Doing the TV channal flick last night I saw the end of Sainsbury talking to the weka farmer, just in time to hear him go on a vehement attack on DoC for being communist, he wasn't joking, he's an ACT nutbar.
Going to Gillespies Beach from the Fox on a hired bicycle I was attacked by a kea (think - winged green corgi chasing a paper boy) and had empathy with the kea killer of a decade earlier.
Here at Pūtaringamotu there is a kiwi creche for roroa.
They are announced about 2 weeks after their arrival & I never hear them after that. I think in their first days they explore the bush and find its limits, thereafter they keep away from the boundaries.
I thought they would bring in weka, but they eat too much for the bush to sustain them.

The gold of [edit: Campbells Tits] that story was the council workers and their power play, which (ahem) lifts and seperates that story from say the Herald Sun on the Opposition Leader in Speedos, bloody banal bollocks.

Just caught tonight's Campbell Live. A smart and warmly human tribute to Pauly Fuemana. Obviously took a lot of work, dedication and ability to win trust. Good stuff.
Don't get into the comments though. Makes the Herald's Your Views read like the New York Review of Books.

Awesome Pip. That's great.
Ha ha ha so I wasn't the only one thinking "Wow. Own goal of the year, right there" then...
Don't get into the comments though.
Too late... and that's quite some story from Past Neighbour, eh. Can't quite believe it myself...

meaningless age categories (eg the undifferentiated 55+ category--which assumes a 56 year old has the same interests as a 76 year old!).
The age categories aren't meaningless - but they are important to media execs in terms of what we will purchase. The age categories are relevant to advertisers - and the execs don't care about anything beyond revenue.

You knew I'd have to take a look after you said that. Yes, all very talkback but only a few rather than pages of ignorant ranting.

Quite. I presume there are others too.

Rack and ruin... J.C. the second coming?
surely Campbell Live should be feted for
keeping us abreast of beach behaviour
- foreshore, foreshore!...
Thanklessly fleshing out the bare bones
of current (or at least tidal) affairs...
and as we all know, topless women
are an omen - but not necessarily
the shape of things to come... -
The Press today cut-&-pasted Alice Thomsons rather nasty piece on scarves. She judges others by her own standards and projected her own animosity to the wearer of this clothing as being their presumed contempt for her own style.
Scarves are still to be seen in the pews of my church. I really don't see the problem.
I shouldn't be surprised but The Press spelt her name wrong from a cut-&-paste item.

What the... Someone needs to tell Betty Windsor (who can rock a headscarf old school style, just like her mother) what an insensitive old hag she's being.
