It probably interfered with his feeding and sleeping routine.

Max HATES it when other people are within a 600km radius. He hides in the roof.

Nahla just thinks the extra people are there to lavish attention upon her
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

My youngest is going with friends, but I'm probably going to go and watch my older lad's game instead, I think.

I will be a Lang Park for the semi final Australia V Fiji and the World Cup final if anyone wants to check in.

Will be in Brisbane in between times as well if anyone wants to catch up.

Might go to cricket Saturday or at some stage if I can get a ticket... but the World Cup takes priority.

Unknown.

The mythical creature known as Nickman has several mysteries.
His age, head circumference and bum height remain unknown.

Some say, the answer to all three is like a tree. You need to count the rings.
It’s just that no one knows where to find said rings

It's hard to know, but that one will be the closest to my actual birthday of any of the others this year, I'd wager.
