Well, lessee. I love several things about Weeds. Here are a few:

Thanks, Professor Schama - and in my not so humble opinion, both the United Kingdom and little old New Zealand have a lot of shit to clean up in our own backyards before going anywhere else and sniffing at the natives.
Now Craig, what's the world coming to if we can't have a good laugh at foreigners? Have we learned nothing from the teachings of Homer?

watch their movies
Correct.
listen to their music
Correct
wear their jeans/shoes/t-shirts/brands
Correct
buy their fast food
Pffft, I don't think so. Can't even stand Subway to be honest, with it's strange unnatural bread smells and sweet syrupy sauces.
Also, does anyone else find the food on American shows on Food TV a bit scary looking? It always looks soft focus and mucusy to me. Bluk.
drink their coffee
You're havin' a laff! Are you havin' a laff?

Does anyone know of other places to get real ale in NZ?
Check out Real Beer NZ for good coverage of proper beer. And can I just put a small plug in for the Nelson area. With Founders, Harringtons, Light House, Mussel Inn and the Renaissance Brewery over the hill in Blenheim, we're pretty well sorted for a pint in this part of the world.

Oooh yeah, lets not get started on Tommy Smyth 'wid a Y'.
Hear hear Richard. I'm always happy to watch Liverpool and Barca in the Champions League (until West Ham get there that is) and he doesn't half stink the place out.

I actually thought that was a valid and timely observation, and also the kind of thing that tends to be much more evident when you're at the ground and on the sideline. I'm as frustrated by crap commentary as the next guy, but I don't think Johnson was out of line there.
Yeh I've always thought TJ was OK (he's a good Marlborough man after all) up until the last couple of seasons when the imperative to lift the comments tempo seems to have gone up.
Weirdly, the SAf commentators in the past have often been the easiest to listen to. Sure they're biased like the rest but they do more actual commentating on the game and the play than either the Aus or NZ guys do.
