  • Busytown: Holiday reading lust,

    A big big love is right, Sacha. I'm the size of a house!

    Waaaaay back when, we discussed effective methods of inducing labour.

    Far be it from me to comment (here's where I stop, right?), but I'm guessing any list on inducement worth its salt would have 'PIXIES CONCERT' in large WELLYWOOD sized letters somewhere in the top 5.

    I'm just saying.

  • Cracker: Wallywood,

    [EDIT: Inevitably, a rather more famous German has already has his say on Youtube - hat tip Hugh]

    Diese Verbindung ist gebrochen.

    Try this. That's about the umpteenth time that video has been used, but I'm still laughing, so carry on...

  • Busytown: Holiday reading lust,

    By the by, finished Eion Coin's And Another Thing last week, and my lasting sentiment is that it should perhaps have been called Why bother?

    Elsewhere there has been discussion of Facebook being a decaf soy latte to Twitters short black. Well, to steal the analogy, AAT was like a Chai latte to HGTTG's double shot Machiato.

    Yes, Chai Latte is not even Coffee.

    Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but I don't see people going round quoting Thor, and his bang bang Maxwell hammer, any time soon.

  • Busytown: Holiday reading lust,

    We're crime show junkies, so I'm wondering how I missed it until now. The starting sequence certainly has a laugh out loud moment;
    "Who shot snot?"

    Must get hold of it, for when the cricket season is over.

  • Hard News: Auckland: where only one man votes,

    In honour of Rodney, I'm calling this The New Accountability.

    And don't forget the word 'Transparent'.

    In fact, it's so transparent, I can see right through it. Wow, the term 'democratic deficit' springs to mind, again.

  • Field Theory: It's a summer get-together,

    I may be in Wellington, but I'm starting to think I should visit the Zoo instead of the Cricket. The wildlife are at least in cages...

  • Busytown: Holiday reading lust,

    Yes this thread has certainly had an Indian Summer...

    Looking forward to re-reading Huck Fin and Tom Sawyer also, before introducing them to our 8yr olds, who are active adventure readers. Or should that be avid? Oh well, they are pretty active about adventures.

    I'm getting into Murakami's Dance Dance Dance. My year and a bit in Japan is replaying itself in my mind as I read about Noren cloth Banners on Ramen shop doors. 'Irashaimase', at full volume as you enter, . 'Go chi so sama desu!' shouted back as you leave, which means 'Thank you for feeding me, and making me full of food. I am happy', which doesn't sound nearly as good, and is way less efficient.

    Oh, and wow, I just found this. One of my favourite musicians scoring music for a movie of Murakami's Norwegian Wood. Sweet!

    Just saw the World Autumn range. There are hounds-tooth Hammer Pants. Will that do?

  • Hard News: Ready for the Big One?,

    Apparently all you need is a fridge. Hold your breath for a while, then back into it. Which movie was that? LMAO.
