Having missed the funeral of an old work colleague a few years ago we are now almost paranoid bout it.<br /><br />The rest of the paper is crap and largely not worth reading as I have already read what interests me on the net.pdmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13011861811163633347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-48630413595901099182013-02-28T22:44:10.540+13:002013-02-28T22:44:10.540+13:00Karl

I know several people in Auckland who stopped getting their APN delivered paper because they could keep up with these important (to them) details without cost. Maybe they have a cunning plan to make online content behind paywalls soon, that is, after everyone has become dependant on having it for free.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027005081884493625noreply@blogger.com
