing the finances of young people will help them become empowered and self-supporting??
ETA: and
the choice to continue parenting children full-time after they’re able to walk on their own would become the preserve of the employed. Compulsorily.
Seems rather circular...how many young people would qualify for parental leave even if employed??

Hard News: London's Burning, in reply to Danielle,
I’d like to note belatedly that if you start liveblogging the apocalypse again I will be inventing a Fingers in Ears Lalalalala Machine and utilising it quick smart. Bloody dystopians.
Russell, I'm pretty sure we need a "print this to t-shirt" function!

etceteras that I have encountered.
There’s a T shirt :)
As in, "your smile eyes knees and..."?

Hard News: London's Burning, in reply to recordari,
Your joke is better. :-)
So, this is when I discover the attachment doesn’t take a tiff.
No argument from you, then. ;-)
