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

    Spruiker Parker and his pet Elvis impersonator...

    Mayor Bob & allies’ thousand-year-Reich clause.

    One of whom, Aaron Klown er Keown, is reported in this morning's paper - as saying:

    ...the public did not need to be involved in the process any more.
    "I don't really care too much about consulting.
    I represent people who don't care about the council."

    Names please...

    The above is in relation to Marryatt having a ceiling put on his spending allocations and having to consult the public proper like:

    He will now have to report back on spending allocations of more than $5 million and the council is to be consulted before projects concerning suburban strategic plans or improved infrastructure are approved.

    Just as well, don't wanna end up with a used V8 race round the city...

    What's the story...

    ...in summer our Kereru eat over ripe guavas and get drunk – I have seen it on that spot, on its back with one wing in the air, waving.

    That's the Morning Glory seeds working...
    The flower is aso Victorian Flower Language
    shorthand for a Rolling Stones' song...
    ...it's Delphiniums for me I think!

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

    A city fails...

    once Christchurch can be insured again

    University insurance premium more than doubles...

    Vero says it will "limit price increases'

    Ratepayers to find $700,00 to help our insurer, Civic Assurance! (and don't start me on the corner city CEO, Tony Marryatt, has painted us into with his conflict of interest by being a director of this company - and he's paid for it - ya pay someone virtually half a million a year and they get another part time job! We need exclusivity clauses for the next CEO)

    ...meanwhile Council still bullies ratepayers - The private eye is the work of our oxymoronic Democracy Services Manager - I wish they'd spend some time and money on fixing our roads and pavements so little old ladies can get the shops without breaking a hip...

    and Parker awarded "Communicator of the Year' by the Public Relations Institute - none of whom, obviously, live in Chchch but watch a lot of TV - so you can bullshit a bullshitter!

    What I’m enjoying about this mix of imagery and intertextuality is that it seems pretty utilitarian to date. I’m hoping we maintain that feeling...

    ...and a sense of Wunder(bar)...
    Lyttelton, a portal, beyond the Port Hills!

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

    Decimation or hang ten...

    If you are in the water surfing,
    you are the crowd.

    True enough,
    but what if you are
    on the crowd,
    crowd surfing?
    Then you are
    the horde board...

    or in Clarkson's case
    the whored bawd...

    great thinkers of our time...

    C’mon Jezza, you’re aiming far too low!

    Jeremy your tumbril is at the front door...
    Clarkson is a waste of carbon isn't he?
    ...is there such a thing as praticide ?*

    *nah, better withdraw that,
    it makes me as bad as him,
    and Laws, et al!
