For anyone that's not in Auckland and attending the Blogger drinks, come and have a virtual drink here and a good chat with our regular Friday crowd. Newcomers welcome.
UPDATE: Oh dear. Poland's in trouble for telling an Obama joke.

I guess everybody who's anybody is at the pub shouting Fairfacts Media a going-away beer. I suppose I could have mailed him a tenner and he could have one on me too, but planning was never my strongpoint.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good evening NZ Conservative authors, looks like it's just us non-northern types tonight.
Hi PM! We have a few non-Northerns who visit. They may be along later after they've eaten.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's reading through a number of our labels right now. They've just got to radical-nutjobs. I didn't even know we had such a label! Make mental note to use it in the future when idiots doesn't apply.
ReplyDeleteNo Minister has a huge list of labels, mostly with one post that used them. Eventually my brain worked enough to figure out that this wasn't an excellent use of labels. A more effectual person would have come up with some useful system of labelling posts (a librarian! I need a librarian! Oh...), but being an essentially lazy type I settled for just not using the labels any more.
ReplyDeleteEvening all. Nice day here today. With all the cloud I can see coming over the hills toward me, Palmy must a bit of cloud cover tonite PM?
ReplyDeleteYes the list of labels grows ever longer - have often thought about shortening it somewhat. Never use it anyway.
No, it's been beautiful here today and still clear tonight. The clouds are all on the ranges. There's also no wind, which you bet is worthy of a mention - there's a reason for all those windmills I can see on the skyline...
ReplyDeleteEvening.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to pop over halfdone - I'm asking people to share what their parents taught them.
Wordpress has tags and categories, the idea is that you have wide categories, covering a lot of stuff, but you can enter tags for every thing in posts that you want.
Never fear Bill is here..
ReplyDeleteNot at the cav, although young skywalker is driving up to have a couple of days at barnsley manor next week.. He thinks for a holiday!
He will in fact be helping to dredge the last of the rotting hedgehogs and palm fronds from the pool and weeding this years pineapples.
Weeding pineapples is akin to undertaking dental work on a crocodile that has smoked an industrial quantity of P.
I may allow him to wear gloves.
Oh, and BOI weather report.. stinking hot, no wind and the new enlarged hair hole on my head feels like I have been slapped on the scone with a 10 pound trout.
It never blows here downwind from Palmy. We have 'active' weather. And have been very lucky of late with the wind, but could do with some rain. Ground drying out too fast - drought is on it's way.
ReplyDeleteAnd BB, remember it is not a good look to catch the hedgehog that her indoors had been feeding every evening in the possum trap on the ground.
You're counting on him not dropping by here and reading this then?
ReplyDeleteGood on you though - you're doing him a favour. When he gets back to the UK he'll be able to tell himself "At least there's no f*****g pineapples..."
Good Grief! Has politics become such a boring subject that we are reduced to asking each other whether the wether can weather the weather?
ReplyDeleteDidn't the Cav used to be called the Suffolk. In my younger days that place was the dive up the hill where you didn't go unless you have a skinfull.
ReplyDeleteRemember some bugger getting knifed there and the cops were over the shop for weeks.
I used to drink at the Spotted Dog (Leopard Tavern in those days, brew from Hastings?) or in the BirdCage down the bottom of the hill by Vic Park.
Shouldn't you be down the pub?
ReplyDeleteAdolf, we've got all bloody week to snipe at pollies!
ReplyDeleteHey oop Milt. Don't be too sure. Them Yorkshiremen are up to all sorts of tricks.
ReplyDeleteEvening all, hope you're all toasting FM in milk to help us poor dairy farmers :)
ReplyDeleteBarnsley Bill has published a self help guide at no minister... Nice, third person speak... Yellow tail Merlot and scallops..
ReplyDeleteThe election marks a major shift in the blogosphere. Labour has been in power for so long, that a lot of us are taking time to adjust to the new situation.
ReplyDeleteAnd the left are going crazy. Well, more than previous :)
Well HP - if the price of cheese goes down I'll be consuming more for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope cheese comes down, how I long for a block of tasty.
ReplyDeleteBB, love it. Grants Family Reserve.
ReplyDeleteI crave cheshire cheese, that crumbly texture and sharp socklike after taste..
ReplyDeleteCheese addiction is a wicked mistress.
Tasty, BB? You're a philistine. There's nothing to beat a slab of Stilton on sesame crackers, with a glass of Aussie Moet (Yellow Glen) followed by a generous a cup of twn year old tawny.
ReplyDeleteCannot do the Stilton. Oh how I have tried, battled fiercely with the stench and gag reflex.. Just not up to the task..
ReplyDeleteAll good with the tawny though.. How was young skywalkers farewell drinkies?
Evening all.
ReplyDeleteOK, what have I missed? Labels, now there's a topic that fires my interest. Maybe I should have been a Librarian? Can you get into trouble for reading on the job? Isn't it just getting to know the product? Stock management or something?
I want a tool that allows at least a two level label categorisation system. I suppose ISO 2788 is too much to ask for.
Today was interesting. I finally figured out how to time travel.
ReplyDeleteGo on then, I'll bite.. How does time travel work?
ReplyDeleteWell, so far I've figured out to travel at a rate of 1 second per second.
ReplyDeleteSecond per second?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that acceleration?
Now I've run out otf the nectar of the gods. What next? Pusser's rum?
ReplyDeleteAdolf - you can have the stilton, I'll go for Whitestone Windsor Blue on oat biscuits, or with asparagus and fresh bread.
ReplyDeleteI went looking for the numbered bottle of Pusser's rum, but found a bottle of Black Label.
ReplyDeleteAcceleration? You might be right PM of NZ. That would explain the Doppler effect I was experiencing tonight.
ReplyDeleteAs cars approach me, the lights were white. But as the cars moved away from me the lights appeared red.
Doppler effect? Now there's something I can understand. Certainly not the colour of approaching headlights vs receding taillights.
ReplyDeleteWell, the equivalent optical version of the Doppler effect...and wasn't his first name Christian?
ReplyDeleteAh...taillights. You might be on to something there. Could have sworn it was a blue/red shift in the visible spectrum.
ReplyDeleteHad a boring evening trying to avoid High School Musical on the telly - joys of having a daughter.
ReplyDeleteDidn't have anything much to do and then we realised we could have gone to the Auckland blog drinks.
Ah well, we can hang out here. What's on offer?
