The Sifter: Outahere
http://thesifter.blogspot.com/2006/05/outahere.html
Tuesday, May 23, 2006. OK, so most of you know that I'm leaving but for those that didn't know - that's the reason I've been extremely quiet on the posting front lately. And the fact that my farewell "week" as it's been referred to has been rather large. My poor girlfriend is going to pick me up from Heathrow and drive me straight to the Priory. I mean, what sort of misguided logic states that it's a good idea to go on a 12-hour binge on a Sunday (just because you don't have to work on the Monday)?

The Sifter: This is ridiculous.

Tuesday, April 18, 2006. A guy gets arrested for singing along to the 'wrong' song in a taxi ride to the airport. Full story at Reuters. Remind me not to wear my "I have issues" tshirt next time I fly ;-). Posted by the sifter : 4:14 am. Comments: Post a Comment. View my complete profile. Http:/ thesifter.blogspot.com/atom.xml.

The Sifter: September 2005

Friday, September 30, 2005. Geek boy with his toys. Ok, so this is the second attempt to post from the phone whilst supping a martini at a bar. let's see if this works. Posted by the sifter : 8:26 am 5 comments. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Straight from The Onion. Er, rather The Guardian. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico. If it's not the 'gators then it's the dolphins. Only in America :-). What I liked abou...

Thursday, May 04, 2006. Don't buy laptops from crack whores. This is a great little tale. Of some guys buying an Apple laptop that was just far too cheap. Posted by the sifter : 6:36 am.

Monday, December 19, 2005. I never thought I'd say this. but right now, I don't want to even think. Various organs are crying out "Make It Stop". And it's our staff Christmas party tomorrow. ;-).

From London to Rome, and the Stravinskij. Bar at the Hotel Russie. That's not a Martini. That's a glass of spirit waiting to be ...

The Sifter: April 2006
http://thesifter.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 21, 2006. You might say that coffee is another hobby of mine (I've got semi-commercial machines at both home and work [Wega Mininova and Faema Compact]) so I was amused to stumble across a site purporting to be the "New Zealand Coffee Review". It's very Christchurch heavy, but there are a smattering of Wellington reviews. My fav: the dissing of Fuel at the airport by the 'Coffee Monster', who I think should stick to his Robert Harris ;-).

Wednesday, October 19, 2005. OK, I'll play. Tagged me. Here's my 20 things:. Posted by the sifter : 11:02 pm 2 comments. Wednesday, October 12, 2005. Tales of the Kitty. OK, so I'm house-sitting for my folks at the moment. Which also involves feeding and watering Sushi. I got Sushi as a kitten from the SPCA, many, many years ago. When I went on my "O.E" at the late old age of 28, I offloaded her onto my parents (I refer to her as their 'grandchild' ;-). She is now one fat old mama cat. Squirrelled away i...

The Sifter: February 2006

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Dining Out in Napier. So, it seems that whenever I'm in Napier with work I have a bad dining experience. After a pleasant enough pre-dinner drink down on the waterfront at Ahuriri (spying some of the Black Caps), my colleague and I headed into town into search of a curry house. And chose the wrong one. I ordered a Goan fish curry, which I should have returned as soon as it arrived. The fish was so tough I could barely cut through it - it was like overcooked chicken! Along with...

The Sifter: June 2006
http://thesifter.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 23, 2006. Not quite Oriental Bay. This 'beach' has been installed in the Truman Brewery just off Brick Lane, surely one of the epicentres of cool in London. Nothing like this was around when I lived in the area 7 years ago - the skanky old corner pub has now been renovated into a swanky bar, and there's a supermarket open as well. And a great cafe that does an all-day (charcoal! Posted by the sifter : 5:43 pm 2 comments. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Posted by the sifter : 10:34 am 0 comments.
