Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy, in reply to Simon Grigg,
So if an album wholesales for $10, the writers get 80c divided by the number of tracks.
Multiplied, surely?.
And @ Peter Graham
Copyright on recordings made in the 60s is going to expire over the next decade, so Ray Columbus is going to lose his royalty income if the recording copyright term isn't retroactively extended.
One has to wonder if it is still pertinent to inform people that someone is a Mod. Yeah?. Yeah.? Yeah?.
Fellas, she was once in drag,
But black leather caught her eye.
After being rocker for a week,
She's a mod and I wonder why.I also doubt that Terry Beale gives a toss either.

Hard News: Unwarranted risk, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I didn’t see any corresponding data on local body assets per person.
Why would they mention that? It's not like it helps their cause.
Jarvis Coc..
Hang on, there must be an acronym by now. How about J.C.said...? -

Through Omaha? Oh, yes, I like it.
Trouble is it won't run through there. If we are talking Puhoi to Welsford, then we are talking about removing those annoying trucks from the Holiday Highway from Auckland to Omaha (who the fuck called it Omaha? what is it? a WWII beach head?)
Omaha will become that place where you can escape from all the shit of the working klass, trucks an' all. -
Hard News: A storm in any port, in reply to Andre,
As a long-time resident of both Warkworth and Waikanae I think the former’s roading problems could be fixed by a rail link. Imagine the number of tourists who’d be keen on a Matakana day trip by train?
Do you mind if I refer to you as a visionary who’s ideas could be the foundation of a district plan? Because this is the sort of thing we should be looking at as opposed to the short term increase in profits for owners of transport companies.
Oh, hang on, there’s some cunts with dollar signs in their eyes again. -

And how come there is no connection being made between the dock workers and the Mfat employees? Surely exactly the same principles are at stake in both cases?
Indeed. I advise everybody still breathing an honest breath to join a Union. If you think Unions are a bad thing then Jarvis Cocker had a point.

I thought it was a temporary structure to hide the tanks until the rest of the Tank Farm redevelopment can occur
So, a waste of ratepayers money then.

I was recently reading up on the 1951 Waterfront Dispute. Scary how much of what is written up there is still true today.
Not scary really, those with power have always abused it and when the workers apear to have any power whatsoever it is seen as a threat to "civilisation".

“leaking like a sieve with massive holes in it”
Oh I do love the smell of a good tautology in the morning.
Aside from that. Can someone, anyone, explain this monstrosity that we paid for down in Slimepool Park?
The Bridge into the void: This picture shows the "bridge" from its outer staircase. You can follow that structure all the way down to the silo where another staircase awaits you. That's it. Maybe I just don't get it...
I mean, why do we need a thing to climb up and look over things we could just walk around, I don't get it either.

Hard News: A storm in any port, in reply to Joe Wylie,
One of the most memorable aspects of the Australian dispute was the restraint shown by state police.
I think we will see similar things happening here. With jonkey’s latest offering of Steven Joyce, CEO of NZ, as the head of a “Super Ministry” I can see a lack of interest in supporting the “Powers That Be” coming to a Town near you soon.
With Police expenditure on the cuts list I can’t see a lot of enthusiasm for slapping down the ” Ünderclass”
