It'd be nice to have some proper naval vessels to fire such rockets from. You know, those normal ones every other navy seems to prefer, that are built with a low centre of gravity, and without two big holes in the side to lose boats and sailors out of?

That is the end of the matter.
I pretty much agree with your post, but this sentence somehow makes me feel chastened by proxy. Wrap those toys up in plastic and put them away! I want to see that runway clean for a change! And don't give me that face...

Given what I see here, there's good reason to be ambushuss for the future of New Zullund English.

Stumbled onto a bit of the repeat screening last night. Thought it was a documentary for a second, which shows how far the goalposts have moved since the last time it screened.
Yes indeed. "Holy crap, the Government can zoom down to street level!"

Sam, that one was most certainly mine (and I think Giovanni found the right reference - ta), although it couldn't have been born without the community of skillful wordplay here that constantly reminds me how enjoyable language can be and how great a taonga it is.

Sacha might correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he came up with it in in this comment.
Nope, definitely belongs to Danielle, who coined it in a reply to someone's amusing post related to things Maori, quite a few months back. I've Googled and sitesearched all variants but can't bring up a reference to back my claim - but any PAS admin with a 'view all posts by [X]' function on offer should be able to follow this up.
Pretty please, admins?

More to the point, will any of us live to hear it?
If an album comes out in twenty years' time, and nobody cares enough to listen, does it make a sound?
GnR's next album is apparently in the works already, but they have to knock off their soundtrack for Duke Nukem Forever first.

The notion of a panadol overdose i thought was just silly, but taken in large quantities it can certainly have that effect.
Not even that large - I've been strongly warned against taking even one extra tablet by an acquaintance in A&E, who should know. The clinically effective dose for paracetamol is scarily near to the harmful dose.

Apologies for doublepost...
"Chillax"
This one's not really that new, sadly - I've seen it around for a few years. Nonetheless, awesome.

Liquidity, liquidity, there's nothing like liquidity...
... Our Dollars are entirely bucked;
Our Pounds are lacking quiddity.
In Commerce (and in Finance too)
The balance sheets look fair:
But when they try to operate -
Liquidity's not there!I am so happy to have prompted this.
