    Edisonnoside...

    It’s the up-side that allows for the down-side.

    that is so going on a tee shirt...
    and as good an explanation of the way the modern world works as any I've seen for a while...
    ...we perhaps live within an ever-changing spectrum of tolerance.

    Bettor viewing for all...
    <q> One year of Sky City’s shiny new pokies could, for example, easily pay for TVNZ 7’s annual budget.</>
    Now there's a good idea!
    Could they make it part of the Convention centre deal?

    Secular key...
    Christian is a handy descriptor, when starting to figure out which fork in the Abrahamic road some one (or group) has taken - our own little multiverse...

    You can lead a horse to culture...

    The mullety guy in Slade always looked to me
    like he'd strayed from the Sweet.

    or Follyfoot

    aaah, Ron and Slugger and Dora...

    ...and I dunno why that Oz "Intelligentsia" twerp went
    straight for a Nuremberg reference, looked more
    like old time evangelical religion to me...
    Goddy Holder, maybe?

  • Cracker: End of Days, in reply to Damian Christie,

    No plans to make Hindsight available for purchase on DVD

    Sad, I reckon it should be available to all schools...

    Easter Edam and other cheeses…

    …but praying for a parking spot must constitute godbothering.

    prepare to meter your maker…

    So good lab practice has lab coats never leaving the lab…

    I recall some study (reported here in New Scientist ) finding that Doctors’ ties were a serious disease vector…

    The important point is that you were not BORN a presbyterian.

    I was, it’s on my birth certificate and everything!
    Gawd knows what gave me away….

    You’ll never see a Wicker Man on Mt Vic…

    8 pages before a Wickerman reference
    that’s gotta be a restraint record round here…
    (how long till the YouTube George Michael clip?)


    <PS> I note this thread started on Tuesday,
    meaning “Tīw’s Day”, the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology.
    carried on through Wednesday - Wotan’s (Odin) Day
    and here we are on Thor’s day with Frigg’s day off tomorrow,
    then we get to go all Saturnine before the two big Heavenly hitters
    Sun and Moon get a look in on the daily pantheon…

    turn, turn, turn...

  • Hard News: The Golden Mile,

    faux dough shopping…

    I miss the old Cook Street Market
    and that kind of shopping precinct
    (and yes with the Six Month Club
    still upstairs would be nice…)

    Victoria park mkt never really got that
    market / people ambience right…
    – cities need bazaars
    the bizarrer the better…

    chchch inner city died because people
    didn’t seem to like to walk a block or two*
    but malls like Northlands and Riccarton
    seem to make people happily walk further…

    *and because they killed the square
    by repurposing it for tourists and getting rid of buses
    and cars mostly - then the movie theatres mostly left
    resulting in a gray void - nice going CCC...

    Giving Ak the stiff little finger...
    I note that Auckland is an...
    ...Alternative Ulster !
    (what a result!)
