  • Hard News: Here and There,

    My lowlight from him came early on when he was squeeling about how their were "three All Black players with their hands on the ball and he's given the scrum to South Africa!!!!".

    Umm... Tony. He signalled held up over the line. The entire All Black team could have been making love to the ball and it would have been a South African scrum.

    I agree Yamis. When we scored the two late tries TJ was wanking on about 'This is the conditioning programme, this is the difference the AB mgt wanted that will set the All Blacks apart... etc...'

    Jeez Tony, it ain't porno, we can enjoy the game without the love soundtrack you know.

  • Hard News: Singapore, I have a problem,

    Heh. The iMac's got a way to go before it overhauls the piece-of-crap Acer in the kids' room though. And Firewire target disk mode is a remarkably handy way to get to a hosed computer ...

    Heh, I lost the system disk on the family PC last week. Relatively minor to fix and all data is on a separate disk and backed up etc... But the huge pain was from the little ones in the family, cruelly cut off from their Interweb, games, music etc... and I wasn't to be allowed a moments peace until I'd sorted it for them.

    Sam's 9, I must start teaching him how to rebuild the things himself, save me the bother.

  • Island Life: White and bright,

    I was kept in hospital for a week when I was born, while doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually they just came to the conclusion that, uhhh, I was white.

    I hear you can get a cream for that nowadays.

  • Island Life: White and bright,

    Can't I be pale and pretty?

    You look absolutely fine to me Robin. As fine as a 10mm high cartoon woman has ever looked, in fact.

  • Island Life: White and bright,

    Presumably in future we'll just tint away at our leisure. Increase the blackness ting for those high UV summer months, and drop back to a nice Scando pale for Winter.

    I expect some conservative souls would try to settle on a nice light nut brown permanently but I'll certainly be going for Yellowman Dancehall in Lapland look.

  • Stories: Overseas Experience,

    You could work for Investigate!

    Or 'How clean is your house?'. Surely the most despicable piece of reality TV yet.

    My kids love it...

  • Stories: Overseas Experience,

    ...the owners of Wellington's Café Verona, Janis and Sue

    Or Caffe Astoria even. Thanks for reminding me Russ. I need to contact the fearsome pair.

    BTW, we always presumed Janice felt nicely at home in such a flat. With her Nazi book collection and dim view of the world. Sort of like a culinary Jimmy Page in his Aleister Crowley mansion.

  • Hard News: Ready to Fly,

    In our house, we did 'violent tv is bad for kids'... via Futurama.

    'Bite my shiny metal ass'!

    Us too...

  • Radiation: Pathetic, not,

    Friends in America, eh. I guess that means I have friends in the UK

    Speaking of the UK, was the last episode of 'Shameless' the best use of fake semen in a TV drama ever or what?

    The cum slurping on TV1's 'Truth About Food' probably had a higher potential for TV outrage due to screening time and viewing audience but 'Shameless', normally a contender for best TV naughtiness, really went to town last week.

  • Radiation: Pathetic, not,

    Also Kidnapped is really good

    Yes we started to get into this and then missed a couple of ep's, not good. Sunday is not the best night for trying to keep up with a series as I'm more likely to slope off to bed trying not to think about what Monday has in store...

    Good show though, from what I saw of it.
