  • Speaker: The Voyage: On Interpreting and…, in reply to DexterX,

    I cannot seem to see a major opposition presence/voice in this
    – correct me if I am wrong?

    Sorry, I wasn't saying there was any major opposition
    (read Labour) voice , just that MPs heard from their electorates
    - ie the masses. and it seems to have made National back off.
    Though of course it may have just been a cunning way to
    maintain the status quo...

    iMutt?

    or as art for arts sake.

    I was interested to note that The Press story on Henry totally omitted his Christ's College Old Boys status, but did give a link to his website - I know his folks and have been hearing of his exploits for years, though I hadn't caught up with his 3DD book - scenic views of the harbour from the Summit Road will never be the same now (nsfw) ...

    Noooo... it, they upblew!

    Maybe instead of the conventional time capsule, we will start burying our old iPhones in hermetically sealed containers for future gens to marvel, or laugh, over.

    Great idea!
    You can recycle my Planet of the Apps meme at the same time...

    A close up of those rippled forms makes
    them look a bit like giant chitons.

    and a bit like trilobites as well...

    grate mines...

    I guess the rippled edges is a tidal thing.

    I'm guessing it's also a fractal distribution thing,
    much the same as in dune creation,
    from wind and water action...

    policy turns are dictated by the PR team?

    and

    we need to take into account Joyce, English
    and others really in charge

    Damn, never play a player, huh?
    Glum now....

    Bondi filesaver...

    Whoops, here it is…

    ...from outside The Astra hotel (or thereabouts)?
    I hear it may now be an old folks home...
    it was definitely a 'day care centre'
    of sorts in the '80s!

    Welcome to the Gernsback Continuum...

    ...or is it just a case of another girl another planet...
