Our cat didn't, but we did - it went on and on, and my husband, who loves earthquakes, got more and more excited, watching the clothes swinging on the drying rack. well, it beats watching paint dry!

I agree with Sam and others. Like Russell, I spoiled my ballot on the lawnorder referendum with a very similar comment, but a friend pointed out later that consigned my opinion to oblivion. All people remember is the percentage of valid votes on either side.
If the percentages reported are of the total votes, not valid votes, I'll reconsider, but I don't think so, and anyway, having your opinion counted balances the iniquity/inequity.

Re the statue, thanks Hilary. I'll be in Wellington next month, so I'll seek it out and find out how much it's shrunk!

When I used to pass through that space as a littlie, to visit my gran and auntie, it was vaster at the hall of the mountain king, and I used to gaze up in wonder at Kupe's big toe, which was somewhat larger than my head. Whatever happened to that statue?

I just took The Omnivore's Dilemma back to the library today, so can't quote, but that picture of happy pigs buried up to their pink hams and corkscrew tails in stable manure, working it over in pursuit of grains of fermenting corn, is an abiding one.

Hi Peter, you're on - if I have time! should be a great talk.

Bart, there was an article in he Guardian recently of a cereal strain that had been bred or sported that was Roundup resistant, but I can't find the article in a hurry.
I remember it was being grown in Europe, despite having similar qualities to GM seed.

@George, it's okay, I get it. I think we've had this conversation before on frogblog, anyway.
