Possibly my favourite book review ever.
The Misadventures of Polly Gillespie
Whether you know Polly Gillespie as a cosmetic-surgery cautionary tale or an overbearing radio personality, you can now add mediocre memoirist to...
I made the mistake of reading Pollys “tribute” to Jonah when he died. From memory it was all a bunch of shit about her with some tired anecdote of a time she was at a bar overseas and Jonah was there with her tacked on the end ( which I somehow read to )
What a ghastly waste of space she is.

Even for stuff this is barrel scraping bullshit. Wellington has always been a tricky place to land. Is it yet another lame dig at Jetstar ?
I'm not allowed to comment. Broken record apparently, according to @MajorRage anyway. My comment above is purely about the reporting, which is shit.

Another in the “how the fuck is this actually news?” Posts that we see on here.......pretty sure I’ve had a few of these when flying into the nations glorious capital. My folks got sent back to Auckland a couple of years back, where is the stuff.co.nz story on that ?
Does it cite twitter?

Wasn't she married to his kidneys once?

Grant is a hell of a nice fella. What he was doing with her is anyone’s guess.

@smudge Thanks for that
I particularly liked
Gillespie is the framed “Live. Laugh. Love” picture on the bedroom wall of banality.
and
For all this book’s faults, the women’s mag readers will no doubt swallow every insipid morsel; seagulls picking through the ripped bin bag of Gillespie’s brain.
although the womens mag sneer is a bit intellectually elitist and redundant

You'll love this reporting:
The Metropolitan Airports Commission confirmed the incident, adding that the plane aborted its launch and returned to a gate at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The door was reportedly found nearby.

Honestly, Britain is not as bad as you make out

@donsteppa
I've only been nervous on a flight once. Returning to London from Egypt you could hear wind whistling round one of the doors so loud that you could not hear the movie soundtrack even with headphones. Cabin crew stuffed towels around the doorWe didn't divert or land but it was a bit eerie. @Snowy how 'normal' is this?

@mn5 the plane fly's the plane. The pilots are just there to make the cattle feel comfortable.
Have you not read @Snowy 's posts. He was a petrol jockey trying to save the airline fuel who spent most of his time deciding where he'd drink at his destination and thinking up ways to scare the passengers and / or piss off the crew.
That's what I've taken from them anyway...

Nice try, but I don't comment on aviation related topics. Too boring for some.

@dogmeat Dungeon planning. You forgot dungeon planning.
More than happy to talk about that. It is of course a cellar for chianti and fava beans with some space for people that piss me off, or even "interest" me.
It is actually you guys that bring this up. I just play along, and will continue to do so as I am actually planning one.

News!
That's right there with the article about the wife that stayed with her transgender husband for 12 years since he "transformed"

Definitely pays not to write shit online when you’re pissed.
The fern is exempt from this rule of course.

Obviously a stupid and dickish move by the twat, but now comes the overload of virtue signallers piling on and effectively killing a business. What about all the poor folk that will be out of work? The bloke has resigned, that ought to be enough.

I think an apology and an explanation of the context was enough personally but that’s just me.
Mind you that’s no where near enough in this day and age of perfectly behaved virtue signallers who’ve never made mistakes in the heat of a moment.
