I think Julia Louis-Dreyfus knows EXACTLY what she’s doing.

And bless her for invoking Rob Ford. Sad the NZ Herald doesn’t seem to get the reference and quotes her as if she was serious. see: Seinfeld star explains nude Rolling Stone cover: I was drunk. How dumb. – P

Kinda funny

Ah! Another very funny 404 page-not-found-page {cringe}

Over at The Paepae’s Facebook page* I have a little collection of images (in a photo album I call ‘Quirkiness‘) which includes funny ‘Page-not-found’ error pages. I’ve just added this one (below), from The Daily Show today which caught me by surprise (as intended, no doubt): Bwhahaha. – P * Feel free to ‘like’ it […]

I guess it depends what you mean by ‘highlights’ Eddie. (Wonderful!)

I’ve expressed before my enormous respect for broadcaster Eddie Mair who hosts BBC Radio 4’s PM news hour. He is silky smooth, a highly capable radio host and an intelligent, persistent interviewer whose voice often betrays a delightful sense of humour, a warm chuckle, and occasionally, gentle mockery, as in his interview with a squirming […]

Lawyer says ‘My inaccurate client wasn’t lying’ (Oh gee, I think I will die laughing)

How lovely for James R Clapper to have someone willing to speak up for his honesty and integrity … Short version: He didn’t lie, he merely “… was surprised by the question and focused his mind on [something else] …”* Now waiting for my kids to try that one on me. – P * “In […]

A lot. Soooo appropriate. One of the pleasures of having a teenage daughter — like mine anyway, and I mean it wholesomely […]

A brief moment of mirth at the doorstep

True: This is the old T-shirt I was wearing this morning as two Jehovah’s Witnesses dropped by with their latest ‘CAN YOU TRUST THE NEWS MEDIA?’ Awake! magazine. Hahaha. – P

OK, so the trip to Wellington for ‘The Hobbit’ movie premiere went well …

Not one to have her spirits dampened by the theft of her iPhone at the weekend, my daughter made a bit of a splash with a couple of friends at The Hobbit Wellington premiere … TV3 Nightline

The place of ‘character’ and ‘voice’ in business

While I generally get on well with most people I meet, I can sometimes be socially clumsy, or gauche, and fail miserably in my communications from time to time (as some people are wont to point out here now and then, bless them), but I try to (a) be consistent — the same person in all […]
