Must thank Hard News, as the Naenae Club rooms have now gone civilized and sell cider at the bar.

Nah.  Had a (former) work Quiz night then went to the Kings for Germany vs Serbia so never got to it.  Then Saturdays are ties up with football, early World Cup game, Junior News' game, then mine, then back at the club until 6:30 this evening.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Mr. News,
 
I wish to apologise for the onslaught of messages I sent to you today.

You are, however, a legend.

I love it when News talks
I love it when News walks
         
I love it when News drinks
I love it when News blinks
              
I love it when News says hi
            
I love it when News says
See you in English
                  
I love following News to the mall
                  
And I love...
                  
... collecting strands
Of News' hair... 
                  
... and rolling them up
Into little News hairballs

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Actually, our printer in the office has started chewing up lots of paper and jamming whenever we try to print A3.  Any suggestions?

Don't worry - answering the phones and logging the calls is important as well.

Hard News featured as the face of Yellow Fever on 3 News tonight. You scrubbed up well Mr Cross in your suit. Obviously those rumours of you having a new job were true. Next time though, could you ask them to put "Hard News" in the caption. That would be classic.
