…that a video game like this even exists. This morning, a Breakfast programme discussed the less-than-commendable notion of borrowing funds to invest during a recession… …and my wife just now walked in the door from a work-leaving do (for non-NZ readers, ‘do’ means ‘event’ or ‘party’), which involved walking through the Sky City building, and mentioned how surprised she was to see how busy the casino was. Interesting. Prof. John Stackhouse’s post (here) on the recent “bus campaigns” is quite good and balanced I think. Apparently, the board of a Vancouver bus company has the following regulation on bus ads: “No advertisement will be accepted which promotes or opposes a specific theology or religious ethic, point of view, policy or action.” . . . → Read More: buses, religion and life Recent US stimulus package = nearly a trillion US dollars.

I also particularly appreciated her prayers. I don’t know as of yet if they are hers exactly or reconstructions of the writers, but here they are as in the film: . . . → Read More: sophie scholl I’d absolutely love (or maybe hate? or both?) to know how much the huge (several ‘windows’ wide and several stories high) ads for shortland street (which I saw today in Auckland city-centre) cost to make, install, display and dispose-of… It’s a freekin’ TV show… (on a different tack, the two ‘by-lines’ I remember from the ads were: 1) “Trust no . . . → Read More: shortland street publicity costs |
