Hard News: Where do you get yours? (Food…, in reply to Hebe,
Good Greek takeaways from “Its All Greek to Me” in Sydenham.
...and the wonderful Moroccan restaurant Casbah (used to be at the start of Chancery Arcade opposite the Library) has reopened at 303 Colombo street by Sydenham park...
... and don't forget The Bodhi Tree now located at 397 -399 Ilam Road in the vowel-less suburb of Bryndwr (which is just the Welsh way of saying Burnside really, yet they are separate suburbs - sadly our visionless forefathers forgot to include a good Cajun suburb like ByBayou. Oh, and Fendalton has nothing to do with swamps - Honest!)

east = eats
we have even got Winnie complaining
about too many Asian restaurants.John Key is comfortable with it,
as he said on the telly last night
"the more the merry"...
I sometimes wonder if he needs some
remedial English as a Second Language
courses, sadly, his first language Finance
is not served well either... -
Grace Brothers under fire...
Perhaps Back Benches could do a special
Are you being Served episode...
...one does have to wonder if perhaps
Judith Collins and Mrs Slocombe
were separated at birth... -
Is this the start of the Food Blog
that got named months ago?
Prole Feed or summat wasn't it? -

SCIRTing the issue...
As this is the most recent thread about Chchch quakes I'll add this here - Chchch is possibly taking Mark Ford off Auckland's hands - he's to head the Supportive Horizontal Infrastructure Team - or something like that:Watercare Auckland boss Mark Ford will head the group in charge of repairing Christchurch's earthquake-damaged infrastructure.
Brownlee said Ford would be put in charge of the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team, which has been charged with bringing the city's damaged infrastructre back to pre-quake levels.
...Ford will be the independent chairman of the Client Governance Group (CGG), which will manage next year's $2.2b infrastructure and repair project in Christchurch and keep an eye on the rebuild.So how many semi autonomous quangos do we have on the go now? And has anyone heard anything from that panel, supposedly overseeing it all, that Jenny Shipley was on?
Back to the future...
If you watch the video at the top of that Stuff/Press article, it is alarming to see that John Key and his Speech writers don't even know what month it is (at 17 sec) he says "at the end of this month, 30th June, we will have spent..."
- I guess Key's world is so dynamic he lives in the future (where things are much brighter!) -
Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Sacha,
I was just describing that to someone last night.
Synchronicity?
Morphic resonance?
or merely coincidence? -
Hard News: Disrupting the Television, in reply to Steve Barnes,
Why cant the FBI pop over again and raid Sky TV for doing something that would be illegal in the US?
Careful what you wish for...
The TPPA may well make that a reality! -
Knight at the isoptera….
Does that make him an agony ant?
Or perhaps an ant-agonist?I’m thinking it’s classic second-termite behaviour….
antediloovial….
Adamant
Pretty sure I used to micturate on him….
more of a conviction than an opinion…
I thought that piece needed to be aired
because it shows a huge lack of empathy,
equally so in the reporterSadly, Joyce was the author!
