Wonder how many fans will get mugged. I swore I'd never go there again (and I haven't)

I once was sworn into court using a copy of Genetic Data Analysis II by Bruce Weir. Seemed appropriate

Have you seen an electric pruner? I got my wife one, and found myself wondering why they hadn't featured yet in a movie...

I lived at Muriwai until the summer of '81. Feels like a few superficial changes to Helensville, but underneath it's still the same...

So the gang headquarters across the road wasn't warning enough? :-)

I used to wear that on a T-shirt to actual meetings. Went down a treat.

I don't know what it says about us as a country that they have to issue traffic warnings for the opening of a chain store...

2/2 The album is heavy on instrumentals and light on lyrics. That being said, the songs with lyrics are strong. Tracks 1 and 2 (Alone and And Nothing Is Forever) stand out. It's most comparable to Disintegration and in that regard doesn't come close. I think a solid 3/5 for what is probably the last

Having listened through Songs of a Lost World by The Cure end to end four times now, I can finally render an opinion. The Cure is probably better called Robert Smith and Band these days. To the best of my knowledge none of the original members apart from Smith remain. 1/2

No. So do I. I also like the Sex Pistols and Van Morrison.

That's probably why she is hanging out at the moment just before the "Divvy" on SH23 :-)

The "mainland" where no one lives :-) She's actually a Southerlander where the claim that they are all cousins has a ring of truth ๐Ÿ˜
