Hard News: Satire's shooting star, in reply to Russell Brown,
If you’re at all interested in these issues, you should see it.
We had a pool going at work as to how you’d promote this one, I was convinced it might be something like:
"As most of you ended up forking out about $100 each to fund this war, It’s a must see"
Too objectionable? Oh well, just another $2.50 down the drain. At least I sweetened the pot.

Hard News: The Treasure at the End of…, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
The only argument that seemed to sway them was "it would stop people following my entire scientific publishing record".
You could give "I'm Chinese/ Cambodian/ Muslim" a shot. Or If all else fails "..Belgian".

Capture: Got the blues, in reply to ChrisW,
I love those days that can't quite make up their mind, those ti kouka look fierce enough to scare even the most belligerent weather away.

Blue thread doesn’t deserve to die – but here’s a challenge, where are the blue skies today?

Hard News: Media3: Panic or Peril?, in reply to Hebe,
Parents like myself
I have a lot of respect for that approach Hebe. In my school homeroom, conversation was all about WWF and the NRL interrupted by impromptu wrestles.. it makes me kind of wish I'd had Ben's sexy friends, but that would probably have involved going to Catholic school so.
Anyway there was this one kid whose dad was our English teacher, they didn't have a TV, which was as you say 'strange' and to be frank, the kid didn't socialize too well, Dan was approachable but also very very quiet, understandable considering the social currency of the day. Obviously he wasn't one of the it kids.
By the time the last day of school rolled round most of us had vague ideas of who we were and what we wanted to do and he was by then almost an afterthought in the social equation, except that on that day Dan Goldsworthy bowled up juggling on a unicycle. Masterfully. It was mind blowing; so hoorays for the MSM and its very sexy sporty conditioning thing but life seems to have a whole lot more to offer. I've never owned a TV as a result. Was that rantish? Just wanted to share, apologies for the length. I mean there's sex, there's sexy and then there's some guy frotting a lamp post and a billion eyes fixated on him.
