Trailer blazing...
Inception - looks like it needs a credit to P K Dick
and RED is looking like The Losers 30 years on* - fun - though Bruce Willis' hearing must be shot by now - so many movies, so many explosions!*(BTW - no one seemed to mention in local publicity that some of The Loser comic series was drawn by kiwi-born master artist Colin Wilson! (see Colin's April 14th blog)
- and Roger Langridge is to be writing Thor!
- Go guys!) -
is Australia catching up with New Zealand?
Now they have a childless female leader...
can other parities be far away?
(obviously that's parity in the "equality" sense
not the "having borne children" sense...)screwing miners...
the whole tit-for-tat ad campaign
doesn't bode well for NZ's proposed
venture into wealth by further mining..."Australians are entitled to a fairer share of our inheritance – the mineral wealth that lies in our ground"
if Australia thinks they aren't getting
a big enough bite of their mining
industry - National is dreaming if they
think we'll do any better... -
I tinker therefore I am...
...quite alarmed at the prospect that there are ignoramuses out there who presume to know more than their own tiny little avenue of research.
like all the various schemes to do some geo-engineering
Polluting the upper atmosphere with nanoparticles that cool the planet? That’s geo-engineering. Turning plantations into charcoal to bury our problems in the soil? That’s geo-engineering. Changing the chemistry of the seas to soak up more greenhouse gas? Also geo-engineering.
but what happens if the iron you dump in the ocean acts as a heat-sink and cools currents, even slightly - that thermal conveyor belt about the planet is kinda crucial in myriad ways...

I can predict the consequences of GM easily. It will with absolute certainty do great good in the world it will make some people money it will get some people angry it will bring us surprises most of them good and some of them bad.
that is a very comprehensive prediction...
though it seems to have more in common with our favourite palindromic buddy - a Bob each way... -
Julia Gillard
this should help sales of Pampered Menial
or at least give Pavlov's Dog some extra needle money...or The Beatles for that matter

Ocker pallor...
Leadership's pill is bitter to swallow..."leadership spill"
spill your guts...?
or a technicolour yawn
all very Ocker, very Barry McKenzie -
We looked at the changing cinema business, and at the likelihood of cinemas becoming venues for non-feature-film content – especially in 3D.
I note my local Reading cineplex (Palms, Chch)
hosts evangelical church meetings on Sundays...
the other 3D - the Trinity? -
The Amorous FIFAdom...
"4am hook-ups"! Who the hell is getting those?
The FIFA Hearts?
-
no, waterlilies
aaah! a case of take the Monet and run then?
:- ) -
Elementary my dear, what's on?
*we really need an irony tag to go along with the sarcasm tag.
how about a periodic solution:
<Fe> Ironic statement </Fe>and maybe for the finer distinction on sarcasm:
<Fey> snark </Fey>
