Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to giovanni tiso,
ignoring the signs of the apocalypse
Goddammit dude, what did I tell you?

Hard News: Is that it?, in reply to Che Tibby,
if people can still work, they damn well should.
We did bring in old age pensions for a reason. 'Keep working until you drop dead' should be an option rather than a necessity.

Hard News: When the Weather is the News, in reply to Russell Brown,
The precipitation forecast maps suggest it’ll kick in sometime around midday.
Ah, winner. Just the time I thought about heading out to replace my oh-so-fortuitously empty gas bottle.
I probably DO need a working stove at some point today, though...

I know Aucklanders must seem mildly ridiculous to the southern latitudes, but it last snowed in central Auckland *before World War II started*. Yow!

(Also: fucking hell, David.)

Hard News: How I love the ladies ..., in reply to recordari,
all our girls like trying to sing it
My husband actually does a pretty good job on that one. Falsetto FTW!
(We also like singing the theme from Mahogany to the boy when he's crying about something ridiculous. It never *stops* him crying, mind, but it makes us feel better.)

Hard News: How I love the ladies ..., in reply to 3410,
Dude. I thought I was the only person on earth who loves 'Peanut Duck'! Are you me??
(It's on the box set One Kiss Can Lead To Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost and Found, which, if you are that way inclined, is a treasure trove of lady-lovin' things. Including my all-time favourite version of 'You're No Good' by Dionne's sister Dee Dee Warwick.
She sounds like a YELLING ROBOT. With her badass robot backing-vocalist pals. Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh! HEY HEY!)

Glad to have you on board. I have some literature.
I'd like to note belatedly that if you start liveblogging the apocalypse again I will be inventing a Fingers in Ears Lalalalala Machine and utilising it quick smart. Bloody dystopians.

the idea that you needed to pay when you were sent a txt was a massive barrier
They still charge to receive an overseas text - something I discovered when I used my NZ phone to text Americans last December. Pffffft. Sorry rellies.

Busytown: What was lost, in reply to Rich Lock,
Heh. I forgot that line. That film is so fucking ace.
