  • Radiation: This Is Not My Dan Carter,

    Looks nice in the undies, though. Any chance of him getting out of them? Ahem. Be that as it may, doesn't the whole scenario for this production remind one of the classic Patrick MacGoohan series The Prisoner (1968)?

  • Hard News: Ideology for Evidence,

    Could I suggest some footwork on this- such as tactical voting in Ohariu-Belmont and especially Epsom to dispose of Messrs Dunne, Hide and their satellite parties...? I'd like to see National and the Maori Party conduct a stable second Key term on their own...?

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Of course, I'm old enough to remember when Pat Bartlett
    and SPCS campaigned against making spousal rape a
    crime. back in 1982. At some point, I really must head down
    to the National Archives and provide some embarassing
    historical research about rancid bigotries long since past...

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Russell, you poor thing!

    Take large amounts of caffeine immediately,
    or failing that, chocolate, to wash the acrid
    taste of sock con nincompoopery from your
    ravaged throat!

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    I was being ironic, dearheart. Or sarcastic. Sorry,
    should I have said chronometrically overadvantaged?
    Temporally challenged? Perceptually obstructed? No,
    wait, that's one of my euphemisms for sock cons, damn...

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Or, let me paraphrase that, especially given dear little Lucia is scoping out this website and has just commented on it on that very thread...

    'cliche used to justify voicing of discredited, hackneyed and archaic unsubstantiated prejudices, usually voiced by an encapsulated religiously biased non-entity who has trouble dealing with secularisation, social change and transformations in civility and sensibility."

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Oh dear...Andy Haden doesn't seem to realise that it's now the twenty first century as opposed to the nineteenth, the great chronologically overendowed pillock.

    Really, though, don't his troglodyte and sock con defenders really highlight the vacuity of that favourite hackneyed right-wing cliche, 'political correctness?'

    It looks like we can add another operational definition to the pile already available- 'cliche used to justify voicing of discredited, hackneyed and archaic unsubstantiated prejudices, usually voiced by a dyspeptic senior citizen who has trouble dealing with social change and transformations in civility and sensibility."

  • Hard News: And some cat from Japan ...,

    I'm curious that no-one has brought up the rather frightening
    subject of Oscar the British bionic cat (as if the world's cumulative fish resources aren't already endangered enough. Has horrid mental flash of mog getting far too impatient waiting for fish and ripping off fridge door..)

  • Hard News: Friday Beep Test,

    CR:
    Yes, but the problem is, Abbott looks good in speedos but virtually nothing else...

  • Radiation: Better than Twilight,

    Given what I've read about it, more like Skins gone metahuman!

    Reminds me, Russell, what did you think of the JJ character in
    Skins S3/4, given one of your own kids has Aspies?
