I find the exercise of care over a book more attractive. I am of course completely shallow.
No you're not. And while I doubt I'd get the chance to borrow books from Gio, now I'm not sure I'd want to. I have an unread copy of an Ihimaera book you could borrow though, if your kitty litter has run out.

Ahh, second coffee after 2.5 hours on football sidelines and mowing the lawn. Pause for applause... Oh, sorry this isn't Twitter.
I couldn't help but wonder why I'm getting a tax cut when my government is presently obliged to run a fiscal deficit.

Reading: currently working through Banks' "The Steep Approach to Garbadale", which is good so far. But the jacket copy saying "as good as anything he's ever written" does rather sound like it's damning with faint praise... Didn't like Dead Air, though Transition was great fun.
Yes, enjoyed Transition, but Garbadale was not up to his usual standard. [Spoiler Alert] Maybe I don't find families that hunt and live in large country estates that interesting. The Crow Road did it better, and there weren't so many annoyingly entitled toffs.
Reading Jasper fforde's Shades of Grey, and I want Tuesday back. Readable, but not earth shattering. I'm hearing a Mockers song. Go figure.
Bah... what is wrong with me?
Change the sentences around, and all will become clear.
Oh it's Friday, what the hell.

Taika Waititi's Boy. And the subsequent resurgence of the Patea Maori Club and the song Poi E. Apparently I clapped at the end of the segment on Campbell live this week, but as there were no cameras, I'm denying it.
Sometimes it is Ok to just feel good about our little island nation, right?

Which basically shows that strong one party government does not lead to fiscal responsibility.
I'd like to see Singapore on that graph.

I'm not helping. Sorry. Did try to be serious somewhere upthread, but seems the comedy festival is rubbing off<strikethrough> influencing on us.

Pixies. Stop. Pixies. Eng Paragraph.
Did I mention the Pixies?

I do like to serve them up, though ;-)
Thank you -- eight shows a week, two matinees, no cover.
Uninsurable, you mean?

The BSD has a Trident! Oh, no. Is it a sign?

The dilemma now is, if what you want is proportional representation (by whatever scheme), how do you vote in a referendum between AV and FPP?
We seem to have two threads on this discussion.
Just linked to this on the Chip and Dip thread.
