Ivanja Dabrowska makes a damn good lamington.
as for oil, for cooking, use anything. for dipping bread in? it has to smell like banana and taste like freshly cut grass, imho.
mmmm.... lawn clippings.

Not here it wasn't: Starbucks has never been cool in New Zealand... Its competition isn't Mojo, it's McDonald's.
it's funny 'cause it's true.

time will tell my good man, time will tell.

and you were nothing like I had imagined. I don't know what (if any) conclusions should be drawn from this.

The other day he managed to attach himself to gaggle of Japanese school-girls and ended up posing with them in numerous holiday snaps.
lol. might have established himself the habit of a lifetime there...
as for your predicament at the hospital. am trying not to think about it. we're heading into wellington in november, and i'm hoping that the maternity care is at very least a smidge better than their cardio (which is... not great).
after initially convincing second chef that i'd be better down at the pub ensuring her dad didn't run out of whisky, a pesky midwife has guaranteed my presence to ensure the heavy lifting is done.
i.e. picking up unhelpful medical staff and turfing them out of the delivery suite, then walking down to the consultants rooms and ensuring someone attends.
grrrrr... man-stuff.

@seaneen great outline, but that doesn't amount to a conspiracy. that's an interest group.

44 minutes.....
ROFL!!!!!1!!!!!
the c-word three times, and there he is.

Which is about right, even today. The lack of understanding of the role economics has to play is, however, terrifying.
that might actually be the other salient point from charles stross, halting state, economic warfare is the real c21st weapon.
much less messy, for starters.

Warehouse full of donated goods being left to rot, donated goods sold, and so on
*almost* as bad as pledging "a billion dollars" to tsunami relief, then forgetting to sign the cheque.
thank god that little rodent is out of government.

I wasn't suggesting that Iraq follows legitimately from 9/11
sorry, an assumption on my part is that the pre-911 conspiracy is widely known.
some have suggested that there existed orders from high in the bush administration to *let the planes hit the buildings*. it would provide a big dose of chaos, and the neocons could take a firmer hand on the reins.
i'm not convinced by that.
the US military budget needs to be substantially increased in the near future to simply maintain the current level of power simply because of aging hardware from the Reagan and earlier eras, coupled with WOT attrition
the only salient point in charles stross' latest novel ('Halting State', bloody awful) is a near-future in which the US bankrupts itself trying to support all those aircraft carriers, much like the UK did in the post-ww2 era. meanwhile china has become, ah, formidable.
as has the european union.
all a bit 'peloponnesian war' really (china is the macedonians. or maybe rome) </smart arse who has read his history>
