A ITM final between Waikato and Canterbury in Hamilton next Saturday, then.

Now disused but somehow we can't discard our floral iMac. But I cannot get too sentimental about Apple these days as they have become a bit of a monster--for a brief period a couple of weeks back, they passed Eron as the world's richest company.
I do pine for my Mac at work, replaced recently by a cod PC (our faculty arguing that they can't continue to support Macs). Still can't figure why you have to press three tabs to start the bastard.The best joke at the Edinburgh festival this year; "I had to choose a password with 8 characters, so I chose Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs".

Hard News: 2011: The Year Of What?, in reply to Cecelia,
This is my personal minor earthquake - that a columnist I admire could sympathise with a book written by Ian Wishart and which is pretty obviously biased. Maybe it's a Christian thing.
Yes, I was rather astounded by this too. She wrote that she did not 'know' Wishart; surely she must know about him and his inflammatory ideas?

Or maybe it is the dumb operator! -

Field Theory: How's that working out for…, in reply to Megan Wegan,
I'm still thinking about the logistics of naked swimming competitions.
So am I, now that you have raised the proposition. What particular stroke might be advantaged--the butterfly, perhaps? The drag factor too--do we need to consider some sort of grid starting position?
