Yeah, but how you gonna build a Facebook group and sell those caps by telling the truth?

National keep saying they want to grow the pi
If you want to grow the pi, then just blow on it.

Now Gio, this is a book thread. Just so you know ;-) Loved your video link by the way. I always wondered how to turn back a page. I was like 'where's the back button?'

Yeah, The 10pm question is one of my fav's from last year. Also, which I think I mentioned many moons ago when this thread started, the Eoin Colfer novels appeal greatly to me, and while my twin daughters (7.10) are devouring that Potter stuff, they couldn't get in to Artemis Fowl.
The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-time is also brilliant in this sense. The eyes of youth are not as cataract and myopic as us old farts, at least in the literary world.
It's so great that this thread keeps coming back. Thanks to SamF for this latest revival.

Anyway, as we are keeping the spirit of the discussion, I agree that while longer than the average post here, it was worthwhile and interesting. Thanks Gordon.

Blocking is a substitute for competent management, and unfortunately that's in short supply
Thank you Sacha. Now you have given me a justification for my indifference to the whole thing.
The fact is, if people were spending all their time on Facebook and it wasn't obvious, then what the hell am I doing? Sitting in the back room with the Beehive security guards? Well, when I'm not playing golf.
Must get that Sydney Bridge novel. Need a compelling read after being lost in Earth Sea for a week or two. Funny that, as I read much longer books in much less time, but with those books I wanted to experience the journey, so took my time.

Umm, was going to try defuse by suggesting the plagiarism committee might want to check if that ends up in a university essay called Education In New Zealand: A Dream Within a Dream, but now I'm just gonna sit and watch the gio-graphical response.
Everyone got their helmets on?

Is there waterpolo in your family?
On the tax cut waterbed? Whoops, cross-thread.

I am petty and contrarian.
I'm with you. Give me more to do, and make my job more rewarding, and when I take a break to (s)troll through some online distractions, it will enhance my overall state of wellbeing and make me more productive.
Hmm, perhaps that's more utopian idealism than contrarian.

Trademe is blocked here (fair enough too!) but will look when I get home.
Being in charge of these things, I suppose I should put in place some filtering to prevent staff spending time on FB, Trademe, Twitter and PAS, but then what would I do?
