Lost favour as a name since Leopold II and his royal activities in the Congo
Was that after the fall of Babar and the arrival of boy reporter Tintin?

Fleece, Navy Dad...
Why not Jason? Always liked the idea of a Prince Jason, or a King Jason. Its a name with an honourable heritage, going all the way back to the Argonauts.

Very Sharpe!
Kate's family have a mail order business. Mail travels on roads. The NAU wants a unification highway etc
A New World Mail Order...
I think this wedding might well signal the end of civilisation as we know it.
Nonsense! The Mayans have clearly indicated that this will occur when the ball playing Hero Twins bring down 7-Macaw - so it's just more trouble at the breakdown of civilisation really...
...The antediluvian world was lorded over by Itz'am Ye or K’iche’s, Vukub-Caquix, "Seven Macaw," who took the place of the sun. To prepare for the creation of the true humans, the rule of Seven Macaw had to be ended. This was achieved by the Hero Twins of the Popol Vuh, who shot Seven Macaw from his tree.Only 765 days to go...
Oh, come on now–there is some damn fine country around there, as well as the real curiosity of Portmeirion.
You mean she might as well be a Prisoner ?

There's a very significant entitlement mentality at work...
It has become a rort of passage!

Disclaimer: Out of the void - I have a gap in my life from that site as well - many years before, it was a pool and pinball parlour, where I can just remember completing a 50 hour pinball marathon with Paul Corliss, who went on to much more productive work in the Union movement (and fly-fishing!)

Remembering Tony Peake in Christchurch...
Michael Daly has organised a night at Al's Bar
....since the sad news of Tony's death many of us here have been talking about getting together in some way to remember him. I think that for many of us it is important that we do that, and before too much more time has passed.
Having spoken today with Al Park we propose
a gathering in remembrance of our friend Tony Peake at Al's Bar in Dundas Street
from 7 pm this coming Tuesday,
November 23rd.
We'll have a sound system there and a way of playing records (and CDs I imagine) so we can air some favourite songs - by all means bring one or two or let me know some suggestions and we'll try to locate them.
There will be a mic for those who may wish to speak.
Shall we have a photo wall? I think that would be good. Bring a photo if you can, or anything visual, a band poster perhaps.
Of course there'll be a bar there! Anyone who cared to could bring some sort of edible something but certainly no-one should feel obliged to.
Really it's just a bunch of us getting together to remember a friend, a celebration of someone who touched our lives in no small way.
Short notice this definitely is, so please tell all that you think should be there and make sure that they do the same.xxxx

ps any thoughts or suggestions, holler -
