Up Front: What if We Held an Election…, in reply to Emma Hart,
My friend who works for the Ministry of [Redacted] and I were once asked to leave a bank because we were standing in the middle of it, while waiting for a friend, pointing at security cameras and obviously plotting.
I have real trouble not doing that at airports. A check-in person once very sternly told me "We don't find those kinds of jokes funny."
I can also tell you that Australian customs staff do not find jokes about apples amusing.

Speaker: The Public Broadcasting Imperative, in reply to Tom Semmens,
The way to contain the contagion that is now TVNZ is to wait for the TVNZ Christmas party and then nuke the site from orbit.
I know you’re being flippant, but for all its faults, there are a lot of dedicated, talented people in that building who really don’t deserve that kind of violent rhetoric.

For those who can't go on the tour, CERA has uploaded a video of it. There's also an MP3 of the commentary (from Warwick Isaacs) for people going on the bus who want to listen to it.
I should point out, I managed to make it through to Colombo St before deciding i could probably watch the whole thing later.

When I worked at Ballantynes, the Chinese place in that food court sold fried rice for $2. Still the best hangover breakfast.
And I was not arguing!

I wish I had something to say, besides *hugs*.
But I don’t. I have been avoiding chch, not because I don’t want to see y’all, nor particularly cos I am scared or dreading it. More because it feels so hard and I don’t want to come down and be all “earthquake tourist”, and end up making it worse for you guys. Plus, Christchurch hasn’t felt like home to me for years, even though it’s “my city”. I don’t know if I can take it feeling even less like home than it did when I came down in February.
Plus, I really don’t know if I can bear a Christchurch without the Dux.

Hard News: The Sound of Music, in reply to Stewart,
Except the mariachi trumpet, which I am quite enjoying.
I HATE it. The game I went to, I got more and more annoyed with it, and the annoying Olé ! that goes along with it.
I don't understand what relevance it has to rugby.

Hard News: Where are the foreigners?!, in reply to Amy Gale,
I even have an “alien number”, to go along with all my other UIDs.
Does that mean I am _actually_ performing one of the aforementioned alien weddings?

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Emma Hart,
Later we will take you out onto the Deck Outside Emma’s Room in Russell’s House for the 2am smoke conversation. That’s where it’s all happening.
That's always my favourite part of any PAS gathering.

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Rich Lock,
F’nar.
It seemed to fit the general tone.
