    Yeah, I can't wait for the Year of the Whopper, though Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment does have that special ring to it.

    ... and providing for the nearly-dead, TVCs for funeral director's are starting to pop up on the screen. Maybe we could start up The Dead Channel, as a companion to The Living Channel

  • Hard News: Proud Wednesday,

    Great to see this treasure trove. It may well make life a little easier for me as I am proposing a research project for 2009-2010, to research and begin writing a history of television in New Zealand 1985-2010. It would pick up from Robert Boyd-Bell's 1985 history.
    The world is awash with books on NZ film (I have reviewed at least 5 in the past year) but the television history is very incomplete.
    I have talked to Russell about this and I approaching my faculty for some seeding money for interviews, stills etc.
    I don't know if there is anyone out there with similar plans but I intend to make all my material, once gathered, freely available

    "Even Hamilton"? You almost lost a customer there, David--unless you mean Hamilton, Ontario.

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    There once was a great one in Cuba Street in Wellington, across from Slow Boat Records--once bought a near entire collection of Al Green on vinyl, which remains safely stored away.

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    To be honest though, Borders isn't a shadow of it's past.

    I agree. Visited there on Tuesday and it seemed a bit down-at-heel--great gaps in the magazine section and unexciting DVD specials. Upper Queen Street visits will never be the same,.

  • Hard News: Inimical to the public good,

    Such sad news this morning, with Real Groovy going to the wall. What of life's great pleasures has been taken from us.

  • Hard News: Inimical to the public good,

    An interesting item from BBC online yesterday http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7664088.stm, suggesting that 'Almost 75% of music pirates would stop if told to by their ISP, the survey of 1,500 UK consumers found'.

    Excellent Media 7 taping last night, Russell.

  • Hard News: Rationalisation is at hand!,

    To play devil's advocate for a moment, how about someone having the balls to ask the business lobbyists why the only form of welfare they never have any problem with is corporate welfare pointed at their beneficiary-members?

    I'm with you on this one, Craig. The free market ain't so free anymore, but comes at a cost to taxpayers and wage earners?

    Russell: I may be jumping the gun but I can get to the Media 7 screening next Tuesday. Could you put me down for a cumfy seat?
