  • Hard News: Two very different topics,

    "Auckland -- like Wellington, but with celebrities!"

    It could work.

    Both for Auckland, and for Wellington.

  • Hard News: Two very different topics,

    My partner appears to have ad-blocking software installed in his head, but the other night I made him switch it off and watch that ad for Auckland. Then I said, "What was that an ad for?" His reply? "Wellington."

    There's a bunch of money well spent.

    p, that was WAY over the line, way over it. If you have a pressing need to discuss anal knife insertion, I suggest you find somewhere else to do it, because you're not welcome here.

    Done and doing.

    I don't see why my mechanic couldn't be the guy "up the front" at a wedding - presuming that the only state recognition of marriage is an official form signed by both partners with appropriate witnesses.

    My partner and I were just discussing what the celebrant is actually FOR and why you have to have one at all. We eloped and had the lowest-key civil union you possibly could, but we still needed a celebrant, and apparently a witnessed ceremonial declaration of intent - more than you need to make a will.

  • Field Theory: All Misty-Eyed,

    Kahui travelled and the coach was saying yesterday medical staff expect him to be right for the final.

    To be fair, according to Twitter he may be on a plane to Vanuatu with me and Megan and Jo. I'm just sayin'.

    I've seen nothing from p to indicate that he has the ability or intention to contribute anything to any discussion. Can I ask people to simply not feed the troll in this case?

  • Hard News: Advertisements for diversity,

    I think a rule of thumb for live crosses would be to not do them in a place where _no_ information relevant to the story originated.

    The day I watched this Media7, TV3 did a live cross to a reporter standing in the dark with the Sky Tower behind him, so he could introduce a piece on the Super City. He could have been standing in front of one of the Daily Show's blue screens for all the good it did.

    Okay, well how are people feeling about I/S's plan to amend the Marriage Act? It seems like a fairly simple step to marriage equality: can we get some kind of consensus around it?

    And Kyle, I know how you feel. My initial purpose in writing this column was to just shove the issue forward so it didn't disappear off the radar completely. But now I do feel this slight disappointment that I can't push people towards something constructive (besides Russell's advertisements for diversity, which I have been pushing people to).
