@ Rob Stowell
BTW, do you have any connection with a Bob Stowell? American, in Chch in the late 60s.
...and possibly the Laurel Stowell I went through my later school years with?
(Chch in the early-mid '70s)...at the bottom of the tower with the observatory dome on top
I dread to think what the plonkers currently mismanaging the Arts Centre will do about the Observatory Tower, it is still closed to the public...
I'd also love to know how much of the Arts Centre Trust's money, that should have been spent on earthquake strengthening, went on their flash Auckland lawyers during the Music Centre debacle... -
..and hasn't Fleur just opened a new restaurant in the old Oamaru Stone precinct, as well?
Hope she still has the one at Moeraki also... -
a swell alternative...
(Or go down to the dairy and buy a can of Harden Up. If they sell it in the massive quantities required, that is.)
Sounds like one of them new-fangled RTDs,
whatever happened to good old Tume Essence ?The only bad humans are of Middle Eastern stock, just as the men of the West invade the Gulf? I don’t know, you tell me.
Filming of that scene, which was cut from the theatrical release, was completed in 2000, undoubtably designed before that, well before us Westerners engaged in our latest invasion of the gulf.
What about 1991 ? When the US-led coalition "liberated" Kuwait from the Iraqi invaders (spurred on by international condemnation, created by Hill & Knowlton's creative use of, well, lies - about babies being tipped out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital...
Packaging and promoting the evil middle easterners was a nice little earner for H&K.
....and is it just me, or does that Tucson shooter look a lot like John Key? -
the mind buggles...
Facebook killed the Radio Star.
I note, also, that News Corp is seemingly
readying to sell off MySpaceData from comScore shows global MySpace unique user numbers falling 26.4% from 110.8 million in September 2009 to 81.5 million by November 2010. In the UK, traffic fell from 5.1 million to 2.3 million unique users over the same period.
...will Rupert and his Saudi chums ever solve the problem of making money online...

dead pan...
I guess, but unless you produce lots of gold yourself your economy is fucked....
...Apparently silly …. is that the N word is ‘more’ offensive today than it was over a hundred years ago...
Nugget?
....another one for the wordpile
no clemency for Clemens, I see....or I have I got the wrong end of the stick...

a wry tangle...
I, for one, never thought
there would be so many
stairways in The Grid... -
Anyone else had the horror of that stench?
after years of H.P. Lovecraft
I was still unprepared for the
full olfactorial horror of
the truly noisome carrion
call of the charnel channelBig old house
off Allenby Steps
staring straight down
vertigoing into Boulcott stTop floor verandah
last tenants long gone
their rubbish bags out
bleaching in the sunThe emptied fridge
baking in the sun
meat in a black bag
writhing in the sun -
Leg-ends and other extrememeists...
I have been sent a pattern for some Tardis socks.
how about gloves?
...if you've got time
on your hands
and you are
making arm-ends!...though those
tubular matrices
can be tricky...purling the wormhole

I the Judgey-Pants...
One imagines the Powers-That-Be, (and especially Simon Power), would be worried that a jury might return a vox pop decision, such as the freeing of Waihopai 3... (a result I was delighted in by the way)...these selfsame PTB would also be worried about seeming to take a backward step on (drum roll) Terrorism! (or such as it is perceived to be in NZ in this, the first tenth of the 21st century) - witness the USA's dilemma with Obama, on inauguration, pledging to close the Guantanamo Bay retribution facility within a year - a month short, he announces it won't close - largely due to the way people ended up there and the Americans' inability to enter due judicial process - their old, and sad, "do as I say, not as I do" routine will ultimately undo them.

She'll be right...
'Victorian Steam Phunk' aside, it must be admitted that She does have good legal credentials - it being the source of Horace Rumpole's "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed" in John Mortimer's classic TV Series.
