Take the Christ out, you're left with mass
Almost, but not quite. You are left with mas, an acronym for Motoscafo Armato Silurante

From the Herald:
But Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson said the public had already had a chance to give its views when the legislation went before a select committee in the last Parliament in the form of a private member's bill introduced by National MP Wayne Mapp.
Don't you see? We have already had our say. There is no point in going over the same issues all over again.

Auckland has a woeful track record when it comes to looking after its heritage and I have often said that developers don't see an old building as anything other than a target.
Don't get me started. I have spent the last few months studying the redevelopment (for want of a better word) of Auckland in the 80s. It was shameful. And it has not really stopped: they simply ran out of old buildings to destroy.
This website of which you speak: do tell more.

With specific reference to physical disability, can one talk of a mobility spectrum? If there is one, all of us occupy varying points on it at various times during our lives, and it might thus be a useful way to realise that these are issues for society as a whole, not just those who society/the media might easily identify as "the disabled".
Having cut my finger today (incident involving bread-knife and failure to appreciate curvature of loaf) and now finding it difficult to touch-type, I take your point. I have edged a little along the spectrum for a while.
Might I also recommend National Radio's One in Five programme.

What'll be Axl Rose's follow up album?
More to the point, will any of us live to hear it?

Could this be the year for 'caverage?'
I guess not. In which case, I will go for "rofflenui."
Shout "rofflenui" in a crowded room
Liquidity's not there. -
poisoning yourself with paracetamol has to be a fairly dumb way to self-harm - leading to a prolonged painful death from liver failure
I used to know a medical student who worked in an A&E unit; she said they were constantly pumping out teenage girls who had taken lots of paracetamol because they had been dumped by their boyfriends and wanted to show the boyfriends how upset they were. The paracetamol just happened to be the nearest pills to hand. Whether they really wanted to kill themselves, or to do themselves any real harm, is another matter.

I was quite impressed that you were not only banging on about Internet but banging on about Community. And look, here we are. In the intervening period, the giveaway CD has become standard for music magazines, as has web content, of course.
For reasons of copyright, as well as those of taste and decency, I did not publish the photograph accompanying the article. This showed you in a sweater tucked into baggy jeans with turnups; you were also wearing a beret. I assume this was during your Acid Jazz phase.

Kyoto is green lipstick on a globalised pig.
I wish I could get that image out of my head.
