Yes. Just watched Campbell Live. Jesus Christ . I felt sick. Interesting how The MSC has 4 offices in NZ and none would talk to the C Live Crew. John Key "rejects" any assertion of too little too late. The Harbour,the beaches and the people and businesses are up shit creek all right. And it's only the beginning. :(

The only good thing that may come from this is putting a stop to the start of possibly risky off-shore drilling around New Zealand
I imagine the govt will desperately try to avoid mentioning it until after the election - then enthusiastically grab its ankles on our behalf to make up for those pesky credit downgrades and pie in the sky job projections.
"Balance the books", balancing environment against economy, mixed ownership model, etc.
Look, a penguin. #doh

Seriously being mocked by you is an honour. Am only too happy to be mocked.

Sheesh, now I'm worried - there was me thinking I was walking softly and carrying a big shtick... I hope when I do do my correct word thing that no one takes it as scornful or contemptuous or even sanctimonious a good natured ribbing and helpful nudge in the right direction perhaps, but derision - never (or not intended if perceived). :- )

Saw campbell live too. Feel sickened and despairing. These fuckers are not going to be happy until NZ is a smoking crater

To mock is indeed a sin, or to con nan even more so, but among friends, it is Forever Dolphin Love.

I can recommend the Little Mexico Cantina
I was underwhelmed. Mexican Specialities in Ellerslie or bust!

I wonder if Oh Calcutta! in Parnell is still the go?
Yep, it is. I live near there and most times when I walk past it seems pretty full. As is St Tropez next door.
I like a kebab. Had some good ones in Melbourne, but man, I still dream of those ChCh kebabs. Amazingly elastic bread, thick too. Soaked up all the juice from the lamb (thank you for dying and being so damn tasty little lamb).
Montreal has alot of kebab places (the owners invariably had immigrated from Beirut, and spoke French only), and the kebabs were pretty much yum yum. Two things the kebabs had that I haven't seen here is a) a perserved pink vegetable or something and b) a yellow perserved something that was long and square shaped.
I’ve been looking for a decent szechuan place in AKL. Anyone have any recommendations?
A few years ago friends and I would go to a szechuan place in Onehunga that was very good - opposite the old post office at the end of the mall. The place may have moved.
And speaking of spicy and building up a tolerance, a friend once commented ’I am become death, destroyer of worlds’* on a nam tok that I thought was just the right side of nicely warm.
The Nam Tok from the Thai place in the Albert St Food Alley is very hot. I have asked for "little hot" the last few times and invariably little hot is very unbearably hot. The Nam Tok in Zap is much more balanced and mild in flavour.
What I love is Veitnamese salad - noodles, lettuce, spring rolls, carrots, some beef, yum. Only $5.06 when I had it in Montreal at a wee hole in the wall near Chinatown. Can't seem to find similar here. Otahuhu apparently is the place for Vietnamese so must wander down there sometime.

Points to Campbell for raising the issue of flags of convenience. And the shippers trying to wash their hands of it all? Tui Billboard pending.

True, but their opening hours are a bit challenging for people like me and Dolly Parton.

Insert long explanation of the failings of my earlier post. Such as the lyrics actually saying 'yeah, it's just a bitch'. Ain't life a fish? Link restored from the void.

Speaking of fish, who'd be a canary?
That is by way of speaking of Megatsunamis as we were...
Large volcanic eruptions are taking place on the sea floor 5km from the island of El Hierro in The Canary Islands, if I was on the eastern seaboard of the USA, I might be thinking of visiting friends well inland... or at least keeping a weather eye on this event - y'know as opposed to a 'wether eye' where ya just hit the high notes and struggle to be herd, in the choir of sheep out on the 'tenor reef'... -

Trapped on tenor reef. Free willy?
A blog about foreigners, and no Foreigner. Soon to be remedied, under urgency.
