Hard News: The Wall and the Paper, in reply to Hilary Stace,
I can understand where Braunias is coming from, but one thing that's occurred to me is that while there is such a focus on Mr Laws, he is getting that very thing that any tantrum and insult thrower wants more than anything else - attention .
My suspicion is that Michael Laws is terrified of being the invisible man. He's done parliament - no going back there - he's been mayor - not any more - he's on the radio and he has a column. These last two things can disappear. He must be very afraid that when he's had the mic turned off on him, and the paper decides he's expendable, that there won't be anything else for him to do.

Well, is that guy asking for a pissed-on shoulder, or what?

Can anyone tell me when the Campbell interview with Ken Ring went on?

Oh yes. Keep your pesky thoughts to yourself, that says.

What very interesting body language and facial signals in the Kemeys interview. Plus the very rushed speech.
I think the man would have wished to be anywhere else but there.
PS Hi Ian. Glad to see your hand again!

Actually, Dyan, I thought the tyrannical psychopath more apt.

OK - here are two animal stories that feature my brother.
I had an elderly female cat, and my brother came to stay. Mrs Daffs was a bit scrawny at the time, well and truly getting on in years, but still liked to rule the roost (she was one of three cats I had). My bro was sitting in the only easy chair in the dining room when the old lady stalked in and sat looking at him. "What are you looking at, cat?" he said, and then went on to talk about how rather bedraggled she was. Mrs Daffs walked across the room, and jumped on to the arm of the chair. She then turned her back on him, lifted her tail, and sprayed him - well, for females it's more of a tinkling - but she got him!
He didn't learn from that, I have to say. Some years later, when I lived in a different house, I had a friend and her old blind blue heeler staying. My brother came to visit again. He was outside, having a smoke when Jane and dog arrived back after a walk. "Hello, Jane," he said, and then added something quite disparaging about the old dog, who was walking past him as he said it. The old lady did a u-turn, sauntered back and sniffed around his foot, gave him a nip to be getting on with, and trotted off after her mistress.
We laughed and laughed. Bro didn't though.
Oh, and on a more sober note, the camels in the car made me very uneasy. I knew someone who went to do the Haj who said that in order to keep the meat fresher, butchers would cut off the legs of camels first. I don't know how long an animal will survive after that sort of treatment, but no doubt they wouldn't be happy.

Yay, me first!
Loved the kittens, all of them!
Thanks. You've made me happy. (Is that enough happiness for starters?)
ETA: Bugger. Too slow.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Russell Brown,
“Michael Laws works for Radio Live.The studio he works in is too small and dark.He needs sunshine to make him happy. He is not alive yet he works for Live radio.He needs to join Special Olympics and get some exercise”
That's real wisdom.
