Hard News: Bishop Brian: It's worse than…, in reply to Sacha,
Steve Braunias has an entertaining crack at political slash-fic
I giggled. But I felt dirty afterwards.

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Megan Wegan,
I wish to disagree that smoking is "feminine".
I see your Malboro man, and raise you a Holly
And I raise you both with a Lauren Bacall.
My hand, I believe.

some of us manage to get through the day without being outsmarted by our genitals
Contains a link to this interesting (but somewhat dispiriting) piece on the UK slutwalks.

Unlike standard patents, innovation patents in Australia don't get seriously examined until they are challenged, though. And that one did get revoked.....

Southerly: One Hundred and Thirty-one…, in reply to George Darroch,
Big potholes appearing in roads in Auckland, and not being repaired. (Although it may be that I was looking for it, in the knowledge of cuts). Roads that fall apart are a pretty good visual indicator of the state of public spending in a country.
There has been a lot of work put in to Lake Road, Quay Street and the Newmarket viaduct, though, to name three big road I can think of off the top of my head. Although that may all be accounted for in last years budget.

Field Theory: Gruts, in reply to Ross Mason,
Heh. I remember a Tony Hancock piece years ago where he went to the tailor anf he was asked "How do you dress"
I was taught that when one's tailor asks this question, a gentlemen should instruct him to make the legs roomy down to just above the knees.

Hard News: The Political Lie, in reply to Alex Coleman,
What is the truth anyway? You could ask a philospher, but they are like lawyers, and another could be found to say something different. My truth is 100% pure in comparison to other truths. Explaining is losing, perception is reality, forever and ever amen.
'Did you know those captured suspects were going to be tortured when you handed them over?' is not a question that can be answered with 'What is the truth anyway?'
Not without looking like an ultra-evasive slimebag, anyway.

Southerly: That CERA Rumour, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
London manages an outdoor ice rink, although it has slightly cooler average winter days and a lot less insolation.
Insole-ation? Well, due to the earthquake, there are more fallen arches in Chch.
Did the temperature just drop in here? I'll get me coat.
