  • Island Life: Bye, bye, you peculiar guy.,

    I'm actually quite fond of the oft-overlooked Relayer

    Relayer, all the dying cry before you!

    Yeah - like the thermos flask that keeps hot things hot & cold things cold. How does it know?

  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    you've got every chance of moderating any policy with which you have an issue

    Oh and to follow-up, surely the way you moderate something is with mod points? How do I earn mine?

  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    you've got every chance of moderating any policy with which you have an issue

    That's what I hear, but I'm yet to work out how without leaving my keyboard. Coming from an IT background what I want is a web FAQ or wiki page saying "How to moderate any policy with which you have an issue, using perl".

  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    Maybe then we should all join ACT?

    Like I said, the hard option. Although as has been pointed out, this might actually work :-)

  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    (Green party members who might be lurking out there: this voter is one Kedgley away from joining your party.)

    The one good thing I've found about membership is that I get the press releases early, allowing me to get the cringe reaction over and done with before extracts turn up on the blogs.

    The hard answer is to join, and then work towards influencing the tone of discourse.

    Maybe I should start going to cell^Wparty meetings...

  • Hard News: The Social Retail,

    Some ideas on how to deal with the on-going feijoa glut would be welcome

    Whatever happened to "put them in a plastic bag and hang it off your letterbox for passers-by"? And why are they so expensive to buy, in the unlikely event that you crave some, and your neighbours don't have a bag on their letterbox?

  • Hard News: The Social Retail,

    Balmoral Liquor on Dominion Rd has an extensive range of Wines and Spirits and many foreign beers sold also as singles

    Dominion Wines and Spirits is also surprisingly good on the foreign beer front, I can't speak for the wines.

    Chef Co. which is a fantastic Lebanese food outlet that does shwarmas and all manner of products freshly made on the premises each day

    I don't know about you, but Chefco/Cedar Cafe seems to me to get a little less fresh every year. My current favourites from there are the cheap imported tinned goods, fried eggplant, dolmades etc..
