  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    Non-menclature...

    Yup, there's no indication that Gothmog
    is an orc,

    sounds like a black cat to me...

    ...and two half-elves, the sons of Elrond

    ...so Elrond would be an early founder
    of Scion-tology then?

  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    My guess is they just replaced him with
    the Elves because...

    The Elves have left the building...

    ...13,000 people responded.

    at 75c a txt (I think)?
    where does the money go?

  • Busytown: Front, man,

    I think Paul should come to the Diwali Festivals later this month. He'd be the centre of attraction.

    at the risk of sounding insensitive,
    perhaps we could start a new festival
    for the unenlightened on a quest...

  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    power plays...

    The news came via the Hollywood Reporter, a publication Whipp deigns to talk to. He's gone for two weeks. I have no idea what to make of it.

    Same M.O. as Tony Marryatt Council CEO in Chch (Except he hasn't spoken to anyone for a month as far as I can see). Paid almost half a million a year and buggers off to Australia for 10 days, ostensibly to see the NRL final (that's one day!) and leaves all the hard decisions on buildings' fates in Chch to his deputy - nice work if you can get it!

  • Hard News: Morning in Auckland,

    Thought for the day
    spotted in The Press on October 5:

    "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding"
    Justice Louis D'Brandeis (1856-1940)

    ...also Paul Henry may be the unwitting victim of working in a toxic electromagnetic environment
    - as this report points out:

    Scientists have shown they can change people's moral judgements by disrupting a specific area of the brain with magnetic pulses.

    Paul, move away from the bulk eraser
    and get an outdoor job...

  • Hard News: Morning in Auckland,

    Bazza's original strip in Private Eye was written by renowned cross-dresser Barry Humphries and illustrated by almost-New Zaalander Nicholas Garland (OBE).
    Interestingly Garland's upbringing is the inverse of Henry's - his strongly Socialist family moved to NZ when he was 11 and he returned to the UK when he was 19...

  • Voting Local 2010,

    Returns to sender...
    How do these exit polls, I hear about on the telly, work with a postal vote?
    Hell, it sounds like they've had enough trouble getting the posties to actually deliver the voting papers...
