well, public anger is rising. spotted just around the corner from the wellington police station, pasted to the ground.
A3 poster, "...the we did her with a bottle"
has "0800 BAD COPS" and a little description of the fun stuff you can hear about on the chat line.
am thinking that won't last the day.

damn... system has been seriously sluggish for the past two days.
juha. depends. my telstra connection was "5 down, 3 up".
i averaged about 3.5 down, 1.5 up.
but compared to ihug and woosh that was a japanese bullet train.

3410, i know someone from the mount who was put away for a year in '78 on trumped-up charges.
i'd very interested to see if these two had any involvement in the "investigation".
might be writing myself a wee OIA request.

..... damnit.... now you make it sound interesting...
might leave it for weekly dvd tho.

Ring Telstra and say "Telecom and iHug say 12-14 days, how fast can you do it?" It's amazing how a technician frees up when you mention the competitors.
that's exactly why i went ihug, telstra had said TWENTY DAYS to get a line connected, and ihug (under)promised 5-7.
it's becoming like the 80s again.
how the hell can a company make 3-digital million in profit, but not offer a service agreement worth a goddamn?

"the queen" = "propaganda movie"
you know the old duck was jumping for joy when diana got taken out.
diana: "i want to be the queen of hearts"
real queen: "my arse... you'll get yours missy..." -

was with telstra, and loved it. had used woosh and ihug since coming back to nzl and both were, in a word, dodgy.
won't use telecom on principle.
moved house, but have no cable (heritage building). so, have to go back to ihug. they said, "5-7 days till installation".
but no. telecom said, "fuck that, we'll install the line when WE want to".
12-14 days to installation, and still waiting.

Jack Daniel's is a sour mash whiskey. Bourbon is from Kentucky, like Jim Beam
my mistake!
must have been the sugary-sweetness of it that fooled me...

Laphroaig and Lagavulin: both are heavily peated and coastal, although Laphroaig is more pungent and oily to the Lagavulin's dry elegance.
am i snob for thinking that people talking in this way is a good thing? i say. "three cheers for talking about food and booze!"
that, and jack daniels is a bourbon. it deserves to be drunk by sailors. hairy sailors with bad teeth. roaring, hairy sailors with bad teeth.

and here i was, thinking 'peaty' was a good thing for whiskies.
goes to show, i'm low on the totem pole on learning about these things.
sigh... to the pub!
