    The 'shocking mistreatment of children' side? Oh wait, Rodney wasn't there, it's okay ;)

    Not enough poems, Rik?

    Pollution
    It's all around
    Sometimes up, sometimes down
    Pollution
    Are you coming to my town?

    ha!

    When you're that funny on your first post Mr Webber, you're a welcome addition to PAS.

  • Up Front: A Word From the Ministry for…,

    I miss essays..I got an A+ for one on South Park's Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo, on the condition the lecturer was allowed to keep a copy for entertainment purposes.

    And I got an A for one on American Psycho, because the lecturer was too squeamish to read the book and had to take my word for it that my analysis was sound.

    In the course of my BA and MA, I think I wrote about 6-8 exam answers on The Piano, and the same on Heavenly Creatures. The ideal source of default answers to all your exam question needs...

    Lecturers. So much more fun than clients...

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    A couple of months back, before all this annoying finance crash business, National could've released this...

    "If I could give you a bigger tax cut,
    'Cos I hear they're all the rage
    Would it satisfy ya, while actual policy slides on by ya,
    Would you think the ploy was strange?
    Ain't it stray-ay-ange?

    I know
    It's a dog-whistle blow
    But you like it like it yes you do..."

    Apologies for bad Friday parody.

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    I think Groovy made a mistake by staying put, physically (though, as someone who worked there a looooooooooong time back, trying to stocktake and move that behemoth would have been a logistical nightmare).

    Real Groovy was always a destination store, but it became an increasingly isolated destination.

    That Town Hall to K'Road stretch has changed markedly over the last 10 years as the apartments went up, places like the Temple and the Mezze Barr left, and the Link bus became a familiar institution.

    If it had taken over one of those big spaces on K'Road (where Club Physical is for example), I wonder if it would have had an easier time?

    Anyway...shoulda, coulda, woulda. Sad to think it could be gone forever.

  • Hard News: Through the Looking Glass,

    I see Rodney's dropped the yellow jacket on the new billboards! And thrown in a few not-entirely-necessary exclamation marks!

  • Hard News: The odds, and the simply odd,

    Mmmm...plowing through bile. That's a lovely picture for a Friday morning.

    I'm wondering if Wishart's like one of those people with a wonky internal thermostat - you know, the ones that start whinging about the cold when everybody else is quite comfortable.

    Maybe he sees a

    scandal

    , and instantly his little dial registers in the red. Anyone else looks, and the little needle just hovers around standard operating temperature...

    He should see someone about that.
