    Shanghai Lils is just the digs eh?Shame it will make way for a motorway.

    I'd be interested to see where it goes. I never thought I would say this, but I am in love with a bar of all things. Except it's not a bar, really, is it? It's like you walk through the front door, and you are transported to another time and place. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

    I was thinking what a generally really nice bunch of people the PASers are, and interesting to boot. It strikes me this place would be even livelier than it already is, if only some of those lurky readers would just say something once in a little while. Sacha told me - and really? I wasn't interested how he knew this - that there are 40 readers to each post that's made. A little scary, really. I had this vision of people standing in a room in two groups. One yakking at a hundred miles an hour to each other, and the other group? Just listening. Very strange dynamic, and only one you could get away with online I suspect. Cos it is nice not to talk once in a while. Not that I'd know about that, of course.

    Thanks Russell, and Orcon, for a great party. I wasn't there for the speakers, but I did manage most of the rest. It was just lovely to meet so many of you. Even if some people didn't wear nametags. Bloody lurkers. Next time, I will be carrying around stickers and a pen, and you will wear identification.

    Because, not content with being in one place at a time, you are now existing in parallel universes. Anyway, I'm bringing my own name badge. And the rest of you will just have to tough it out.

    Aha Helen! Flushed you out! Will your lovely Ian be along tonight? Mine won't. He's gone to bed so he can be nice and refreshed for the Civic Tour tomorrow.

    Nametags - please , please . One of the things I hate about social doodas is having to go up to people, and ask them who they are. Well, I hate doing it anyway. I am also bummed, Danielle, that you won't be there. Seriously bummed. Some day, my friend, some day.

  • Public Address Word of the Year 2009,

    Honi soit qui mal y pense

    Honte is shame, certainly. As a french speaker, I would say it was what Craig said. It literally means "Shame be who thinks ill thereof". So, yeah.

  • Public Address Word of the Year 2009,

    Is the word journey from this year, or has it been around interminably? I suspect the latter intermanibility.

    Thanks for that, Hannah. What a lovely story.
