  • Hard News: It's In the Kete!, in reply to Geoff Lealand,

    Also cannot abide the smell and appearance of shell-fish. Once gagged down a raw oyster because people kept going about how sublime they were but it was horrible.

    Think I've shared this with at least Islander before, but I've always loved slimy shell-fish.

    At a wedding in Te Kaha in 2009 the table was full of the standard sea food offerings like crayfish and oysters, but there was also a full bowl of fresh kina.

    At the end of the dinner there was still half of it left, so one other guest (a cameraman who'd been filming the wedding) and I sat around the bowl chatting, and polished off a fair few of the remainder.

    Living in Japan it would also be difficult, or at least unfortunate, if you didn't have a taste for such things. Fish roe, sea urchin and eel were among my favourite dishes, when I had the budget for them.

    Completely off the topic (and because there is no current sport thread): great game by the Chiefs over the Crusaders last night.

    They look the business, don't they? And SBW, dare I say it, is maturing?

  • Capture: Two Tripods, One Night, in reply to Jos,

    Great shots Geoff, really like them, you could do a feature on Capture maybe…

    Yes, good call. Although Geoff has been working on a collection of photos of classic New Zealand cinemas for us (hopefully), which we aim to feature here at some stage.

    Of course we'd be pretty thrilled if you wanted to do a feature post here too. Should I send you the three hundred ideas I've had so far?

    For example, we have a lot of keen gardeners and flower lovers in the mix. ;-)

    Thanks for sending these in Geoff. Foreign correspondent.

    Have been missing the Roamin' thread, TBH, so giving this one some meandering themes is all good with me.

    Keep 'em coming.

  • Capture: The Robots Are Here!,

    Fair enough. They do make perfect Robot heads, so not entirely without merit. Always worth a second look, eh? ;-)

    Nice one. Is that a new kind of hanger? Not seen them before.

    These are awesome Sofie. Wish I had more to respond, but they need scanning attention. Being lazy, I guess.

    Waterfront Museum Sing, from above.

    Guess that is an expensive pool with a view.

    Guess so, but for one night, all food, drink and access to the pool included, plus breakfast, didn't seem too extravagant at the time. Compared to say this. In fact, not even close.
