    What about the Subs on that "trade mag"

    PA - driving the news cycle...
    Ripped from today's Press front page story...

    In his Public Address blog yesterday, media commentator Russell Brown questioned why $1.5 million of the $1.95m raised by KidsCan organisations in the year to December 2008 went in operating costs, leaving 19 cents in the dollar for its charitable programmes.

    What place does the Blog have in modern media, eh? I hope Fairfax is paying you a news-feed fee :- )

    Vanilla and the sheath pod people...
    Enjoy it while you can, the missionary position is under threat - a lethal disease is wiping out vanilla plantations in Madagascar
    Interestingly the root of the word vanilla is from the Latin vagina - sheath/scabbard - so it's right on the muni! - it's all Greek to me, (right Stewart?) the language, that is, not the slang term which is,
    I guess, an inversion, to be contrary...

    the new Sexicon...
    if you are not Kinky - you could just be sextraordinary, rather than merely normal, or even a bonk vivant...
    the politics of modern sex allow one to be a Sensualist Member as either a Libertine or on the Sybarite where you can proudly proclaim I Amatory!

    Figs and Cheese Plant for tea...
    I'll be wary of creeping or weeping figs with directional mikes, especially ficus erecta, nervosa and ilicina and any accompanying reeling Fruit Salad plants : - )
    i'm sure it'll all be food for thought and I'll get my just deserts if I'm tart with Hart, when down with Brown in town...

    KidsCan - It was a dark and stormy night...
    Those All Black Raincoats (with tiny white Adidas and AB logos on the front) don't seem like a particularly well thought out garment - maybe there is a fluorescent stripe on the back I can't see - otherwise they seem a liability for kids at night in stormy weather - kids should be seen, not herded and branded!

  • Hard News: A Real Alternative,

    Who is The Honey of the Drones...?
    Who will be Queen Bee of the BeeHive?

    Will it be Paula B, Judith C, or Anne T?
    Who has the most sting, who will sting the country for the most or who is the stingiest?

    Anne T having attended Colenso College and obtaining a Diploma in Computer Programming is a natural to decide the future education of our larvae...

    Judith C definitely has a bee in her bonnet about boy racers, a hornets nest crying out for a stinging rebuke from the queen of Corrections...

    Paula B does seem to be the "single reproductive female" in the Beehive and Social Development and Employment are very Hive oriented pursuits...

    But seriously - what does the Alternative Education System cover, we aren't talking Steiner Schools and the like are we?
    This term School System of Last Resort seems to have come out of nowhere - though I do (just) remember some great nights at the The Last Resort in Wellington, and there did seem to be quite a few punks there... : - )
    Perhaps Ms Tolley should go to the annual Christ's College vs Boys High Rugby match in Chch - to see how the "civilised" sector behaves.

    I would have thought that indications of high drug abuse amongst these kids was good reason to give it more funding not less - still, guess we have to wait for the review.

    Cutting Enviroschools funding is the daftest thing I have ever heard - guess we need the "trash vortex" in the Pacific to fill up a bit more, the planet's only hope is informed, concerned and committed kids, Enviroschools is a great start...

    Land of the Long Black Froth or Proud Scum?

    This week I made a long black and the blotch on the crema was in the shape of New Zealand. I should have taken a photo.

    Damn straight ya shoulda snapped dem excited bubbles n photons...
    ...that coulda saved the nation millions as the replacement 100% PURE tourist publicity campaign - NZ the country where the crema
    also rises!
    Hopefully this doesn't make you the

    Nice to see Mr Higgins on deck, casting his mind way back beyond the breakers, I only have flickering (if not strobing) recollections of that Enemy-Tellykinetic night (and sorry I missed ya on yer recent trip down to these boggy-parts, too).
