  • Island Life: Get over it,

    If you want green light, get one of those torches that you have to shake. Then you're only burning your own fat, not some poor little animal that had to die for your candles. I expect after a few nights of that, people will go back to mains lighting, for reasons that are obvious to everyone who doesn't go to bed at dusk.

    It's so geeky ...

    Getting amped about an empty cabinet? You think?

    Emma: I suppose taking someone up on that etchings line is one quick way to distinguish real from bullshit artists.

    Yes, I know of at least one disappointed lady who took up a handsome young man on his bullshit and spent a dull half hour actually looking at some etchings.

    Must be hard if you actually are an artist specializing in etchings, and not particularly good looking, to get anyone to look at them.

    Tom, that would be a highly geared portfolio

    Danielle, I'm thinking you've probably got a purse in your portfolio.

    Everyone's got a portfolio. $20 in your wallet is a portfolio.

    Does anyone have any clue why I can't send attachments?

    Email attachments?? That's real strange. Your ISP (I'm assuming XTRA) can't help?

  • Southerly: Nine Months of Baby Hell,

    My little man had the 10 day constipation thing, but our doctor prescribed enemas. It was not fun for either of us, but it made him regular pretty quick. Not that I'm a fan of poo, but how is food supposed to get into him if it can't get out?

    He has very definite musical tastes, but Daddy just insists. It's my life too. He soon learns that music is a shared experience. I notice a distinct preference for anything lyrical.

  • Hard News: Ready to Fly,

    I have the opposite problem. Do I really look like the kind of person who require immediate intervention before you start licking the cordless phones or attempting to shoplift a fridge/freezer?

    If only we could see ourselves the way others see us. I suspect I'm hard to distinguish from the background. The camouflage of total ordinariness.

    Does Noel Leeming train its staff to make you feel like a dirty old man hanging around a kindergarten inside of a minute, or is that just a happy coincidence?

    Curious, they always make me feel like a dirty old man in a nightclub. I don't know any of the tunes and no one will talk to me. Getting even filthy looks would be an improvement.

    I promise to watch the ads on YouTube. A freeview decoder isn't in my allowed capex for this year.
