In reply to John Campbell's questioning tonight about her own use of the TIA to get a degree in the 1990s, she replied that it was much harder then, she had to start her own university creche.

My bet is that that $9 will go hardly anywhere - maybe a report or two. Hardly enough to buy any land or employ many people. I expect the local bodies and rate payers will be left with large bills. And what are the implications for land already owned by DoC or Ontrack?

And I agree with Hilary
Thanks - I'm going to cut that out and frame it. I don't come across that very often in my life.

Russell - in your upgrade do you think you could give us a key or a link that could turn back time? Half an hour should be enough.
Islander - thanks for your whakapapa stories last night
Re scrabble. I think this is something you get better at as you get older. My mother at almost 90 was a member of a keen group of sharp veteran scrabblers (all women) and after she died we sent her scrabble books to her younger sister (late 80s) who reports that she is getting better at it with age too.
Meanwhile I can hardly spell the word but am waiting for the scarble bug. -
Jason - are there likely to be any participants over 45, or 50 even - apart from the bowling club members wandering through?

Dance of the autochthons
reminds me of another of my favourite words - numinous.
My mother left a lovely piece of writing to be read at her funeral on the theme of numinosity.Islander - hearing about your father makes me appreciate both my parents (both dead now) even more.
Strange how we seem to talk about our parents quite a lot on PAS. And I thought mine were quite irrelevant when I was growing up.

IIslander -Thanks for the reference to that site. I couldn't find the autochthony bit but what a lovely blogsite. Has links to my favourite History Workshop Journal and also I noted Giovanni's Bat Bean Beam with a beautiful recent post on his father.

Islander - I thought of you when I heard the word 'autochthonous' this week - spoken by an MP no less, that learned new Green MP Kennedy Graham.

BTW it's on 7-8 on Sunday nights.

I have just spent a good while trying to find out when and where I can hear Public Address Radio. No help from this site at all apart from being able to hear some extracts from earlier programmes.
So please, in the upgrade could you tell us when and where it is aired and provide a link. I have no idea where Radio Live is on the dial - this is a Radio NZ house, and I strenuously avoid radio with ads - but I see you can listen live through the Radio Live site.
By the way, does Craig tone down for radio?
