    I’d like to hitch a ride on the Tardis and tell my teenage self to brush, floss and take care of the money pit his teeth will turn into twenty years down the track. :)

    And let's not forget our own Public Address Radio's Damian Christie and Paul Deady as they chat with James Griffin about saying goodbye to those voices in his head.

    If I had any money going spare, I’d be mincing off to the Rocky Horror in full Frank-drag. Anyone assuming that I was therefore “sexually available” (which I keep mentally AutoCorrecting to “rape bait”) would be in for considerable disappointment, rapidly escalating to a cha-cha heel in the coochie if required.

    The day I'm back on the market, I won't be adjusting my wardrobe but anyone I think is worth a go will be in no doubt that their attentions would be gratefully received.

  • 180 Seconds with Craig Ranapia - 14th November,

    A school principal should be able to express her frustration (and debate serious matters of policy) without resorting to the kind of rhetoric best left to the more foetid corners of the Sub-Standard Kiwibog.

    And honestly, if I was a parent or teacher at that school I’d think twice about raising any concerns with a principal who goes off like that on her Facebook page. If Ann Tolley is “Minister Hitler,” what kind of Facebook facial would an uppity parent or a student teacher who forgets her place be in line for? How does she treat people who she dislikes, or challenging situations, in person?

    And finally, I’m really far from impressed with Marlene Campbell’s “fuck you” passive-aggressive failure to take any genuine ownership of her behaviour – cheerfully enabled by the school BOT. It was real Paul Henry territory, and I hope parents can expect a little better. A good principal really sets the ‘culture’ of their school, and IMO Campbell just failed.

    Be careful what you wish for, young man. There is someone out there who will Photoshop my head onto Kylie Minogue’s body for a gold coin.

    I can’t have a dragon instead? *looks hopeful*

    You can haz time share on my next kitteh – which will be carefully trained to be a brain-melting mash up of Mephistopheles and Hello Kitty.

    Serious question: I very seldom wear long pants. (In fact the last time was at the last Great Blend.) Would anyone view that as saying anything about my "sexual availability" - and if not, is there anything behind you reasoning besides my gender?

    I'll restrain myself. Just for you -- thankfully any erotic allure is quickly dissipated by the teenage propensity to be irritating beyond reason. The Victorian tradition of packing your children off to boarding school until they could hold their liquor and use a fish fork properly is much under-rated.

    Ah, yes... right about now the North Shore is throbbing with hundreds - nay thousands! -- of slutty boys flashing their lovely legs, shorts straining to restrain their taut beefy thighs, as they flaunt their tanned arms for all to see. If you'll excuse me I need to have a cold shower and gouge my eyes out with a teaspoon.

    Will nobody think about the dirty old gay men!

    Honestly, I don’t think we’re doing our men in embryo any favours by giving them the message that they can outsource responsibility for their sexuality and behaviour to the Madonna-Whores they interact with. Boys will be boys (they can’t help their animal penis brains, after all), but the girls they do it with are dirty sluts who deserve everything they get?

    Not in my house, sister -- this hearth doesn't require an angel.

    I’ve yet to see any empirical evidence that the male human body doesn’t contain enough blood to sustain an erection and full brain function at the same time.
