Images I see when walking between my home and Auckland CBD. Updated at least twice weekly. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. I once got kicked out of a flat for being too happy in the mornings. How insufferable I was in my salad days! Now, of course, part of the problem of forgetting (gasp! To put up this post last night is that it's morning-cotton-wool-head gal writing to you, not night-owl gal. Coincidentally, this ad is all about mornings:. As with employment law. The devil writes the fine print:. NZ Geral...

No social commentary this time; just a piece of pure, unadulterated pedantry (my favourite kind). Spot the visual mistake:. So the X marks the spot where you "cut out" your home phone. to reveal the home phone cord? Shouldn't that have disappeared with the rest of the phone? Whooo, with that last grainy pic I feel like a UFO spotter. It's there! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, September 13, 2011. The Pretentious Poet #3: Cilla McQueen. New Zealand Gerald's third Pretentious Poet is Cilla McQueen. The extent to which McQueen has managed to pull the wool over the eyes of the NZ Poetry Establishment is best evidenced by the fact that she brazenly describes one of her writing projects as poet laureate as a novella.

Mad About Ads: don't fall for it
http://adribbing.blogspot.com/2010/11/patience-little-ones.html
Images I see when walking between my home and Auckland CBD. Updated at least twice weekly. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Don't fall for it. One question for this billboard: Why? Why does it take a strong character to wear purple everyday? Why is purple is not yet the new black? Indigo's close enough surely? Growls the billboard in munterish, deep Hauraki FM dj tones, "people might think you're a poofter, mate.". Classic. Makes me wanna buy your product. Uh, I think I'll pass.

Images I see when walking between my home and Auckland CBD. Updated at least twice weekly. Sunday, October 24, 2010. The bank robots have kidnapped the good doctor. And are using his recipes for our favourite childhood candy to lure us into their clutches:. They cannot completely hide their nefarious doings.
