  • Hard News: New Lounge Toy Update,

    Research came out in Italy a couple of weeks ago claiming that yelling at your kids is worse than smacking them.

    I guess they do a great deal of yelling in Italy, if life there is anything like Italian films.

    Let's hope they never ban gesticulating. On a slightly more serious note, I have no research to back it up but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing more damaging than *always* speaking calmly to your children.

    would you mind sending me your address again?

    Aw, you... it's done. I had half a mind of posting it here, so that everybody could send me things.

    On the subject of Christchurch being "English", I've just been reading The Shell Guide to New Zealand, a 1969 travel guide edited by Maurice Shadbolt. ('Tis my new favourite book).

    Ohhh... can I borrow it when you're done?

    Don't say things like that, dude. Even as a joke.

    What he actually meant was that McCully is going to reach his zenith and move into what you could describe as a postmeridian phase.

    Better? I learnt this technique at a first aid course.

    (That's from White trash: race and class in America by Matt Wray and Annalee Newitz.)

    Oh snap! But with footnotes. Awesome.

  • Hard News: New Lounge Toy Update,

    I'm still waiting for my telstra clear box to have those extra tvnz channels. :/

    I really thought that by switching to digital with Telstra I'd access the Freeview channels... but no! :-(

    I'm glad you are volunteering because I ain't going near those things, even with gloves.

    I have a very long cleaver.

    Okay, it's a pike.

    To make it look like Christchurch, they opened on two skinheads.

    Christ, that's priceless.
