  • Hard News: The Disingenuous Press,

    Radio Live - a bait station?

    Thank you possum. :) I will wait for you with bated breath

    ...not 1080 I hope...

    (ok it was a stretch, works better aurally)
    ;- )

    The Norman Conquest...

    I should note that I'm still not entirely sure what I think about it all ...

    it has been an interesting exercise in witness reliability - so many people have seen different things from the same footage...

    do we need McChrystal balls to see the future?
    The American Gov't also seems to have an aversion to hearing the truth or dissenting views, they seem to be approaching a "The Emperor has no clothes" moment...

  • Up Front: Can't We All Just Fucking Get Along?,

    echoes of the clone ranger...

    grrr - double double

    classic case of being beside oneself...
    ;- )


    going down the gargler...?
    well yodel is close to yokel
    which is pure country...

    ...what about those throat singers?
    no falsetto there, it's the real thing...

    poll dancing

    isn't that what Banks, Brown and McCroskrie
    are engaged in?

    I thought that was a reflection on toilet acoustics!

  • Southerly: Bob's Top Five,

    But it's a really nice umbrella with a lovely impressionist print on it .....

  • Hard News: Clover It,

    ultimately, everything is mutable
    by whatever agency...

    Interesting to see the examples of breeding tinkering (Killer Bees), introducing alien species
    (the silver Carp in the US) and environmental/societal change (the bird flocks
    in Rome) on the Super Swarms doco on
    TV One last night... (Pt 2 next week)
    What a fabulous planet we share...
    (first do no harm...)

  • Hard News: The Disingenuous Press,

    Three parts ignorance, one part authoritarianism, with a twist of malice.
    Grind down, repress, then lock in a shipping container of ice.

    neither shaken, nor stirred,
    just mixed up...

    Anyway, here's some John Cale.

    suddenly I am side of stage at the Gluepot... Bliss!

    And Marie Curie, to add a little gender balance, was a living saint.

    I too, have seen glowing reports!

  • Hard News: The Disingenuous Press,

    wrong signal to noise...

    Dr Norman said Mr Key's apology was "degrading", while Mr Key defended it that "it's unacceptable that a dignatory of that level can't enter the building without their integrity being compromised".

    Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness - yep that's the Chinese Government alright!

    You should be in a shed Giovanni . Real blokes don't go near a garage...

    what, no magic carport ride...?

  • Hard News: Clover It,

    Tractors are not self-replicating - and nor do they pose a risk of blending with other farm implements to form new machines.

    Meanwhile, in Russia:

    those Ruskies have beat us to a gap
    in the market - Transfarmers!
