  • Capture: The Colour Of Spring, in reply to Nora Leggs,

    Spring algae experiment?

    I think it might be a sign that nzlemming's excellent 'Age of Aquariums' is expanding and polarising, er, pole arising...

  • Speaker: Science and Democracy,

    Phew!
    Here's one problem we can relax about...

    US Homeland Security moves to tackle climate change risks
    "Increasingly, we've moved not only from a security focus to a resiliency focus," said Caitlin Durkovich, assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at Homeland Security

    They'll lead the way on tenable urban planning....

    "The challenges are fairly unique in a dense urban environment," said Zarrilli."There is no one single answer to the problem of climate change.

    oh, nevermind...

  • Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to Steve Barnes,

    Hark the Herald Angles...

    The Herald is STILL harping on about Labour...

    When they should be squaring up to the returning rampant Government, asking what THEY will be doing differently, letting THEM know they are on notice, in light of what we now know, and their own reporters reported on...

    But no, they are harrying the weakened bewilderbeest that has been marginalised by the herd... hardly exemplar behaviour.

  • Hard News: The humanity, in reply to Jack Harrison,

    Milk is our money

  • OnPoint: Sunlight Resistance, in reply to Katharine Moody,

    Geriatric or treat?

    Not that I know any other vindictive grandmas – all the grandmas I know (me being one) are loving, caring sorts.

    Welcome to Bolton...

  • OnPoint: Sunlight Resistance,

    Attachment

    “beltway” (where did that come from, anyway?

    New Zealand’s capital, Wellington , is of course Sansabelt

    There, I believe the ‘sphere of influence’ is known as The Thorndon Bubble!
    (despite NBR's push for the American descriptor ahead of The Thorndon Bubble, and 'Bowen Triangle' - which just sounds like Sherwood's Merry Men forming a small percussion section...)

    …perhaps it's to do with the active Film making industry in the region?
    or the soft soaping we get from those inside it?

    ;- )

  • Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Chris Waugh,

    Thanks, Ian!

    You are welcome Chris,
    but best thank <cough> Wikipedia,
    for the fine detail, as I do have
    to check these things, first...

    Wonder how John Key's all important Flag Poll will go?
    and if anyone will chop it down?

  • Hard News: Five further thoughts,

    China has also been importing NZ dairy cows specifically to build up its own herds.
    Shitting me. How stupid are we.

    At last! Revenge on the Kiwis (Teachers?) who smuggled the fruit called "yang tao" out of China in the early 20th century?
    They changed the name to "Chinese gooseberry" and then 'Kiwi Fruit'...
