    Yeah - I was trying remember how it worked - she wasn't so word blind as that (the square bracket bit was to help understanding, not what was said).

    It may have been something like:

    "Jonah Lomu has been in discussions with the Rugby Union and has resigned.

    The two year deal will see Lomu..."

    IO - I've heard worse.

    A few years back, One News reported that Jonah Lomu had resigned [from the All Blacks]. Actually, he'd re--signed.

    Not just TV2 - TV3 started the second season of How I Met Your Mother straight after the first, but then pulled it for repeats of Bro' Town.

    I doubt PAS is very representative of New Zealand's TV-viewing habits.

    We all love The Wire, hell, we've all heard of The Wire.

    And hands up who likes reality TV...

    Okay, I know this should be in next week's discussion, but Let's Get Inventin'

    boooo

    I've been watching Lost Jr. throughout and would appreciate seeing them get off the island...

    On that note, what is it with TV starting the second season of shows straight after the first, and then stopping airing them part way through? Lost Jr., HIMYM, something else I'm forgetting, etc. It's getting old.

  • Hard News: The Near Future,

    Terence - I believe so.

    My point was to suggest that Moore was asserting Peters was attacking Key and his investment-banker-ness, and not asserting Peters was attacking Key and his Jewish-ness.

    "Code word"? Is he accusing Peters of anti-Semitism?

    I assumed it was code-word John Key (investment banker, not Jew).

  • Cracker: Get it Off,

    And while we’re at it, what sort of moral should we take from 'Grease'? If you want to get your man, you should dress like a prostitute?

    Isn't this why everyone loves High School Musical? Insanely positive popular culture - "we're all in this together", "everyone is special in their own way" etc.

  • OnPoint: The Road to Slobdition,

    Annoying that the second video is slightly ruined by the still on the "I haven't started loading it" screen though...

  • Hard News: Pills, not so many thrills,

    It's petty in an entirely different way to the David Parker thing - who was alleged (and completely vindicated) to have misled the Companies Office over the appointment of an auditor - which is an important safeguard for minority shareholders.

    I doubt very much that there is even the hint of Key having done anything wrong - residency rules under the Companies Act differ substantially from those under the Electoral Act.

    I think this is important, people should not mislead the registrar of electors and they should not mislead the Companies Office - and if Key has actually broken the law I want to know, and I'm open to charges.

    The reason this is petty, is because Labour is almost certainly wrong, and are just trying to get a bit of stink around Key. And in relation to the Electoral Act they are both too late to bring any charges, and wrong that it would see him lose his seat.
