  • Hard News: The Waterview Bore, in reply to Shaun Lott,

    impending Water views…

    …the lack of ice in the Arctic, and I wonder: Are they planning to raise it far enough?

    We have just sent a renowned source of hot air (and a possible Typhoid Mary) down to Antarctica for 4 days!
    Keys to chill out in Antarctica
    Can’t quite see why the wife and Diplomatic Protection Squad boys are going – it’s not a cheap thing keeping someone at Scott Base for 4 days….

    Key collapses at restaurant
    it’s just a sniffle, I’ll be fine, (I know I was just in the States – Hawaii & Florida – but that new flu is nothing to worry about, why should I stay home from work, especially during ‘Bring the Wife to Work Week’) send me on down to that delicate closed ecosystem, she’ll be right!
    Here’s hoping Contagion, The Thing, or Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness isn’t the in-flight movie.

  • Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Islander,

    present tenth…

    microbiology & bacteriology

    As walking co-operatives it’s always good
    to know how the the other nine-tenths* lives,
    and what is good for their future, also…

    Maybe they’d like it all
    just a tad warmer
    and wetter?
    Outvoted on the body corporate!

    *maybe it's the other ten elevenths
    10 : 1 ratio any way
    teaser link


    I like Metrology, maybe as the study of cities
    and how they correlate to bodily functions
    and biomass population breakdown…

  • Hard News: Looking at Leveson, in reply to Kumara Republic,

    I fixed that dodgy link above...
    and to think if he'd just changed the name to The Gore Channel - he'd probably have made an even bigger killing!

    Gerald Scarfies...

    Bird of paradise, slightly the worse for wear

    Hang on. I recognise that dissolute insouciance, didn't he used to play guitar in Hello Sailor or summoneorudder like that?

  • Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Joe Wylie,

    the Mobil Guide, which I’m pretty sure
    gave its age as around 900 years.

    That's a very old Mobil Guide!
