Hard News: We are all Twitter, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
The sense of solemn occasion would be harmed.
Boohoo. The Act-ing up party (ies) might make this solemnity of which you speak a case of wishful thinking, with or without the help of social media.
We are all Twitter!
I'm not.

Oh, go on...
EAT: It's a happening thing, in case the pendants are looking, but nice segue in any case.

Hard News: Three months after, in reply to Hebe,
EQC alone has 40 reinsurers. Each of them has subsequent reinsurers. Cats to be herded. A phenomenal challenge for the world’s largest ever insurance event. (After the May 23rd deadline passed, EQC had received 344,364 claims, with 510,000 individual claims in that. Those numbers are far higher than Hurricane Katrina, higher than lowly insured Japan.)
That is both staggering and sobering. Not something that will just be resolved by rhetoric.

Geographical distance may play a small part too. How does Argentina fair on the international stage?
According to IMF, New Zealand 24th, Argentina 62nd in nominal GDP per capita. Yeah, not comparing apples with apples, or even perhaps fruit, but they don't have any complaints on the population front (40m).

I woke up with Tainted Love in my head and no one to blame.
And then I remembered the Cults.
PS. If you’re wondering how I got there, sing ‘baby baby’ behind the intro. Love this song, but.

In a claw back to previous weeks, I've been desperately wanting to hear SJF So Long, Marianne for some reason, but can't find it to beg, borrow, or legitimately download for money, anywhere.
So in the mean time, here's the original.

Hard News: Friday Fever, in reply to Simon Grigg,
Unfortunately, like so much of its era, absolutely unavailable anywhere.
Yes, except, I just scored Another Day on 7" with Head Over Wheels off Trademe for $10. Collector in Christchurch seems to be having a sale.

have riled Hollywood insiders.
Best we don't rile the Hollywood Insiders. It's the Illuminati, don't you know?
