Thank you for a wonderful year of blogging, Emma.
-
Olive your comments, I do.
Aww shucks, it's fans like you that keep me olive year after year.
-
Emma's book is actually my Christmas present to myself. I hope whoever gets it (I'll decide after I read it) doesn't notice that it's not virginal. Perhaps I should wear latex gloves whilst reading it. Or is that like taking a shower wearing a raincoat?
Sounds like you want David's book with its washable cover.
-
In which orifice?
Olive them!
That's quite the dirty martini

Perfect for funny laundering?

I don't even have to duck to miss that one. Bless my charming naivety.

Yeah, sorry about the puns, I'm a little on edge before tonight, but o'live.

As I write here every year I am truly thankful that I get to read the voices of you all. You bring me things I would not normally see and make me think about things I would normally never notice. You are all wonderful in too many ways to describe. Have a great holiday all of you.
Bart's said exactly what I'd've liked to. PAS keeps me feeling somewhat connected to NZ, or at least a part of it and I'm very grateful (I'm also jumping on a plane back to NZ in a few days, very exciting).

Thankyou Emma - for that post, and for being the sweet, shy, stroppy sheila that you are, and for showing Cedric who was boss. It was a highlight of my year to meet you. It's been a very good PAS year for me personally, because I have got to meet so many of you, and have made some good friends, who are kindhearted, interested and interesting people. Although there are people still unmet, I am sure you will not remain that way. All of you make my life richer and more interesting. Thanks to Russell for providing a place for all these disparate people to come together. We are a community, and a damn good one at that.

And one more to come, Jackie! /giggles with glee
Many thanks, PAS Systemistas. It has been a great year.
-
Or is that PASistas?
PAS-sisters? (A little exclusionary, maybe.)
What is the collective noun for this community?

I always say PASer which is pronounced like Pasteur without the 't'

Thank you, Emma, for all the excellent posts, your splendid book, and indeed for collecting the lolicious comments over the year.
Let us have more of this in 2010, for it is good.
I'LL DEMAND ANSWERS.

'Tis the season to be .... drunk. To you and yours Emma. xx an' all you other lot :)
If anyone is alone 4 Xmas, drop us a line and I give my address for afternoon drinkies. -
Most of those comments were even funnier when uncaged from their original context and allowed to soar freely.
And Mr Hayward's line about that c*nt Bollard staying off my turf flashed into my head last Thursday morning, when I was in the media lock up at the Reserve Bank.
I don't usually get many laughs on monetary policy statement day...well, actually I do, because the economy is a never ending source of humour-only-slightly-tinged-with-hysteria...but this one was different.
-
Oh, stop that. Next on our list is buying a house, and I'm trying to be sensible and practical about my love for lead-lighting, wood panelling and high ceilings.
Repeat after me: "It's not worth the searing lower back pain required keeping it all clean." Thankfully the property porn I jizz my pants over involves gargantuan houses that require the population of a small town -- or the last living Mitford Sister -- to keep habitable.

Jessica Mitford lived over my back fence (well almost - diagonally like) - someone to wave to

I'm feeling a little gleeful, myself. Not only is it the holidays, not only do I get to meet YOU, and your lovely girls, but hopefully there will be a Wriggly Person there as well. Either way, the idea of nattering in the sun to you makes me want to clap my hands.
-
Can I just say as a newbie that you're all fricken awesome. After stumbling into a flame war without my training wheels, a particular moment of grace thanks to BenW set the scene for a greater dose of critical self-awareness than I was fully prepared for.
What I've discovered is that this is a place for the honest, and pretenders need not apply. I'm fully aware that I'm not there yet, wherever there is, but I'm here, and I like it.
Good luck, and good night...

Actually, I believe that line was from Our Russell.
-
And thank you and the rest of the crew, Emma, for making it a place of much thought-provoking and ROFLnui-ing.
I'm just going to head out and bleach my brain of thoughts of Paul Holmes, kink AND olives. Maybe some waffles will be comforting...
-
@Isabel - as long as PASer doesn't elide from Pas'eur to poseur. (I'm sure it might in the minds of the nay-sayers)

I would like it on record that last night at the (spectacularly successful) Wellingtonista Awards, I was encouraged, by members of the Public Address Community*, to make up stories about Emma and a Certain Recent Night.
It is a testament to how much I like her, and how much I do actually want to see her on Monday**, that despite those exhortations, on sober reflection*** this morning, I decided**** not to.

(1) Rhymes with Slack, Sleeve, and um....Sliovanni.
(2) And how frightened I am she might come bearing the wrong kind of alcohol to punish me.
(3) Not that I'd been drinking or anything, obviously.
(4) Or couldn't think of anything nearly salacious enough. Truth being stranger that fiction and all that.

I got the top comment, and even better it just kept on giving!! Got to love that. Do I get a prize for that? Surely I do?!
Always interesting and enjoyable to interact with people of mostly different viewpoints.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all
