    eply to DexterX, about an hour ago Email Web Twitter
    The POAL are just deficating on everyone

    I was trying to work out whether you making a strange double pun - deficit + defecate = I guess that's still a possibility...

    Steve B - the Union wont be finished until the overseas supporting unions are also finished - and I dont think that is likely anytime soon-

    BTW Ron Hamlin’s latest blog explains why the latest ORFU bailout didn’t do much other than shovel more money down the crapper.

    Gah!
    Striding from financial disaster into permanant everlasting debt-

  • Hard News: Back to mediocrity, in reply to Paul Campbell,

    After this past month’s ORFU financing debacle (just one of many, we seem to throw millions at them every few years) it turns out that the quango that built it (consisting largely of current or ex ORFU/Highlanders board members) neglected to contract any of the local rugby teams to actually use it. Family members got great prices for the land though.

    I'd heard rumours of that...as someone who is a joint owner of 3 Otago properties (with several other family members) it gives me no joy to think that the nephews & nieces, grand nephews & grand-neices could be paying increeased rates on them for decades yet.

    FU/ORFUet al-

    Have the book & I really esteem Dylan as a great ANZ creative person - look forward to getting Kate Beaton's "Hark a Vagrant" (1st time I've heard of it.)

    Any covert bread/oatcake/potato-cake/ damper/scone-making freaks out there? Who do not eschew breadmakers for the daily stuff?

    A happy atheist has to have something to offer for the Easter table some of my benighted rellies put up-

  • Capture: EQNZ Remembrance, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,

    Such an attractive little monument to early Canterbury. Amen.

    And very easily saved as you suggest.

    Hating on CERA & the CCC for their pathetic lack of insight into what is important and their bullheaded rush to demolition-

  • Capture: EQNZ Remembrance, in reply to JacksonP,

    But you are contributing. Both in words, perspective, and apparently baby cheesus.

    Only to selected reciprocating targets!
