Hard News: Getting dressed for the party, in reply to Russell Brown,
Personally, I favoured the waterfront stadium ...
I'd almost gotten over that.
Edit: Gotten over the fact it didn't go ahead...doh

Depends on what generates the tsunami
I won't be quibbling about what generated it until after I've got everyone to higher ground.

Caught between falling rocks and a wet place. Earthquake + Tsunami is a pretty shitty combo, bottom line is ... coastal people are screwed. How do you flee when the roads are fucked/blocked? How do you hear you need to if the mobile net is blocked?
I guess flick straight to radio, and just hope they have time to get an alert out. But even then, if you don't have a high point nearby, what can you do? If an earthquake big enough to swamp Rosebank peninsular hit (would need to be HUGE), it's about 3 km to my nearest hill, along only one road, along which about 10,000 live/work/go to school.
That's the horrible thing about tsunamis - they get into every nook and cranny. You're not getting away by hiding under a table. Which suggests to me why so few "on the ground" movies came out from Japan. They're all dead, or they were far too busy surviving to get their cameras out.

Laws is quite a different fish to Paul Henry. He's much nastier. He won't be got rid of so easily.
I predict his downfall will actually come from some stupid thing in his personal life. Take your pick what that will be.

I believe "bloody Yanks" are defensive.
It's an especially confusing and ultimately annoying insult to people from the southern states.

Speaker: Why the disaster in Japan made…, in reply to ,
I wander how many of those where activated after the Tsunami struck?
And how many would have been responded to? But the good thing about those - so long as you are alive, you've still got a chance, they can still find you.
I wonder how clogged low bandwidth channels like CB or VHF got during the disasters? 40 channels sounds like a lot until every single person who owns one starts simultaneously using it.

Between Pt Chev & Te Atatu or the upper reaches?
Between, just coming out of the channel, whose existence I rapidly learned to appreciate.
