  • Up Front: Making a List, Not Bothering…,

    Does mark taslov actually *know* what child pornography is?

    It aint photos of naked kids.
    It is photos/video streams of raped and otherwise molestested - frequently tortured(as tho' rape wasnt torture enough) - kids.

    I spent 5 years of my life on the Indecent Publications Tribunal, and we did have contact with the visual stuff (the now-Chief Censor was also on that Tribunal) as well the graphic or written stuff.

    Sam F - it seems mark taslov is making 'this case' - and I really wonder about his motives in doing so-

    I think we should just forget the last 3 lines of his post - they're definitely in huffdom territory.

    I've kepy special bottles for years&years - sounds like it will be that way if I can lay my tentacles on a bottle of Port Ellen-

    (sometimes sniffing - or a tiny sip - is enough...)

    Peter - yeah - but I draw the line at chlorinated water (I'm highly allergic to chlorine ) or other people's cigarette ash (I didnt smell any cigars - I've never experimented but I think tip-ash from one of my really good cigars might be - an interesting addition.) Home here, good old Big O water is what everyone gets (no chlorination, and *very* few contaminants . OK, the occaisional drowned possum but-)

  • Hard News: Onwards and upwards,

    I'd never seen Paul Henry on screen before...it was like watching a chickenshagger try to be funny about his bestiality. None of it worked. And his news co-host should've just spat at him and left the desk.

    No wonder TVNZ is losing its viewers in droves...

    I lurve the way BenWilson says, apropos Danielle's reasonable - indeed contained & quite stringent commentary -"I've just had to put up with a lot attitude from you all day"---anybody hear daddy calling kid out? Tho' I'm not sure that isnt kid stamping it's foot-

    anyway, the feedback to BenWilson's almost-wholly self-involved statements has been awesome - thank you everyone else! I've learned quite a bit (and onsent some posts to family members.) Cheers, sweet dreams-

    Thank you Raffe Smith - that is now on my 'to obtain' booklist.

    And Sacha - Port Ellen is now top of my list of new joys to try - thankyou both!

    Uh, highly tech. query Peter - maybe better addressed to your wife?

    That's *white* pepper?

    (And a really good Lagavulin or Talisker - just having heard screams of
    disagreement & "Waste!" in the background - is a perfect enhancment to such a good rich fish like salm n...)

  • Speaker: A day or two at Dramfest,

    Peter - 3 things:

    I am obliged for your wife's salmon & whisky cream recipe! The salmon run (in at the lagoon mouth, up through Zala's Creek, into MacDonalds where the redds are constructed) is just about over but I know there are some fresh steaks around-

    my Nanna, Orkney Islander tho' born here in the 1890s, was a sworn teetotaller & a Wee Free Kirker, and never drank above a shandy BUT whisky was always in the house, and as a kid, I remember being given a mix of lemonjuice, honey, and -yep - whisky for colds. For flu', you also got an aspirin...it wasnt a drink you see, it was a medecine.

    You & family may have a chance to try her venison stew:

    "2 backsteaks m'td (which I take to be 'marinated') in w. (which I know to be whisky) for 2 hours: drain, flour, briskly fry in butter w. onions until browned;bring to a simmer with barley, carrots, and later, peas (dried suff.(ice - I assume.)) until tender."

    She's cheating - I know she used marrow as well, and there were definitely pot herbs. But I have fun trying to recreate her stew (red deer are both vermin & sought after here - they literally come into the settlement.

    Yep, I noticed the water jug: sometimes it was outadetap/chlorinated, and at least twice it had ash floating in it. But I loved the total lack of pretension over whisky!
