  • Hard News: Fox News: I know, right?, in reply to Lyndon Hood,

    showtime...

    I like how well the bunch-of-jokes-and-mockery
    followed by analytical-rant format works.

    I know, Parliament is almost there...
    They need better joke writers though!
    (and waaay more intelligent analysis....)


    caught report...
    spooky - I'd not heard of Crossfire before, but yesterday I pulled up behind a crossfire car, which I'd never heard of before either (Chrysler/Karmann apparently) - everything is connected!

  • Capture: Wellington? Well, I Would., in reply to Jonathan Ganley,

    Flights of fancy...

    I love this NAC-on-acid vision of Wellington...

    Big props!
    That's a very quaffable looking harbour
    - NAC, putting the Port in port city since 1947!

  • Hard News: "Because we can", in reply to Rosie,

    the caring government....

    Instead of wasting masses of money administering a complicated benefits system and chasing people we could spend the money helping people. ….and we could call it a transfer not a benefit.

    Where is the bus stop to this world, I want a ticket?
    What's more I reckon in that world the Gov't is freeing up all these school facilities in Chchch to create community elder care education and activity drop in centres, as they will have realised that they'll cope with the passage of the Baby Boomers better by keeping as many fit, healthy and engaged as possible - thus cutting future hospital and home care costs... win, win...

  • Hard News: "Because we can", in reply to Richard Aston,

    “Nanny State”

    I think this phrase should be subverted for use describing the braying of goats coming from the House of Parliament - watching Key wittering drunkenly on about Planet Key, goaded on by the rest of the lower fifth form bullies, was just embarrassing - can we have random breath testing in Parliament please...

    Watch and cringe...

  • Hard News: "Because we can", in reply to Russell Brown,

    It would require more empathy than they typically display.

    And just wait until Health Minister Ryall gets wind of this initiative...

  • Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Hebe,

    Do we have the bottle…?

    A Hundertwasser precinct…

    …and why not take a punt on an underwater precinct…
    Live the Life Aquatic in the East,
    Rise to the Delta Dawn in New Fenland…
    (or Nova Avondale)
    Slough off the weary past
    Life is wet
    Dive in!

    hmmm, Bottle Lake could be Venice in firs!

    Hound dogging them around...

    Isn't this a job for Keith Ng?

    Hmmm, intriguingly, Keith Ng
    is an anagram of The King!

  • Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Hebe,

    Fun of piles
    - for the whole family

    giant screw augers
    boring holes,
    thumpers thumping
    down the poles…

    (with a minor edit) I see
    a useful (and fun)
    kids' book emerging
    - go for it!
