  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…, in reply to Petra,

    In 19th century newspaper articles, use of the comma, is, generous and seem, ingly random. I am led to wonder, if, perchance this, has something to do, with ladies in, strapped and squeezed too, tight bodices causing breath, shortage whilst reading.

    of corset is...

  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…,

    risk averse kiwi stars...

    that asteryx again!

    I love this innovation,
    a truly kiwi ( apteryx )
    take on punctuation...
    ...it flies!

    our clotted arteries...
    Much like our own circulatory system
    roads are symbiotic transport arteries.

    I've never understood why drivers don't
    realise that each cyclist on the road,
    often equates to one less car taking up
    space and thereby shortening the driver's trip
    and freeing up possible parks...
    ...it is usually the cyclists who stop and clear
    the road of dangerous objects when necessary.
    I'm constantly doing this, mostly to right
    toppled road cones, which are all round chch these days, I still do it when I'm using the car...

    If we use these venous transit systems, we have responsibilities to others, behaving selfishly
    and venially, creates clots in all senses of the word!

  • Hard News: Healing the family feud,

    ... with a great sense of deja vu I tried my line ..... and the pimply-faced youth behind the counter completely missed it and led me to the (a)isle of vices - kids these days, just no clues

    You are talking about modern yoof, get a grip...
    Oh, you did!

    Pulp Friction...

    Pumpkins I had to “help” the “fertility” process along (and yes I felt dirty afterwards and had to have a shower)

    Yes, I've heard that pumping kin
    never ends well...
    ;- )

    too earthy?

  • Hard News: Moving targets,

    Honestly, I find it rather disingenuous of MPs to pretend that they're hapless victims of a body whose role and powers are strictly delimited by legislation.

    ...and how they never seem to think the same should apply to the Lumpen Proletariat - the Remuneration Authority should also set wage levels each year for every worker - surely whatever external factors affect parliamentarians, affect the general populace.

  • Cracker: Dig This!,

    Bloom and grow...
    Summer is a great time
    as shoots turn to stems
    then start branching out
    and the plot thickens
    coming alive...

    May your garden bring
    you as much pleasure
    as Prof Walker (R.I.P.)
    enthused about for years...

    Interesting to see "grassroots" movements
    like the Ringing Cedars series of books
    from Russia, extolling the benefits
    of getting involved with nature...

    Thousands of readers have felt a huge creative upsurge and started writing poetry and songs and creating works of art. Thousands more have been inspired to begin planting trees, growing healing food and flower gardens in their cities as well as their homes.
    In this return to sanity, many are joining together to plan the creation of new community neighbourhoods—where each family or individual owns their own piece of land and together take immense pride in creating beautiful family estates—natural paradise-like sanctuaries to be enjoyed by successive generations.

    Every little bit helps...

  • Hard News: Moving targets,

    No contract so no retrospectivity.

    What about Residuals ?
    Think how much the Muldoon and Lange estates could be making from those "snap election "and "uranium breath" clips...

  • Hard News: The Engagement,

    Come-bye, walk up / walk on...

    (I do sincerely like Tux Wonder Dogs, though. Give me that as a double feature with A Dog’s Show and I’m in heaven.)

    maybe even a triple feature
    with The Dog Whisperer
    I love the way it's usually the people
    that are the problem...
