Roman Nose? That's Chinatown, Jake...
Polanski is shooting the film adaptation of Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage in Paris...
...and in a further coincidence related to that, Hobbit cast member Mark Hadlow is currently appearing in the Chch Court Theatre production of this play...
I also note that Kate Winslet (who got a big break
in Jackson's Heavenly Creatures ) is in the Polanski
film version...
spooky?
Contag-ian? or dizzy-ease...Sorry, catching a case of Ian D here ;-)
Hmmmm, would a case of me be a punnet?
it sure wouldn't be a crate...
I can't even get a six-pack together!
;- )
The well tempered & rubbery pork sword...*Do condoms come in hobbit-size?
Condominimums?
*I've only just learned that a Bilbo was a sword used in former times, noted for the temper and elasticity of its blade.

Happy that the film will stay. Unhappy about everything else. Is there a word for this?
Life....
So part of the deal is Jackson and Warners produce promotional material for NZ.
Looking forward to the scene were Bilbo battles the giant salmon near Rakaia...
Lonely Mountain, It's the only thing I can think of as close, but it's a volcano - not really the kind of place you mine.
dig the extinct Mt Eden! - Angel Mine...
keeping violins off the street...
...put a digital lid on it, and viola!
...fiddling about in the cellos...
I plead the fifth!
It's in the Baggins...
...now we can all get some sleep
we haven't lost our Grips and Rodney Hide will be Best Boy and John Key is the Gaffer! -
More arrow slinging...
So THAT was what all the bitterness with the Sackville-Bagginses was about.
the then there's the tales of those whacky Sackville-Wests
fortune smiles on the brave
and the outrageously fortunate
In Spring one navigates the vigil alone...To make that movie work you'd need a Peter Jackson. He's an artist, he draws.
or Vincent Ward - his last name is draw back!
[EDIT] oops shoulda read all the posts since 5pm before I posted this,
I see Petra has already made this suggestion... :- ) -
Class traders...
Warners will ensure that the American Health System is available to us all and give us July 4th as a holiday. <
...and instigating Halloween as an official holiday!
Speaking of Truck n Trout I saw a big trout in the Avon today, by the Stanmore st bridge...
reassuring somehow...
give 'em an inch...
I'm confused, is 3 foot 6 a different company to
3 foot 7 or are we selling one of them short?
it's all a bit icke...He'd have to have never read it to get that out. I can't think of a single peasant actually referred to anywhere in it, nor anything about feudal lives.
I thought it was simple parable on the eternal struggle between our agrarian forebears and their reptilian overlords...

decay decay decay
-that's the way we gowe are all rotters...
...but there does seem to be a rise in the number
of bounders, cads and bullies from all "classes"
...society runs the risk of following the
sociopath less trodden! -
I planted a vege garden on the weekend.
My first...I forgot to say that I am signing off now in a bid to cut back on the power bill which has topped $300 this month.
I'm worried you may have left the electric blanket, on the new vegetable bed, on...

Some people seem to think that anyone with $500m to play around with can't be that easily spooked but its $500m placed at risk in a risky business.
Can't see what the Government is going on about, they borrow the equivalent of a Hobbit project every 3 weeks - I dread to think who from...

You manufacture and sell long bows, then?
I wish you well.More like very cross-bows, I'd have thought... ;- )
Maybe shitload is the proper collective noun for masons.
How about a Hod of Masons?

Colony collapse disorder...
If National Standards are actually a tool to crush the NZEI/PPTA, why doesn't Minister Tolley just say so? And as I previously mentioned, teachers are heartily sick of social work and warden duty foisted on them.
The education wars are but one symptom of the privatised class system malaise.
It has bugged me as to what is wrong with the Government in relation to education (amongst other things), and I just came across the perfect explanation in the book I'm reading ( The Language of the Bees by Laurie L King*)
- Beehives are organic machines, entirely designed to provide for the next generation.
- Our Beehive is not functioning properly!!*not completely a treatise on apiarists but also the adventures of the retired Sherlock Holmes and his much younger bride...

Islander
sounds like it's been a stressful day in Okarito
any word on the missing whitebaiter?
how's everyone else?
