Listening to: All Of This And Nothing - The Psychedelic Furs
Welly is having “issues” with it’s gas supply (a trial run for life after peak oil ;-))… it’s starting to have a real impact now - restaurants are really having a hard time and so are some of the inner city food producers. Found this over at WellUrban:
Wellington Brewing Company had to dump 8000 litres of wheat beer: enough to keep thirsty Wellingtonians satisified for several minutes.
With Molly Millions’ “implanted” glasses, though, I could never dream up a sufficiently convincing way to imagine them being attached. Were they “implanted” in skin, muscle, bone, all of these?
