Fuck their fax machines with black faxes.
The moebius fax or just a taped loop, works well also...

acronympholepsy?
Does anyone even remember what the K stood for?
Kap in hand I'm guessing not potassium in this case...
...it was Klynveld Main Goerdeler apparently
I guess the MG serves dual service...
- being convertible and easy to park -
oh, hang on... -

Phrases set to stun...
Zoom out and dissolve transition
I think your Vulcan-to-English translation app is malfunctioning, have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?
Having said that, what a wonderful phrase, a simple goodbye will never suffice again...

How to take a dark picture!
Strewth, he can see the out back, surely this'd be described as lenscap photography...

Dungers and Dragoons...
The old cruddy vandalised building was
obviously rubbish before the QuakesI don't believe it was that cruddy, it was a pretty solid looking viable stove manufacturing plant prior to Hendo/Council's stewardship - in fact Henderson still had his Russian MiG fighter jet stored in the old Electrolux complex until its recent sale by receivers - as far as I know the Council has not confirmed if he was paying rent or storage fees... unfortunately Welles Street is a seldom travelled side street outside the Red Zone of a dead city with stretched resources, no private security here (even for Council assets it seems) - anything can happen...

Good money after bad...
Pitching one council-owned asset against another...
Speaking of which, the $4.9 million asset 'we' acquired off l'il Davey Henderson, went up in smoke at the weekend, I note in the comments that:
According to the CCC Insurance schedule it was insured for $577K Demolition Value.
I believe the Para Rubber building (also bought from Henderson) was under insured when it was damaged in the earthquakes - you'd think when your Town Clerk (er CEO) was also on the board of the Council's Insurance company he'd have been more savvy about making sure his primary job's interests were well covered, otherwise why would he create such a massive conflict of interest ...
A new Red Zone?
Are we going to create a 1km long park land for prostitution?
Is that the safe, clean green vision for the “new Christchurch?”This is known as the 'prophylactic approach' to urban blight and would ensure that there were people in the area all the time :- )
Otherwise those block wide green wastelands will be a serious no go zone at night - one assumes they have thought about policing these areas (and the cost thereof)... -

Perhaps Media 3 needs a wee slot for the headline of the week - The Press had a very honest headline this morning: "National creeps up in popularity" - sums it up completely for me!
