a pernickety pedant's post...
Sunday magazine piece by the prodigal singer herself,
Apropos nothing really, just wondering which sense of prodigal you were invoking here?
is it that she is:
- yielding abundantly (luxuriantly, even)?
- recklessly spendthrift or profligate?
(in wanting to give her music away perhaps?)or were you alluding to her as a prodigy
and her prodigious output?Sorry - but the English language is a minefield, and I just like to know I'm on the same page as the writer...

Hard News: Another Saturday Night, in reply to Keir Leslie,
...(like, seriously, this?) and there’s a need for independent accountability
Damn straight!
It reassures me not a jot that police with that attitude are still out and 'looking after' the community - but I suspect that attitude spreads down from the top and the current head in Chchch is a particularly unrepentant type - refusing to apologise to a pensioner badly treated by armed police in the Chchch redzone, comes to mind. -
let's get physicsical...
(thanks Ray & Anne for putting me on to this clip) -
alms for chillin'...
A beverage sponsor would be ideal...
Perhaps it need not be just one big sponsor, but rotating 'guest sponsors' - seasonally, monthly, weekly, or by-blogly(?) or somesuch...
Not flush, myself - but maybe I'll auction a poster on your behalf (that Great Unwashed 'Bambi' one went for a much needed $250!!)
or a copy of the 'Fall in a Hole" vinyl, or a Double Happys 45...
I'll think on it... -

The missing stare...
Frankly, in my 40 years+ of catching & eating the dear wee things – I’ve never found that….
maybe that quality is lost in the filleting process....
;- )Hope they start running soon!

Meanwhile back in Chchch anti-graffiti campaigning councillor Arrant Clown, er, Aaron Keown continues his commercial graffiti onslaught...
Keown is running for Council, Community board and the Health Board (and will want to keep his directorship as well) - he has already had enough problems getting to all meetings of Council and Health Board because of conflicts - greedy sod!
