    How about Conversation the Jane Austen Way

    Jeez Craig! You need to put up a warning before posting Austen. I stopped before the first comma, but now I feel all stabby.

  • Hard News: Little pieces of a big picture,

    I don't know whether or not to thank Danyl for drawing attention to this hairball of WTF-ness from Com-Post political editor Tracy Watkins.

    LOL! The most interesting thing about that story are all the comments telling her to STFU and let the authorities focus on actually helping. Strangely sane comments.

    Turns out, I've got a bit of a problem with their editorial too.

    As much as I hate the expression Nanny state, it seems that this is exactly what the editorial is crying out for.

    Civil defence procedures are intended to work without ministers. Even if every single minister had been on a week-long trip to Incommunicado, the emergency response would have been exactly the same.

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    It is a rather dramatic analogy, but I think it is fair.

    Really? Smoking is on par with rape in terms of what's morally acceptable?

    Is there any significance in the digital clock reading 3.33am when he got the phone call in the middle of the night?

    Wasn't that the time when the guy woke up every night in Amityville Horror?

    in 'popular movies' if you smoke you're either weak-willed and neurotic

    or a Chief Medical Officer ;-)

  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    Here, researchers at the Otago School of Medicine are calling for...

    Always with the calling for something! How do you call for something anyway? Half the news on TV seems to be of someone or other calling for something. I think I'd like to call for a few things myself.

    Anyway, that internet! It's turning us all into smoking child-pr0nographers. I call for protection!

  • Random Play: So. I'm off Te Radar again,

    ...and that having happened just about 100 years ago

    I can only assume that's a typo for 1000 years ago

    Possibly relevant - Apple livestreaming their event tomorrow

    However -

    The segregation of the Net haz started!
