Jo, to part explain, I am glib though, the Emo clique were walking round in dead relatives clothes scaring the bejeebers out of the little'uns, and they were mean't to be in uniform, apparently part of being Emo is to proselytise. I was amazed at my daughters vehement reaction to the Emo's, but she's a real trooper when people are being hassled. I was trying to push the, we are all different angle and she plumbed for the rules and sensitivity to another's feelings, especially concerning death.
I had to agree with her, sometimes it's easy to lose sight of being human in the midst of a good freedom of expression rant. -
And Beyonce on the cover of Sports illustrated. All the lines are getting blurred, but the kids know the difference between cynical skank ho and right-sexy because they are being told so every day.

How wonderfully...feudal. God, I'm a wet, hope it goes off. We're looking forward to our local A&P Show. I have a confession, I'm in Rodney, no, not like that, Rodney District. John's land, run from Glorious Parnell. The only water we have out here mate is from the tank out the back, if it rains.
So I'm only a wannabe JAFFA, who dreams of one day seeing the bright lights of our wondrous capital and maybe touching the hem of Weliwood royalty, like Jacko. -
I bet hardly any private companies bother with this sort of thing.
Actually (can I say that, being a JAFFA, though born at The Mount and part of the 60's diaspora and having lived...better stop there or I will start to sound like a compensating Weli-woodian).
Some Insurance companies have water stores for workers. I hear tin foil hats are compulsary in Wellington.
Duck and Cover was of course the wonderful strategy to ward off Nuclear Attack, I kid you not, and with a snappy little ditty... -
Better still, create the Bermuda Triangle Turtle Missionary position and ALL your bases are covered.
Duck and Cover, yeah right.
