State visit to Taiwan in progress…

…for the next few days. Might Twitter something (see ‘Twitter’ thing on right), subject to availability of wifi and Tweet-worthy occurrences.

Meanwhile, saw the April 9, 2015 edition of Rolling Stone. Last time I saw this magazine was several decades ago, back when it was full of stuff about acts like, er, Ringo, Van Morrison, James Taylor and (for the younger readers) the Beastie Boys…

    Ringo Starr never, ever, looked that young.

    Productivity in some Hong Kong quarters will increase in your absence!

    ?Any sharp, pointy objects on your flight?

    A Cathay Pacific flight that was due to travel from London to Hong Kong with 262 passengers on board at 10.20pm on Saturday was delayed following a “crew-related incident” a spokesperson for the airline said.

    The Metropolitan police said they were called to a staff search area at Heathrow at around 9.10pm on Saturday and found a member of a flight crew in possession of knives. “Officers attended and subsequently a member of the flight crew, a man, was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and possession of a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place.

    @NIMBY: Rolling Stone isn’t exactly known for factual reporting these days…

    So while you’re gone, Hemlock, the political reform trainwreck is kicking off and Regina Ip is being even more revoltingly bigoted than usual, which takes some doing. Be glad you’re missing it. Your blood pressure will thank you.

  6. Headache says:

    NIMBY, I’m sure Hemmers will be flying on the EVA Air Hello Kitty Jet so there’s nothing to fear (the Hello Kitty Murder was just so 1999).

  7. NIMBY says:

    Apparently someone else likes the NIMBY name, as the olde NIMBY who has haunted this place for some year or so did not post the 2nd comment.
