Solid answer.

Best gig I ever saw was crowded house in Hamilton. They were o.k. but after Tim Finn joined in and they played a long set of Split Enz bangers for what was their hometown show.

Epic night.

A frenetic shark attack.

You regret U2 though, right?

It was quite a thing - the tactical nuke.

Another fun fact, when the US navy became nuclear armed with their pre-nuclear age warships, the warheads were stored in the brig.

It's written on the tin. He is literally the climate change minister.

Winston's supporters think it's part of DMA.

It's also a shit song.

I regard a trip across on the ferry as something every school aged child should do at least once. But there's no way.

I'll take my and my family's chances with the Air New Zealand pricing algorithm and an ATR-72 or Q300.

It's only cynical bad faith if people believe it. Otherwise it's only cynical.

Which country has a centre-left Labour party?

No sweat.

I enjoy the railway content on bsky, but don't always remember to like or comment.

I keep reading "Challender" as "Challenger," and wondering why BNSF have adopted a UP word.

Nice pic.

Those fourwheelers look for all the world like NZR "L" type. Especially with the orange tarpaulin.

Well, a salt planet might knock off the kikuyu, perhaps. Possibly. From a certain point of view.

I was one of the lucky ones.

I was in West Chicago a month or so ago during a lull in the fighting, and waitied for a good ten minutes at a level crossing as two westbound freight trains were fleeing on the double tracks - one ever so slightly faster than the other. I hope they made it to the safe haven of Iowa.

Fortunately, the legible handwritten note that will someday be needed to save a life probably won't include mathematics.

That was the long-held hope, that more women would mean a better Police. But there's a woman or two at the top of the Coster-Fuck of a situation. So maybe not a critical mass yet?

Well, as I told a constable I know the other day "just remember it's only the 99% that make the rest of you look bad."

Oh I agree he's a shit. But that's why I think he'd have put the boot in.

Either way, he owes Tamantha Paul an apology. And the whole country for that matter.

I'm picking he didn't. He was quite junior when he left - and would enjoy putting the boot in on a deputy commissioner or two, three, four.
