meanwhile back at the kohl face...
it is time for the country to find itself a more sustainable brand, and soon."
Humiliating, and its the truth :(instant win-win solution:
subterranean brothels!
advertised internationally as:
"Come dig New Zealand
have sex with a miner"that should get them in...
(note to National tourism minister
- this is a satirical comment!) -
Interesting idea... :-)
I actually still have those presentations...in which the quarry becomes the hunter!
I like it... ;- )Wonder if Garrett will be singing that as he opens Beverly Four Mile.
More like the theme to the Beverly Hillbillies,
he likes the bubbling crude....I've just finished mercilessly mocking some of my friends. ...
...I've been loving rubbing it in.Oh that'll help. Is sanctimony a poisonous gas?
My canary just died... -
and just to help things further - the Refugee and Migrant Centre in Chch is to close at the end of the month, precipitated by cuts in council funding...
"For the refugees and migrants, it will leave 15,000 people a year confused."
But Cr Ngaire Button said the centre had been adequately funded and should have been sustainable under "prudent financial management".
"If the centre's potential had been maximised, there would have been an extra income stream of up to $30,000 per annum to offset rental costs," she said.
"The problem is one I have seen often in the community, where well meaning, caring people obtain funding for a good project which promises outcomes the council and other funders are interested in, but when the rubber hits the road there is a gap when it comes to financial skills and business acumen.
"I am very sad to see the Refugee and Migrant Centre close and I sincerely hope the service will rise again under new management, with some financial accountabilities."I just love the way the way the council plays the blame game, and is happy to see something wiped out and then hope for the reinvention of the wheel (and all the extra start-up costs), who then should we look to for leadership, guidance and assistance?
Meanwhile real people face real problems and hardships...
Enough already!

Ohh, (sucks index finger) I dunno. Maybe ;)
"Art is not a mirror held up to reality,
but a hammer with which to shape it."
- Mayakovskiart, truth, knowledge...
this off-episte(mology) run is fraught
with thin ice to be skating on...I mean how come when one is artful
they are actually crafty...? -
Singing in the rain,
I'm just singing in the rain,
what a glorious feeling...aaah the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange
Imagine Avatar by Stanley Kubrick... -
Gold Cads...
pour cyanaide all over it.
I'm guessing this cyan aide is a mixture of liquefied National Party assistants - also known as the incredibly toxic Blue Rinse!

Here's a good example: a comparison of the area to be investigated for mining on Barrier with some geography Aucklanders will already know.
Golly, that's a BIG postcard!

WARNING - Conspiracy coming up......
Russell - knowing that you are a media techo savvy who seems to have some influence around the place, .... since the ISPs KNOW you, that they just might...just might mind you...ensure your, shall we say, "internet availability is well catered for".
End of conspiracy.So what are we to make of the power cut
that just hit Point Chev this morning?
uh-oh! -
There is a job going if you wanna backup a couple of posts, seeing as you have some free time ;)

Do you think I'll ever get this thread back on topic?
to recycle an old pun - Frayed Knot
Mark (10:25) my words - there's about as much chance as getting a camel through the eye of a needle...
that's the internet for ya...
it don't take long for talk of cabinets
to swing to contents of larders..
a recipe for disaster, if you will...
its insidious the whiplash effect
eventually becomes a cascade...the derailment was triggered innocently
on page one, someone said food for thought here
followed soon after by the mention of Orcon
which subconsciously later triggers a Whale mention...
then that Mrs Bratwurst sounds like a silly sausage plus all this talk of fibre led to Healthcare and tea parties by this time the thread was unravelling fast, the ensuing avalanche of blubber, unicorned beefcake, mussel tees and other tripe - well it was always gonna have an offal end...Who says NLP don't work?
so what were you saying about the internet again - of course the gummint is gonna invest heavily in it, if it can keep the population diverted and distracted like this...
