Smoke and mirrors...
Not so much Caucusobfuscation as Double Bunkum
I guess they'll be "topping-and-tailing" by 2010 then...I agree with Sacha that more needs to be done to restore hope and self esteem in the ccommunity.
Why would you cut night classes and special needs schools (like Aorangi Primary in Chch) just to save money - the psychic equivalent of boring holes in the lifeboats...The country needs a heart and a brain, with less Testosterone and more Serotonin & Dopamine... 8- )

Meanwhile back at the McVicarage...
"I cannot contain myself..." ejaculated Mick the Vicar,
"I think the purple velvet restraints suit you best!"
purred and preened the actress...Speaking of restraining and constraining:
Containers are for Shipping Goods !
ergo Sewers are for Kipping Bads......So let's just stack a whole bunch of
these on each other... voila - Hokey Pokey!

The Great Stone Belt... or a renal smack?
Isn't modern medicine wonderful...? and the marketing... !
I mean a kidney stone dissolver called Ural named after a Russian Mountain range (itself meaning belt of stones and one of the oldest ranges on the planet)I'm guessing the connection is in the entropic grinding action, as great mountains become boulders, small stones, grit then dust - all things must pass - carried by gravity fed liquids to
a loo vile pain - much like Canterbury really... : )Did your GP not have any suggestions for sonic solutions to your crystallising calculus problem? I'm surprised the Gordons / Bailterspace don't have a song called Shock Wave Lithotripsy or HDU's Metamathics maybe.
But seriously, Russell commiserations on your unexpected IV League induction and all the best for a rapid recovery...
Here's the relevant Seinfield episode to enjoy...

Meanwhile over quarter of a century ago...
...in a small (but perfectly formed) laboratory, Professor Wylie places another of those new fangled colour photocopies on the slab and pulls the lever... watch and enjoy The Bride of Frankenstein unearthed by the NZ Film Archives (watch our for the dust) - with its uncannily prescient Knox en L'hopital bed shots : ) (Thinking of you Chris - onwards and upwards!)

Seas the daze - I don't mean to carp...
...but something is a little fishy...
I hear the words "Cruise Ship Terminal" and "Party Central" - richly evocative of a golden era!
Redolent of boom times or just conveniently mentioned in the same context...Is there any hard information that there are Cruise Ship visits associated with the brief window of the Rugby World Cup?
Hasn't Wellington just downgraded its International Cruise Ship terminal to a minimal enterprise reconfigured with a few shops and apartments attached? A private and public partnership of some sort? - Bodes well as a big public earner then...
By all means open up the waterfont - (take a kid fishing!) - but does anyone have any idea of what John Key's idea of a Party might be? - I personally shudder to think (another round of Pass the Parcel or Party Favours anyone?)
All he has really done is say "let's buy some already publicly owned land and have a party on it while the RWC is (briefly) on" with no further input or direction - such arrant abuse of power and process...
Who pays for the "pay for view" access to live TV coverage of the games?
How does this impact on all the other small businesses - bars, restaurants, food bars, etc that have been promised an alleged huge windfall with the RWC tourist dollars?
Personally I think we've been sold a pup with the whole RWC concept - and who cleans up the litter?

Russell - fabulous oral history...
Great you mentioned (and credited) DBGB (that's Debbi Gibbs to the rest of ya) - when is she gonna do a spot from the Big Apple (or wherever she is these days...)?
I still remember helping out on the first Books of BiFiM and Chris Knox's and Dave Mitchell's great graphix for that radio rag and BFM gig and album covers .. and wonderful nights (and Saturday afternoons!) at the Windsor - when I was either on the door or in the crowd...
And don't forget to mention that photgrapher Chad Taylor's new novel The Church of John Coltrane is only available in French in France (they really are a bunch of world beating winners!) no takers in the English or Kiwi world - losers...
,,, and yes that John Cale gig at the Gluepot was pretty wonderful wasn't it ...
- I was side of stage and his piano set was life-changing, hell the whole night was... Doug Hood should receive an award for bringing virtually all living members of The Velvet Underground thru NZ at some point - as well as many other crucial acts.
Speaking of City Gates - do you remember that BFM/Headless Chooks Cricket game that went too long and we were all locked in the park after twilight...?
