    A house on the borderland...
    The true state of things is revealed in Lyndon Hood's excellent The Calculator of Cthulhu - be prepared to stare into the still beating heart of true horror - not for the faint hearted!

    wight flight...

    Assuming you're referring to the public that voted in the current government, I suspect "creature" rather than "sentient being" would be the more-apt of the definitions.

    I have wight defined as the more apt:
    [archaic or dialect] a person of a specified kind, esp. one regarded as unfortunate: "he always was an unlucky wight." which segues nicely into the more current usage described as: ...undead or wraith-like creatures: corpses with a part of their decayed soul still in residence, often draining life from their victims.

    Meaningless songs in very high voices...

    Can I have the decent society back sometime soon?

    sadly, it looks like we are stuck with the descent society for now, and with the current castrati in power best we can hope for is a descant society...

    Power cuts ahead...
    it's looking likely that the Govt will have egg
    on its face over Hubbard enquiry
    ...couldn't happen to a nicer bunch!
    Here's hoping they have to pay damages
    out of their own pockets...

  • Southerly: Confessions of a Social Retard,

    Interesting, but extremely preliminary, given the numbers involved and the fact that they only looked at adult men.

    maybe it was just a Brian scan?

    Become a public servant, however...

    I find it weird
    - surely an MP is the ultimate Public Servant
    - serving (ostensibly) at the wish of the people...

    Stevens... was on a junket to a fishing lodge courtesy of a telecoms company when the
    aircraft came down in bad weather in a
    remote part of the state.

    I hear the cellphone coverage in remote fishing areas is very good, even in New Zealand...
