  • Hard News: Detritus,

    Hmmmm...

    Despite their origin or indeed because of such I fear for the Monkeys...where do they land ?

    I strongly suspect te Beatles would have been a better band had they chosen nicer guitars.

    WIth respect to the Sony PVR it struck me that you can see how this would fit into a history of design and technology. I would also grant the cult of Mac some grace in this respect. At least they have an identifiable history, what of the the Beige PC ? 20 years and one still looks pretty much like another.

  • Hard News: The son that got away,

    At this point I’m really struggling to understand the socio political landscape of Whanganui –

    i) A gang problem so great that specific gang patch byelaws are required (dubious merit notwithstanding).
    ii) A community that votes for Lhaws.
    iii) Intelligent local debate run by 10 year olds ?

    Perhaps they would enjoy a bit of Andrew Williams ?

  • Hard News: No Surprises,

    Mygraduation to the ranks of grey power is consistently haunted by the following nightmare:

    My grandparents and my parents enjoying their dotage with the odd tea dance:

    Will I really have to duplicate this ?

    Or something else perhaps...

  • Field Theory: In Tauranga, my Mum was yelling,

    So I guess I'm the only one who would link the Ferns current misery to the development of the Trans-Tasman competition ?

    I can only wonder at what he chose to imitate instead.

  • Hard News: Home, straight,

    So let me get this right - people shouldn't condemn homophobia when it is based on a subjective experience of parental inadequacy ? because it is a diverse point of view ?

  • Hard News: Home, straight,

    So you think the police might be a bit suspicious of my mate who likes to juggle knives on the bonnet of a moving car ?

    On the Kieth Slater thing - There is an ugly logic which prevails in these cases that appears to operate like this:

    This is bad so the scientists must be wrong.

    Can anyone alse see a link with the herceptin debate here ?
