    and the Headless (unfried) Chooks did
    de Gas (krankin) Station...

    Ralph! No, I kept it down, because it was delirious.

    SPQR has provided the backdrop for some of my best nighties out. It strikes me as a bit like Prego (I'm just feeding the ChaCha). It's sort of always been there, and I like it. Take plenty of refluxed friends, thin crust piazzas, mix libelly, and you'll have a wail of a time.

  • Hard News: Everyone's a critic,

    If you go for the former, the Onkyo receivers at JB Hi-Fi are extremely good value.

    Thanks. Was considering the Onkyo. They seem to make some nice gear at not too ridiculous prices. But those beans!!

    The Grove. Perhaps a once every three year thing, or when you turn 40 or something, as was one of the most expensive restaurant dinners I can remember, but was it worth it? And how.

    The quail entrée was dangerously good, but the highlight was the macadamia oiled beans. Simple, but perfect.

    They seem to manage exuberant, and enthusiastic clientèle (was that enough euphemisms?) with calm professionalism and good humour.

    The reviews on their website seem to agree, and the Quail ballotine is described in more detail. They don't really need the publicity, but hey, props where due and all that.

    Now shall I buy that 5.1 HDMI home theatre, as a little birdie recommended somewhere, or go to The Grove for dinner again?

  • Hunting Fails,

    And i really must finish Judith Binney's "Redemption Song, A life of Te Kooti"

    Maurice Shadbolt's Season of the Jew was a worthwhile read on this, IMhO, albeit fictional. Have also found Judith Binney's Mihaia fascinating on Rua Kenena as an eerily pertinent backdrop to more modern happenings between 'The Crown' and Tuhoe.

    More of this needs to be in our history lessons, as you say.

  • Bookmarks: One-shot websites,

    Some Euro rap. Dees Basetape. Not necessarily my ting, but like the calendar music flip thing.

    Found it here. One Page Love.

  • Hard News: How Lovely,

    It's always much better when others... Wait... Is there a better way to say that?

    Anyhoo, well done, and as Gio said, I have dug out Craig's 90 second posts a few times, and appreciated it, but they tend to leave me wanting more.

    Hmm, on reflection, I think I should have stopped about 6 lines back...

  • Southerly: The Problem With Religion,

    Then there's the meteorite theory about the precursors of life on Earth coming from outer space. Amino acids, formic acid and the like being essential for the primordial soup to produce life, Jim, but not as we know it.

    We are the aliens. And look at what we're doing to the planet! He is right.
