Loved Dire Straits, seen them twice, but hate this song for its trivialness.

Watched "The Charismatic Voice" a youtube where an opera singer analyses songs and the singers voice. For the first time I learned what "Overkill" by Men at Work was about. I never understood the lyrics until I watched this with them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkPQ... Totally recommend this.

Does the limpet know his nickname and is it based on attachment issues?

Surely car designers are not taking any notice of the American public about vehicle design. Just look at the crap they currently produce based on the buying populace....

It doesn't say, but is she American by any chance?

Good gracious, the 80's called and want their car designers back.

I dunno... I cycled past some very famous tourist attractions when touring. When asked I said I didn't notice them because I was cycling. And once past I wasn't turning around. The journey is enough. I bored people by taking photos of food and cycle paths.

Great news in the new RNZ political poll about the rise of the left in NZ. With less than 5 days between the American Elections and the NZ elections I wonder how much the euphoria of the Republicans being booted out will enhance the desire of people to vote against the National block here.

Yeah, I made the mistake of not noticing "on order" which subsequenty meant it was assembled by elves in Africa or somewhere.

I ordered and paid for a dryer on the 10th of August from Noel Lemmings online. Still waiting nearly 2 months later for delivery.

"Losing the United States’ membership would deprive the Commission of a valued perspective and experience" Yeah, nah. America has nothing to teach the rest of the world about democracy except what not to do.

Reading graffiti in a tramping hut and think.... Why don't we write graffiti from the future? "Emporer Trumps war meant the nuclear winter has killed our crops. We are hiding here while everyone is being killed for food. 2027"

The mystery deepens. No one else has turned up, yet the DOC booking system says "full". Are DOC only allowing 4 unpowered campers a night to stay to reduce maintenance?

There isn't any wastage. Just throw the leftover crushed garlic into the meal as well

Weird things happening at St Arnauds DOC campground. We got the second to last unpowered site. It's now 7pm. Hardly anyone else here! Looked back on the DOC booking site no vacancies. Where is everyone? 10 sites empty, 3 present.

Actually it's now 4 years old and only dropped a little in value from when we bought it.

We bought a 2 year old second hand ev, looks and runs like new at a cheaper cost.

Nice shoes. I have a pair similar. Love them, clip in and can walk in them like ordinary shoes. My only suggestion is that you will always fall off at least once. But it doesn't hurt. www.pushbikes.co.nz/products/shi...

Recently had Ethiopian coffee. They buy green beans really cheap from the Coffee Coop cafe in Addington. Roast them in a pot like popcorn. Makes really good coffee.

Do the same in New Zealand. Such vehicles appeal predominantly to those with self esteem issues.
