Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend 2011 in…, in reply to Rich Lock,
I want to know why you didn't introduce yourself, Sir. It's very frustrating for a person like me who wants to know who everyone is, not to know!

Hard News: Friday Fun with Brickface, in reply to Emma Hart,
I think that that was one of the most moving things for me, Emma. I watched you go into that room, and I worried that it would be too much. And then I saw Bart very gently put his arm around you. I think some of us may have come to that point where Public Address has become somewhat of a family, more than just a community.

Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend 2011 in…, in reply to Jen Hay,
I am so sorry that we didn't get to talk more. I always so enjoy seeing you both.

Well that was lovely (yes, I left early). Emma did us all incredibly proud - well, I say we, I mean y'all because I sure as hell didn't contribute to the pastory. The story is captivating and funny, and I can't wait to hear what happened next. David was very funny - I had no idea how very predicative cranial diameter was. Blair Parkes' Chimney Book was affecting - very moving and beautifully done. And the Shockwaves work was very intense. Discomforting but mesmerising. Thanks so much, Russell, for organising it all. It was so lovely to see everyone, even if it was for such a brief time, and to meet George Darroch - a very engaging and interesting man he is, too.

Thanks for that Greville. I have the full Taskforce report here to hand - all 212 (A4) pages of it. I haven't read it yet but I'm sure that isn't far away.

My dress is pretty damn impressive.
I look foward to seeing it. And your resplendent breasts. Please tell me there are resplendent breasts. An amplitude of them.

Hard News: An open thread while I'm down…, in reply to DexterX,
I was 17, and what I most remember about the march I went on (the Auckland one - we started from Fowlds Park) is the extreme opposition of my father, who was overseas at the time. He was pretty shitty that 3 of his 5 daughters, and my Mum, were going to do this thing. But my mother was determined, and so that was that. My mental images of that day are: policemen walking alongside us, very peacefully, and then, suddenly being faced with a line of very young, very scared policemen dressed in this very filmic, and frightening looking riot gear. My sister screaming "Your mothers would be ashamed of you." Hearing an older policeman at the back of the frontline saying "Pick your man and down them". Which didn't happen to us, because by that stage it was obvious we weren't going to get through. Maybe others tried, like you Dexter, but I can't be sure about that. After that, my memory fades, and I don't remember what happened but I do remember it was a dreadful time in NZ's history. Where relationships were destroyed, where any conversation boiled down to one thing. Were you for, or against?

Emma, if the last ogb is anything to go by, there will be sighs, and gasps and audible ooo's.

Oh I cannot tell you how much I agree. Some of the suburbs you go into and it's like a great big vacuum cleaners comes and sucks out your soul.

That's brilliant. Absolutely genius.
