  • Hard News: How long the leash on the…, in reply to Rich Lock,

    there's a starman, waiting...

    Probably enough to note that the ones the dirty filthy commie Russkis built with the 'help' of their captured Nazi scientists didn't blow up.

    Or get a Crowleyite magician to help...

  • Hard News: When A City Falls, in reply to merc,

    Peddle to the meddle...

    I can only imagine this Commission was a power control mechanism.

    a Governor?

    Greys' allergy...

    With its own car park, to boot!

    Nah! It's the Matrix, maan!
    (ok, shop window reflection...)

    I've always wanted someone to open a takeaway in Tekapo called Knight's Kai...
    (but not with astronomical prices, natch...)

  • Hard News: How long the leash on the…, in reply to Craig Ranapia,

    You're soaking in it...*

    Golly, I guess I need to CALM DOWN AND LEARN HOW TO TAKE A JOKE (tm) but that wasn’t only tasteless but your cheap shot missed the intended target by a wide margin. And the irony becomes that little bit more tasty, given the context. If you find Jeremy Clarkson so distasteful, try not to sound like him. M’kay?

    Cuts both ways...

    Just so we have a right understanding, getting pissy with me is not wise unless you’re a huuuuuge fan of watersports. I will have another coffee or three to top up my bladder and flush the bile ducts then return fire. :)

    Y'know, a smiley doesn't really negate tasteless imagery - just sayin'

    *Swirl© - good for cleaning glasses, cutlery, pots and kettles...

    totally wired...

    Ooh, night photography.
    That's another theme to explore.

    Great examples here...

  • Hard News: How long the leash on the…, in reply to merc,

    please, sir...

    They have corrected it already! Spooky.

    Damn, so that's why they didn't publish my comment...
    Still, good to know they can react fast
    - and that web-written truth is mutable...
    But it is still in the print editions!

    No Garter, but socks need pulling up...
    Not strictly on topic, but...
    (...but that hasn't stopped me in the past)
    and it does address the power of the press - I note in today's Press that Fairfax have taken it upon themselves to bestow a Knighthood on Stephen Fry!

    WOW has been running since 1987.
    This year's award show in Wellington was attended by The Hobbit director Sir Peter Jackson and actors Sir Stephen Fry and Orlando Bloom.

    He must be chuffed,
    has he tweeted about it yet?

  • Capture: Colour is the new black, in reply to Islander,

    fenestration penetration...

    Kereru will crash whenever they want;
    young thrushes are kind of exuberantly stupid
    (and you can't do much about that)
    and kotare …sigh.
    But, they almost always survive a window crash.

    Soon the skies will be full of controlled quadrocopters,
    watch out birds, and gaffer tape crosses on your windows!

    City life...

    This guy was at Camden

    That guy is Camden!
    :- )
    Sorry, I just finished China Mieville's Kraken
    and your painted pearly could've stepped right out of it...
    ...and what with all the Chihulys
    and Simon's edible Cthulhuies
    I think I may have been transported into the book...
