Hard News: A Century Since, in reply to Lilith __,

Hard News: Christchurch: Square Two, in reply to nzlemming,
...and for the older folk among us,
he didn't mean these riots
(before my time, too..., but sadly, the times are ripe for similar occurrences this election year)...meanwhile in Athens and Vancouver
they were also out, out, out in the street...as Tom Waits would say:
"I'm gonna make like a hockey player
and get the puck outta here..." -
Snakes and Leaders...
I had wondered why the more "blindingly obvious" disaster sites - say a cluster of houses or somesuch - couldn't have been acted on more quickly and people allowed to move on - but from what Brownlee was saying last night on telly, it seems the Government's main concern is with making everything legally incontestable one-size-fits-all style ...Checkers draughted in...
There aren’t as many staff processing claims as you think there are, they aren’t paid as much as you think they are...
...but there is a crack squad of claim checkers (well at least two people) out there doing random spot checks on finished claims to see that the reality tallies with the paperwork... a sad indictment of our times...
Claggy silt-shifting tip
people are probably doing this...
but I find if ya line the wheel barrow with a plastic sheet, or cut open rubbish bag or similar intermediary boundary, then shovel in silt - then tip the whole lot out and peel off the plastic sheet replace in barrow - repeat as many times as needed...hell newspaper or cardboard would probably be as effective - until the Teflon© barrow comes along...
you can peg the sheet in place if needs be, but remove pegs before tipping, to minimise swearing...
This came to me as I was gaffer-taping up my rusty barrow base, and I didn't want it to get wet and then I had a flash of how clay was wrapped in plastic when I was at school... voila!

Still, the Black Panthers did the
same salute I guess.The Black Panthers had arguably better social programmes - Breakfasts for Children, alleviation of poverty, etc...
Destiny are barely making a fist of it... -
a city in denial...
there is no WIN
just thinking this could be a nice
sign for that Wellington Hillside...
...with a fallen 'D' at the end
(just as the Hollywood one lost
its terminating 'LAND' early on...) -
Drizabonehead...
He wasn’t being mean about politicians – he obviously meant that his status as a demi-God was far above their earth-bound level.
and
I am not in favour of the state providing funding for the marketing initiatives of religious fanatics whose spiritual leaders ‘teachings’ are in essence hate speech.
welcome to the Demi-Secular world...
replete with fine whining and dry mediums

Southerly: One Hundred and Thirty-one…, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
You might as well go the whole Priscilla Queen of the Desert :)
Tulle be sorry!
and beware the Isadora Duncan effect... -
Cloister home...
I’d blame the nuns for global fucking warming if I could figure an angle...
...it's all that black - absorbs all the light and traps the heat - then radiates it out to the surrounding area, ergo: local warming. Not too mention all that driving around on Vespers!
the old grey Goose...
“not a single feather of evidence was plucked from the goose of truth”
I believe that is the standard pâté line...

clip on earings
did anyone else notice the story at the weekend
about a young (16) son of the Maori King crashing a car and how someone in the family said he'd be getting a "clip around the ear" - surely this is now illegal!
Will the correct authorities step in?
