Books for bookie people
Anyone still refer to an actual book for information? I would love to pass on those listed below. Some of it might be, um, a bit dated.
- Roget's thesaurus (have several but not sure what the plural of thesaurus is)
- Fowler's useful tome
- Brewer's dictionary of phrase & fable (quite old)
- Oxford companion to English lit, ed by Margaret Dabble
- dictionaries of English & NZ English
- world gazetteer
- NZ encyclopedia (quite old)
- Grammar of contemporary English (Quirk, Greenbaum & that other chap)
- and a couple of Pope's guides
Or does anyone know how to humanely offload old reference books? I fear the tip awaits these.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
