Cracker: Island Time, in reply to BenWilson,
At the risk of making enormous generalisations, working anywhere in the Southern Suburbs of Auckland, one finds that one is forced to drive more slowly.

Field Theory: Four Years Ago, in reply to BenWilson,
Clearly, you and I need to go to more adult parties, at the same time. I wasn't even aware that smoke was something you did.

Thanks for that Russell. Wonderful, just wonderful.

Whilst I think of it, one person who would have been spectacularly pleased was my friend, Pulusea, who won the ANZ competition to make an ad for them to welcome the world to the RWC, which they are screening on TV. That's him in the front row, with the glasses, beanie, and beard.

Yes.

Well said, Ben, well said. And also, I wasn’t there last night, but from the tweets, it seems as if most people had a wonderful time. I can appreciate that some would have been pissed off not to have been let on the wharf, and outside those gates looked really packed, But I think we all knew that would happen, didn’t we? And didn’t we also know that our public transport system would find it hard to cope? I mean, it’s only about five years ago, that the same system was completely underused, for god’s sake. Give everyone a chance to catch up, I say. Hopefully Joyce will get the message – but I doubt it – and in the meantime, let’s live and learn, and be kind to the people who made it work. The people who were doing their jobs under extreme duress probably deserve a big thankyou.

I think it's a;ll bullshit. There are cause celebres, and then there's shit no-one talks about. I just get sick of it. That is all.

Thankyou Simon, thank you Jackson. That made me very happy. I stopped loving Rod a long time ago, but that brought back a bit of the love for me.

Hard News: Those were different times ..., in reply to Kumara Republic,
Hey! I resemble that statement. In 1978, Rod Stewart was my second boyfriend (Elton was my first).

Oh, Disco. How I love you. I was about to accuse Simon of disco snobbery and then I recalled that a wee while ago, I bought 3 very cheap CDs of "disco songs" from the Warehouse, and when I ripped them onto my HD, I was appalled at myself. They were immediately relegated to the rubbish.
