  • Capture: Two Tales of a City,

    Down Town...
    That idea of a covered stadium* in Tuam St/Lichfield/Madras/Barbadoes block looks like it would create a huge void, I can't imagine there being things on in the stadium that often - didn't see the needed parking precinct nearby or light rail terminal... nor for that matter any large new inner city housing precincts...
    Clever of them to go with Precinct rather than Zone, Churr Chitsch is pretty much Zoned out nowadays

    *and what happens to the new revamped 100-day stadium in Addington, do we just toss it away, give it back to League and not let them use the underused stadium in town where all the people will be and what will be happening in The Westpac Stadium? or the Town Hall I think they are over-stadiaing their case.
    The era of the stadium may be waning as bandwidth and home screens increase in size...

    Nice to see Gudrun out in all weather recording the scene outside CCC tonight, I gotta say that the organisers of the rally urgently need some good chant writers. or rappers...

    ...involved “ethics” as well as law. The word must mean something different to a wideboy money trader...

    More asset sales?

    I have a round building
    in Wellington to sell you.

    But don't we already own that?

    Those panels look remarkably unscratch-tagged, here's hoping they remain so...

    ...and you'd think there'd be some way to extract energy (even small amounts) from the squelching of sound, it is after all a wave...

    ...I mean, it can trigger enough electrical current to send signals along the auditory nerve to the brain, that's gotta be useful somewhere in the scheme of things, right?

    ...or does noise become static energy, sloughing off charge, blundering through the iron forest, unheard, with no particle place to go...

    OK, so I checked:

    Hmmm... Bet that looks great in Latin...

    Maybe they could use one of them 'Coronial Mass Injections' I read about in The Press - but that was to do with sun spots! (epic science fail)
