Clinton also provided some matching pictures from his 2006 visit to the Titan nuclear missile facility in Arizona.

Ah yes, saw that. I'll write it up next week.
And how cool would it be to see Allen Meek back in the band!?

Would it also be fair to say that while requiring The Spinoff to prove in its article a case it was able to prove outside it, the Press Council did not make the same demand of the complainant's complaint?

If it's the NewsHub column I'm think it is, MediaWorks seems to have removed the "boyfriend" bit.

In your case it might make sense just to stay on Gt North Rd all the way to Pt Chev.
Heh. I'm fucked if I'm doing that with the current state of the road past the Connection works. Shit is ugly around there.

Hard News: Radio B and the secret pirates, in reply to Dennis Frank,
I was on the periphery – got friendly with Selwyn Jones in ’71 who told me how he was deeply involved in building the Radio Bosom enterprise.
He seems like a hugely interesting character – and a significant tastemaker when it came to music.
Solidarity with Bosom was due to the fact that those who created it were genuine rebels like us, but it soon trended away from the avante garde towards the mainstream.
Yes, there was clearly a shift around 1974 away from the original freaks to people who really wanted to work in radio – but any number of crazy things have happened around the station in the years since.

Hard News: Radio B and the secret pirates, in reply to Paul Campbell,
I guess I’m uncomfortable with portraying the old Post Office radio inspectors as bumbling incompetents … I knew some of them from back then and IMHO they were anything but
More likely their bosses had Muldoon breathing down their necks and they were under extreme pressure. I think that more likely they wanted to make sure the equipment wasn’t interfering with anyone else and otherwise look the other way.
Fair enough. But it was hard to read the original reports and not inwardly cheer for the clever students.
