Installation fee, in a remote area =$40. It was the same for my mother in Oamaru.

Van is goofy but also extremely sweet and loyal and well-meaning. We enjoy the goofiness at the same time as worrying about him and hoping he'll be OK.
The creators of Outrageous Fortune definitely regard character as the bedrock of the series. All else flows from that.
But we didn't know Van was sweet and loyal and loving at the start of the series. We had to be shown that.
OTOH, I think I'm going to have a problem with the fact that Wolf and Cheryl look the same age as some of their children.

re: Scoundrels
Hmmmm....
Van = Cal
Jethro = Logan
Loretta = Hope
Pascalle = Heather...yet Wolf = Wolf and Cheryl = Cheryl.
I wonder what caused the (partial) re-namings? -
In other Friday happy news, Fongers gets to get rid of Lhaws, whether they wanted to or not.

In a perfect world, the consequent reduction in stress would ameliorate Laws' worst excesses. There have been times -- his unfathomable on-air denunciation of some firemen comes to mind -- when it's really seemed there's something wrong there.

Here's a wee game. Compare the Herald headline with the Stuff one. Spot the difference?

Nice! Although I am currently mesmerised by the Herald asking its readers how they would stop the oil spill.

Watching that trailer makes you realise how damn good Robyn Malcolm is, eh

Speaking of headlines, Mikey just telegraphed a big announcement about the real reason he left bFM breakfast by saying 'The uncanny resemblance to this story' made him break his silence.
Laugh, I nearly did!

Most popular option so far: "Plug it with environmentalists".
Second most popular option: Nuke it...
... which has, sort of, been done before. Please excuse the first twenty seconds of this vid; the rest is fascinating.

Damn. Now I'll have to get rid of my 'Repeal

Poetic justice!
This comment on Stuff.co.nz summed it up quite nicely...
H or P #66: Not sure why he wasted his time with the H in Wanganui when P was a bigger problem.

Sky sub - basic plus sport and my sky $81.70 per month - so still not the full package (and no magazine). And I suggest most people initially get Sky for the sport (as this household did on the understanding the sports watcher was going to pay for it ...hmmm - wonder what happened to that idea?) so I doubt whether many people have just the basic basic package. And that doesn't include the cost of the television, and electricity.
Whereas the old licence fee was about $25 per year, I recall, for everything.
So I still think that stuff made with tax payers' money, NZ on Air funding or whatever, should at least be available on free to air.
-
I forgot about paying the sub for MySky, because we paid the $600 outright. Me and my heedless privilege! Yeah, that would hike things up a bit...

Regarding media craziness and stupidity about the Gulf oil spill, I think xkcd has the last word.

It was closer to $100 just before it was abolished.
(Annoyingly the relevant legislation isn't available online to check.)

And did you know that you still don't own the bloody box? I looked at getting MySky for Ian, and I couldn't believe that you pay the one off fee, and the box belongs to Sky. How rude.
-
On the other hand, when ours got zapped by a power cut last month, Sky came and replaced it without us having to worry about warranties...

You're obsessed. Face it. He's a lucky man to have you as a fan.

I like Hype Machine because it finally allows me to quantify exactly how much more than mine the opinions of other people are worth. For instance: if I like a song, I give it 31 points. If Russell likes it, the song receives 155 points. Therefore his opinion is five times as valuable as mine. I find this comforting somehow.
-
Just be thankful Ashton Kutcher doesn't know about Hype Machine. What he liked would be number one all the time.

Russell: Whilst we are the subject of raising profiles, could you pass on my gratitude to the person responsible for Website we love in the Listener this week.

The world of pop is but my plaything.That's awesome, and also makes a complete mockery of my AU Post Grad Dip in Marketing. Thanks. Two years of my life wasted, and all I needed to know was that if you've got Russell Brown on your team, you win!
