Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to giovanni tiso,
The definition of Strike Breaker may just be the most fabulous sentence in the history of the English language.
Agreed! And can I lament the shortage of umbrellas in my part of town at present?

Emma, hello! Congratulations on The Stroppery, I love it already. And I hope you get so many fun and constructive and interesting comments that the nasty and stupid ones get swept away in the flood of awesomeness....
I also love your flapper pictures in the masthead. A friend just sent me a link to this Flappers' Dictionary, which is truly the duck's quack.

For anyone who has somehow missed this gem:
And thanks for all the cute, everybody. It's just what I needed. :-)

Brilliant Media 7 episode: intelligent, sensitive, gripping. Big ups to all those involved.
And if TVNZ7 is on the way out, what a LOSS!

Rats, I was really looking forward to the Chch Great Blend. And I'd love to come to Welly but I've a wedding to go to in Chch (believe it or not) on the 11th.
In other news, Armageddon (expo) in Chch may still happen.

Craig, Megan, Jack, thanks heaps. Hugging you all right back! Megan, are you still in Chch or are you home?

Hard News: Again: Is everyone okay?, in reply to Robert Urquhart,
Thanks Robert. All the very best to you also. Being away will mean I can stop feeling I need to be staunch and can be as wimpy and weepy as I like, hurrah!

I'd be right behind starting a new thread for arguing about the politics. Here in Chch political talk is a bit like white noise. We can't really get our heads around it. Or I can't. And today, I'm suddenly not coping well at all.
I'm bugging out to relatives in Dunedin who have offered to come and fetch me, bless them. And my flatmate is back and can feed my cat so I'm free to go.
I think there will be a lot of Chch people like me who have a delayed reaction. Until today I've mostly felt fine, hardly even cried. But today I feel like I've been hit by a truck, emotionally. Hoping I have enough braincells left to pack a bag, but not counting on it.

Hard News: Again: Is everyone okay?, in reply to Lara,
Thanks Lara, and Hilary. I’m sure all of his patients, like me, will be very sad. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

My much loved family optometrist, Paul Dunlop, has died. He was a pipe organ enthusiast, and was helping dismantle the organ at the Durham St Methodist Church (opposite the High Court) at the time of the quake.
He was such a sweet, kind man who always took a personal interest in us, and he frequently treated my mother without charge. He will be very much missed.
