  • Hard News: Some things you may not know,

    I have several rooms of my own and I can barely be bothered cleaning any of them, which, um, must provide a great background for me to be fruitful and creative.

    oh yes! me too, Robyn. And yet my brother, who is in the artistic vein musically etc, is a clean freak. Who would credit it?

  • Hard News: The cane and the strap,

    Disempowerment, disconnection - that's why children die at the hands of their extended families. You can change the laws, make new ones, and garner all the research you want, but it doesn't change the simple fact that people who feel useless, powerless and hopeless generally tend to do some really crap things to their kids. Make early childhood education free and compulsory and then you may get some way to keeping babies alive.

  • Radiation: Back to the 80s,

    There is no doubt. There is no slaughter. No puppies were harmed in the making of this show. We had nothing to do with the recent spate of fatalities among legendary film directors.

    Can I just say how wonderful a writer you are (big suckup) and can we please, please, please hold someone important in TV land to ransom so that we get to see some more of your fabulous Serial Killers? I thought that was one of the best telly programs ever.

  • Radiation: Back to the 80s,

    I never saw most of Sorkin's stuff - except for a few episodes of Sports Night which I liked just because it had Robert Guillaume in it - so maybe that would explain why I don't find it wearing.

    I concur about 30 Rock, Craig, and disagree about Studio 60. I'm really enjoying Matthew Perry, for some strange reason. As for Alec Baldwin, I know he abused his daughter on the phone, but he really is very yummy.

  • Hard News: In the Music,

    if Tom is your father and he had a yacht called the Buccaneer, then...we share a common set of great-great-grandparents

    Yes and yes to both those things, Stephen. That's amazing. My email address is goodeye at xtra dot co dot nz.

  • Hard News: In the Music,

    BTW, Jackie, i'm related to you.
    third cousin, i think.

    are you really? You know I'm not the lovely singing and dancing Jackie Clarke, don't you? Who's your mum? I thought robbery might be my nephew Nick, who's known to be a bit of a smart arse, but the profile's all wrong.

  • Hard News: In the Music,

    I'm a bit worried about the "auntie jackie" comment, robbery. Are you meaning I'm really your auntie, or are you speaking metaphorically? I'm only asking because I have a lot of nieces and nephews, some of whom are in the music bizzo, so it wouldn't be entirely unlikely if you were. Either way, if you're related to me, what would Grandad say? And if you aren't, what would YOUR grandad say about the way you are speaking to people?

  • Hard News: Brimful on the 45,

    Happy, happy birthday Russell. I'm still just in the 39-44 age group thingy so I'm well happy with that survey. And computers.........refused to touch them until 1994. Told my husband I'd rather read a book, and then he got us the Interweb connection, and I got online, and the rest is history. Some of you have had computers for yonks - I feel okay about not understanding much of what is said around here, now. :-D
