  • JackElder,

    some sort of self-powered gondolier system

    Something like this, perhaps.

  • Sam F,

    Heh, a little. It'd be way cooler if you could fasten your own bike into it and pedal across as per usual, though.

    If you took a wind trainer and bodged it with an oversize shweeb pod, should be workable. Be a hell of a tourist attraction as well.

    David,

    You did your best to get 'Deborah Hill Cone' and 'spanking' into the same sentence didn't you?

    Come on. Admit it...

  • Sacha,

    I was talking about the bike gondola, not Ms Hill-Cone. I though she lived in Manurewa now?

    Yeah, but she and hubby got fed up waiting for the Waterview Motorway to go through so they could burgle all those nice folk in Pt Chev.

    He started out by snarling at Her Majesty, Brenda, Queen of New Zealand.

    I love it that I'm the queen. But it was that Braunias tosser that snarled at me on Friday night - not the other guy.

    the greatest indignity offered to our butter since Marlon Brando rented an apartment in Paris

    And a belated rofflenui.

  • Steve Withers,

    acidophilus / bifidus yogurt will do as well (or better) as the pills and be more enjoyable on fruit....and probably cheaper.....depends how much you eat in a serving. :-)

  • Ian Dalziel,

    I will be spending this Sunday morning rabble-rousing.

    Beware the Idas of May
    Throwing the monkey-changers out of the temple seemed like a good idea at the time...
    But it didn't end so well for that other Sunday-centric chap with across to bear, the leg-endary holes make bipedal watercrossing hazardous. Maybe a cross bar is in order...

    the three men are one and the same

    Spreading the gut word
    It shows much intestinal flora, fauna and fortitude to invoke the wrath of the Olé Trinity - St Steven, St John and the Holy Spector (a more evil troika has not been seen since those post-Stalinist tossers: Molotov, Beria and Malenkov!)

    This entangled Tonsorial Triad is indeed a totality - have they ever been seen in the same room?
    Look at the clues: Johnny Lydon - butter gigs aside - his last album was a 1997 solo effort, "Psycho's Path" say no more... and they like their little cosmic jibes (here from a 2007 interview in the Orange County Register
    "JL:Well, California is, for me, magnificent. I think the people here are special.
    OCR: Why? What is it about here vs. anywhere else?
    JL:Well, I've made it my home. I've traveled the world, but it's the place I like the best. People just do not get in your face so much. I mean, there's all kinds of weird wackiness going on here. And I'm very upset that Phil Spector is still free. But it's that kind of California thing – the jury just didn't want to make a decision.'
    an they are some times seen in the same magazine
    also Braunias watches and stalks birds,
    Spector catches birds and - well you know the rest...
    I think Phil should be fired round the Large HadRonnie Colluder and see what he splits up into - even if it is just a pool of delicious melted rotten butter - or a stevedore named Higgs - we must know once and for all
    and all at once

  • David Slack,

    I have had an email from a doctor who would like me to consider the arguments in favour.

    You may have had antibiotics without recovery aids for years, but pre-probiotics are a very positive help.
    It has been found that about 75% of our immune system lies in the gut, its walls etc.
    The gut is kept healthy by the activities of good bacteria, and they breakdown fibre as their food.
    Antibiotics kill bad bacteria in the gut as well as the ones in your blood stream causing particular symptoms. But they also kill good bacteria.
    The pre-probiotics replace good bacteria, and more so than a feed of acidophilus yoghurt.
    It may not be the best product on the market.. there are lots.. but certainly better than nothing.
    Keeping your gut healthy may stop as much need for antibiotics in the future.
