I can't even recall what it [The Dominion's similar column from the late '90s] was called anymore.
Neither do I, although I remember it was written under a pseudonym which would have been all well and good had it not been for the same writer -- writing under her own name
Emma Someone, maybe Gilkison - she was at least upfront that the anonymous column was hers.

see Damian at a Strip Club here and here
Wow, who'd have thought he had legs like that!?

"Or, on mature reflection, women tell him they're unavailable because he's a dickhead, and he assumes they're lesbians."
Heh. That reminds me of an old (male) flatmate.

His buzz is surfing.
Dude! Get his opinion on toking & driving!

ahem
Frickin' bizarre.

I have to know where Adam is spending his nights out,
My guess is wherever Adam goes, women tell him they're unavailable because they're lesbians.

Somebody else's problem until then? I had plenty of mates who expected Mr Taxi Man to keep them in their unlicensed bliss, but eventually they wised up
A friend of the family maintained (in the 1960s) that it was far cheaper to take taxis everywhere (everywhere), than to own a car.
And having done that for most of the 90s (with a few instances where I rented a vehicle to go longer distances), I believe the comparison still stands.

(Which begs the question - why don't more of them leave?)
If memory serves, some commenter on Kiwiblog said earlier that in fact, 1 in 4 Kiwis do leave.
So it must be true!

I should point out that my first car was a Morris 1800
That's a big engine for a little car isn't it? One thing that struck me when I got the Mazda, was how much engine cars have these days, I mean, if I opened up the bonnet of the Hunter, I could practically climb in & stand in the cavity next to the (1100cc) engine.
Whereas the Mazda, and cars owned since, the engine takes up every mm of space in the cavity.
the Hunter was built like a tank too - you could stand on the roof & not make a dent.

That reminds me (OT sorry) - but has The Bypass settled down yet? Is it yet possible to cross town in anything near approaching the time it took before the bypass was built?
Just wondering - I've found it a lot quicker taking the longer but more scenic route around the bays. A lot quicker. That's in the weekend though.
