  • Field Theory: Beer and Loathing,

    I'm just not that familiar with the brewing process,

    Yes, friends brew and I must say, for someone who ain't particularly keen on beer, I can appreciate a good one. We enjoy Galbraith's for his excellent selection, and great landlord shouts and.....:)chuzzz

  • Hard News: A plot point is reached,

    Sofie - having applied for one of these consents myself, one of the first requirements is gaining the approval of affected neighbours. I take it this didn't happen?

    Yes and no they didn't. Our street is quite protective of trees and some of the flyers have had an effect (affect???, can never figure which one to use) .A similar situation happened with one outside Burger King on Dom Rd and my neighbour managed to save that one. It was supposed to be sick. Wasn't. Looks lovely still.

  • Hard News: A plot point is reached,

    (I know a planner who might be able to help, if it's not too late, which I suspect it might be)

    Thank-you.Just been down the street posting flyers, Jill Pierce is Heritage if anyone wants to ring and voice objection. Robyn Pilkington @aucklandcity.govt.nz is trying to help, and I suspect Paul Hansen(council arborist) helped with granting consent. They have just found my application (8 months old)to schedule these and others in our street so they have acknowledged they are addressing this. But any one can email or complain.The wood pigeons are busy pecking under them as I write and buds galore on both. Where will the Tui go?

  • Hard News: A plot point is reached,

    I had no idea just how laden with innuendo kids books were until that momentous eve.

    Noddy and Big Ears for one.

    Should we discussing such irrelevancies on the day the world ends?

    So, if today is it, I will still spend the day trying to save a 70yrish old English Oak tree that is outside my lounge window on the border of our property. It deserves to live.Neighbour doesn't think so. Got a sneaky consent, and now they can chop 2. I'll go away now. Grrrrr

  • Field Theory: Beer and Loathing,

    I'm still a little confused as to what constitutes a Dark Lager and what constitutes an Ale,

    Dark Lager is bottom fermented and I think... amount/ time malt is roasted i.e.the more you have and the,longer you roast, it gets darker. Ale is top fermented.

    I'm going to let all the hysteria pass by and hope for something sensible to emerge;

    I am with you Paul.

    And, it was the plot point blog, not the worrier one.

    I knew that, (somewhere in my head):)

    Um... Sofie.

    I knew that.

    Well at least you made me laugh Andrew :) I forget that people around here seem to have lots of telly/computer time. But now I'm looking at the hairstyles thanks to RB's worrier blog. Often this debate stuff is so repetative. O No! it's the hand!.....

    I think they keep 300ml bottles of anything well away from Mallard these days.
