It's not a real collar though, is it? Colour me disappointed in that aspect. And South Africa really were very poor.

Let's see if this worked...
Craig, yours appears to be chopped off? (or is that just me...)

I've never understood the rationale behind that 'chicken in a tin" thing either - especially when on the TV advert the tins sprouted little chicken legs and danced around the place. It was like "Look at us, we're so processed and engineered we have ACTUAL LEGS on our tins".
Maybe they're appealing to the same market as those tins of macaroni cheese I see in the supermarket too (Really? tins of macaroni cheese? Dude, how hard is it to just make a cheese sauce?)
(and I looked for a YouTube clip of "Chicken on a Wire" by Export Lamb - food references everywhere - but unsurprisingly one does not exist. So you'll just have to hum along with it playing in my head)

I listen to Morning Report on the way to work, and Checkpoint on the way home. Like Craig, I wasn't particularly impressed with Sean Plunkett and Mary Wilson's "ask the same question 12 times even when it's obvious the answer will not be forthcoming" style, and Sean Plunkett seemed sometimes to be like Duncan Garner - always looking for a "gotcha" at the expense of actually reporting on something.
I like Suzie Ferguson - although I note this morning Geoff Robinson was back, so maybe she'll only ever be used as a fill-in. I think Simon Mercep is still trying to interview like he did on Fair Go, still trying to crusade rather than interview. I hate the "coming up" bits, and the spreading of a 5-minute report into 3 or 4 1 minute pieces - we're all grown-ups, we can concentrate on one thing for that long, this isn't TV news. There's probably more, but this'll do for now.

Yeah, there seem to be increased opinions being voiced of "Why are you still living in Christchurch, it's be better to bowl the whole place and start again, it's going to be too expensive to fix"
Just how much MORE expensive would it be to relocate and rebuild, not to mention what do you do with everything and everyone while you're doing that? The next person who says "Why are people still living in Christchurch" needs to turn it round and think about what they'd do in the same situation. You have friends, family, a job, kids in school - you can't just uproot all of that and just go somewhere else......
