averse to the driving reign...
Very soon both Jeffrey Paparoa Holman
& Islander will be put up against a wall,
and shot – by tourists and locals alike!<nudge, nudge>
Look out for them from the 17th of June...
</wink, wink>:- )

Field Theory: Gruts, in reply to recordari,
What's on Nickers...
Maybe it’s Elle having a hand in your undies that makes up for the normal Bendon mediocrity.
...do ya think they go to Elle in a handbasket?
or would ya, quick as a flash, swap Elle for leather? -
I can see you had a ball writing this...
After weeding out the final pair, I noticed the trend, they were all Bendon.
Who to blame?
Who owns Bendon?
Cullen Investments Limited, an international private investment company founded by entrepreneur Eric Watson.
(You'd think they'd be more future savvy with a William Gibson on the Exec!)Dextrussed?
Sinister… Not really as “Dressing” on the left is a right handed thing...
so there's a lot of dexterous-dicks out there...

Are you all seaty comftibold
two-square on your botty?*In places where cycling is normal,
you don’t wear lycra...... thus began the rise of
The Lycra©anthropes.**First, normalcy shot up from
a dime a dozen to the almost
unaffordable $20 a dozen -
things were tight all over...
- the carbon-fibrous era was
upon us, an extinction loomed....at first they were neither here nor there
just inbetween – on long stretches,
then they were just where they were,
and then, then they were everywhere!...and they definitely weren't
in the middle-of-the-road...</whimsy>
*thanks to Stanley Unwin**apologies if I've said all this before...

Southerly: One Hundred and Thirty-one…, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
and to answer your question...
you don't see many of them around any more
I can't recall when I last saw one
puttering along the roadonce they got going, great...
but there was all that pedalling
and then dropping the motor
onto the front wheel, while movingthere are some electric step throughs out there
but they are too quiet! -
Van Dykes 'n' parks...
Now, can I get you to help me out with a way to "Amsterdamize" the CBD???
What? Morey Amsterdam?
49cc of raw power...
When I was at Canterbury uni, there was a tradition of powered cycles which looked like they had a motor mower strapped to the front wheel. Are these still around?
I'm thinking you mean the wonderful Gallic invention, the Vélosolex rather than the home conversions...
Gimme Shelter...
I propose a four-legged 6x6m platform shelter with a ladder so you can picnic on top.
which might also be useful for those religions who like air burials, this would encourage buzzards and vultures and other carrion eaters to the central city as well - now that the lawyers, finance companies and accountants have left....
of course we'd have to introduce some of these birds. -
Now you've done it Russell...
stirring up the undead... sequestered beneath the Institute for Liberal Values, Frédéric Bastiat stirs - old articles are dug up:I think what Fred was trying to say up thread is:
That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen
By Frédéric Bastiat
In the department of economy, an act, a habit, an institution, a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects. Of these effects, the first only is immediate; it manifests itself simultaneously with its cause - it is seen. The others unfold in succession - they are not seen: it is well for us, if they are foreseen. Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference - the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen, and also of those which it is necessary to foresee. Now this difference is enormous, for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favourable, the ultimate consequences are fatal, and the converse. Hence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come, while the true economist pursues a great good to come, - at the risk of a small present evil.or something like that....

Sulphur, so good...
...a city full of boutique volcanoes to play on. I just nipped up Mt Albert, which is a really excellent way to get up a sweat without having to ride too far from home.
like some kind of a Fumarole Playing Game?
