Re Paul Campbell’s post about boat-like foundations… “when the big one hits it’s ‘avast me hearties!’ and you’re off, for a metre or two.”
That’s such a great image, especially if Jack Sparrow is at the helm.
Enter The Crimson Permanent Assurance....

Hard News: Friday Fever, in reply to Robyn Gallagher,
...and looking like a high street
Zambesi, Street Life and Workshop ad
I'm thinking stylist work by
Ngila Dickson
or Megan Douglas
or Angela...
possibly a Kerry Brown
shoot or Phil Peacocke maybeoh the memory cells I have lost...
where are my old copies of ChaCha?
the past is being unearthed...
I did just pick up 4 (four) copies of
the Captain Sunshine comic #1
at the market last week...another plea to the gallery...
is anyone out there sitting
on the artwork to issue two
or any of those full size in-store stand ups
Colin, have you still got copies? -
Sedimental attachments...
I admit that I haven’t yet got my head around the river level changes. How much of the rise is due to new sand in the river bed; how much to the fact that the banks have moved closer together; how much to the land slumping beside the river?
Very soon Cera will introduce its controversial "For-Shore and See-Bed" legislation whereby some areas will be structurally "Shored" for sure, and the risen up "See-Bed" areas will be vacated because of flooding dangers... what could possibly go wrong?

Outrageous Importune...
But I'm too middle-class...
fie on such protestations - working title
Foghorn's Lament; Buoys will be buoys...

Soupy Sales redux....
I actually almost titled that post
‘Anybody want a line?’What's my Line might've been apt, too...
as one is hard pressed to know what Labour
thinks its job is nowadays.... -
More like selling the engine to overseas financiers who will lease it back to us with interest.
too true ...resulting in this kind of debacle

Hard News: People Take Drugs, in reply to Mikaere Curtis,
Turn up (for) the Bass
...because their butts tend to end up in stormwater drains and hence the local marine environment.

Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland
ring a bell, anyone?'token" literary reference?

I prefer Inherent Vice myself -
Gout of here...
Kruschen salts
despite the good press
MgSO4 hip heptahydrate that it is,
is really a cosy nostrum
consisting mostly of that other ghastly
mineral - personified by that nuggety efflorescence, Rodney Hide - Epsomite!
Scarily its crystal symmetry is 222
- a third of the Anti-Christ!Interestingly, Magnesium sulfate is the primary substance that causes the absorption of sound in seawater. Absorption, in this case, means the conversion of acoustic energy to heat energy. The conversion is a strong function of frequency. Lower frequencies are less affected by the salt, so that the acoustic energy travels much farther in the ocean. Boric acid also contributes to absorption; but the most abundant salt in seawater, sodium chloride, has no known effect on sound absorption. (from Wikipedia)
Maybe that's why Epsom salts soothe...?
Not to be confused with Kruschev salts ...
