And I'm telling your Mum ...

Are we going to 'fess up to our nom de blogs? I'll start, I'm Redbaiter.
I'm telling your brother on you.

Just a note to thank you folks for being able to vigorously discuss an inevitably fractious subject without getting nasty. Nice.

The music is so very soothing.
Yeah, I thought that too. Almost disturbingly so ...

The 2006 48 Hours grand national winner, from the down low concept. Starring popular Tongan actor Josh Thomson, aka the ex-Fresh Up guy.

Done. Guess we can look at adding editing once things settle down.

Russell: Is the intention to give all PA posts a "discuss" button, or only when the author decides he/she wants a comments thread?
The latter.

The most spectacular blooper in the early days would have to be Xtra's homepage search engine. The search engine on the homepage of most NZers for most of the 90s and through till mid 2001. See... NOT SHARP: "Scoop" = "Seborrhoeic Keratosis" - a search engine which could truly be relied on to consistently provide you with completely useless and irrelevant results.
I'd completely forgotten that. Was it by any chance part of the fad for "fuzzy logic" searching? I dimly recall another local search engine that branded itself on fuzziness. It would reliably serve up stuff you weren't looking for.
Great post Al, BTW.

I'm still puzzled that Carlaw Park doesn't seem to be under serious discussion. Cr Richard Simpson made a pretty good case for it, I though:

How many of you keen viewers of our long running and social satire 'soap' have considered that there is a strong commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in this production - I kid you not, as apart from the carefully-placed artworks, posters (in staff cafe) and the tangihanga that was just choreographed, we even have the 'macho' doctor with the Oz accent speaking Te Reo Maori appropriately and appositely on the MArae. This is not chance people, this is a collaboration with senior Maori advisers some of whom I met recently at the second Maori Writers' Hui. Think about it, shouldn't there be more authentic acknowledgements within aminstream TVNZ of our bicultural roots, our foundation (as acknowledged by Justices from Lord Cooke of Thorndon on) document Te Tiriti and its principles of partnership. I for one have in the past used Shortland Street to work with students whose lives (regrettably) in some not so good aspects reflected some of what was happening 'on the Street' and speaking of streets, it is high time the programmers 'canned' Coro' it has been the ruin of mnay a poor boy and Kevin List of scoop is surely one!
I'm his mother, I know!
Kia kaha
