When Mao was still alive and we know that as a dictator, he had women servitude with him, so whenever he wanted sex, there was always one available 24 hours.<br /><br />No wondered Farrar brought up the subject of dictatorship this week, because he is desperate to get laid.Kurtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-62396284024182424312010-09-17T21:54:02.039+12:002010-09-17T21:54:02.039+12:00for you and me, not "for you and I"for you and me, not "for you and I"the drunken watchmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-49726390092335964242010-09-17T21:32:24.132+12:002010-09-17T21:32:24.132+12:00Another great article PC.Another great article PC.gregsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786701115887458801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-27598451144261993272010-09-17T18:23:12.648+12:002010-09-17T18:23:12.648+12:00Same as above....Same as above....B Whiteheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-53177849742695079582010-09-17T16:57:59.852+12:002010-09-17T16:57:59.852+12:00Looking on the bright side:
A development company...Looking on the bright side:<br /><br />A development company is currently in discussion with a technical advisor to the Government seeking pricing and time lines to provide new urban neighborhoods on the boundary of Christchurch on non-liquifiable soils. This is part of a scoping exercise looking at a range of remedial options. It seems that the costs of building earthquake resistant homes on liquefiable soils are so high that building new neighbourhoods elsewhere is a more cost-effective solution.<br /><br />The company has suggested that given easy working terrain and assuming reasonable topographical information and land is available for immediate occupation they could prepare a a concept plan and principle engineering solutions for presentation to Council within 2 weeks. <br /><br />Assuming a Special meeting Council and a degree of trust on their part– based on comprehensive insurance and guarantees – the Concept could be approved at the meeting. Machinery could start stripping topsoil within a week while detailed engineering design was undertaken. <br /><br />The government/s could let contracts for the construction of several relocatable house designs to be built off-site to be relocated on site in a programmed manner as partially completed sites are delivered for occupation. <br /><br />The company sees no practical or physical reason why a well managed and sequenced approach cannot deliver 1000 new households within 12 months of today.<br /><br />The cost-savings would be dramatic.<br /><br />What a challenge and demonstration of 'can do' this would be. <br /><br />For once we would know the true costs of compliance and delays and the peer reviews and all the safequards that actually safeguard nothing but the consultants' cash flows.<br /><br />We might end up with affordable housing for the first time in twenty years!Owen McShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130002581563595646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-57544882933740782952010-09-17T13:08:57.163+12:002010-09-17T13:08:57.163+12:00David Farrar is obviously indistinguishable from M...David Farrar is obviously indistinguishable from Mao Zedong in that photo.
