A spade! Why would you need one of those? Are you in a hole and trying to dig your way out? That often doesn't work; ask John. Or are you not in a hole but want to be? Sounds adventurous. On a less imaginative tangent, it's a lovely spade and quite a contrast to, say, a bright shiny stainless steel one. I bent my old spade, so my newest is a few months old. It has some work to do before it gains that more dignified and serious look. Nice series of posts today, too. Right leaning blogs are uninteresting at the moment, a miasma of despair seems to have fallen, whereas your blog is colourful and whimsical.
Ah, AC! Your words are so up-lifting. That shiny spade, eh - hard to get out of one's mind, isn't it! Mine's an old classic and in mint condition. I'm guessing that ORB is a trusted brand - I'll 'look it up' soon. I've just completed a story on the spade and the fate of my now-redundant tools, for the NZ Gardener and I'm pleased with how it 'came out'. I'm not using my ORB to dig (there is no hole, only bluster)but to skim, as is my wont and yes, the 'right' are all stunned by events and internal unravellings. I saw a slater today and recognised it for what it was.
Very disappointed I missed two out of three days of parliament this week. Today I battled my demons. After several years it was time to face the worst of them. With alcohol, of course. Anyway, mission accomplished. The demons turned out to be a figment. Morning has broken. I guess I'm left reading the transcripts. Eviscerating John Banks seems improbable - surely you can only eviscerate someone with guts , and John can't even own his mistakes.

John Banks, btw, is being eviscerated in the House today, as is his tea-party mate, John Key.

Eviscerating the gutless!
That stretches the mind!
Anyway, the Orb is beautiful...what was the slater?

An unpleasant thing that crawled out from under a rock in order to smear Len.
