Party in the caldera...
If you like your music with a little Gallic flair - the under-publicised Bi-annual Piper Heidsieck French Festival is on in Akaroa (Banks Peninsula) this weekend - complete with French Cricket!Ride first time...
Nice to see Iggy Pop never lost that 'couldn't give a shirt' attitude...

Hard News: When a riot went on, in reply to Russell Brown,
Straw Dogs was quite controversial around that time.
Would have led to a much bloodier ending for the riot though....

Life’s a riot…
and, as I recall, after it all settled down we realised we had absolutely no idea where the Rip It Up van had been parked – we had to go walkabout round the area to find it, several blocks away from the running fracas thankfully….EDIT: nice to hear Jeremy Templer (who did some redesign work on RIU back then) on The Best Song Ever Written this afternoon.

Blows against the empire
Phillipstown School beats Hekia Parata's meddling - Ruled unlawful, Wahoo!
...and CCDU finally does what it should've in the first place and lets individual landowners develop their own properties in Chchch city mall area
Now if we can just ensure Aaron Keown and Ngaire Button amongst others don't get back into office (greedy Keown is running for 3 different positions and probably wants to keep his directorship as well).For Christ(church)'s sake please vote!

I wonder what would happen to any FTA if the USA becomes a fractured or divided country? - they sure seem hellbent on fomenting insurrection at the moment...
I'd want some clause in there that said if the level of democratic process or basic freedoms drop below a certain point it all becomes void, or somesuch. -
OnPoint: The Big Guns: Truecrypt and Tails, in reply to BenWilson,
Don’t know how that happened.
Computers, eh?
It's like they've got a mind of their own... -
Schrödinger's Trade Agreement...
Why would we want to enter a Free Trade Agreement with a country that owes at least $US16 trillion (and gawd knows how many dollars there are in existence these days) and has ground to a halt because of a bid to borrow more?Time to cut up their credit cards methinks...
Keep up the good work Hadyn!

Capture: Spring Breaks, in reply to Nora Leggs,
love the kraken duck attack, bubble heads, looming figure and tile vision…
here’s some stuff I’ve seen recently:
a fence waiting for Jesus to form…
(in Chchch)
an exterminated Dalek skeleton…
(in Napier last week)
a gunny bunny…
(in a Napier boutique)
