  • Up Front: Bonging Science Doughnut Time,

    I guess my darling was lucky that his cancer was diagnosed too late for him to have to put up with any of that stuff.

    "Am I the only one who wanted to print this out, roll it up, and deliver it to our own Minister of Social Development and Employment?"

    No, no, and no again. You are not the only one. I wonder if J K Rowling would allow it be be printed in the Herald/Dom. I wonder if the Herald/Dom would print it.

  • Hard News: Climate science and the media,

    Who do we have to *** to get a full hour for Media 7 round here? Well an hour less 10 minutes for the news.

  • OnPoint: Tax cut zombies,

    And of course, there's the rise in ACC levies. I'm wondering if the talk about an increase in GST is a cover for something else nasty that we haven't thought of. We'll be so relieved when the Masters tell us OK we've listened to the people and we're not going to increase GST.

  • Hard News: Start with your conclusion,

    Several months ago there was mention of a group of influential business persons in Christchurch who wielded a lot of political power back in the 40's? 50's? 60's?. The group had a name and I'm wondering if someone here can remind me.

  • Speaker: The Architecture of Elsewhere,

    How about a giant Buzzy Bee? The alert would savour the verbal connection with Wellington's beehive.

  • Up Front: The Naked and the Dude,

    A couple of years back I stayed with an e-mail friend in Philadelphia and she took me to the Brandywine art gallery. They have a special permanent collection of Andrew (and some of the other) Wyeths. There were some stunning drawings by James Wyeth of Rudolph
    Nureyev. Naked and erect. After an original frisson I was overtaken by the beauty of the dancer's body and the artistry and total lack of prurient intent by Wyeth.

  • Hard News: Totally Local,

    A problem I have with referendums (or a)is that the decisions have to be informed, and the source of information depends on who has the most money to spend on advertising. When it comes to flogging off our assets, including SOEs, the people who will benefit most are the people who have the most money.

    It took some years to recover my nail growth when we were looking at alternatives to FPP.
