  • Random Play: Sideslap: 5 Years And Mounting,

    Funnily enough good old granny Herald got a mention on Letterman the other night, in a segment called 'small town news'.

  • Hard News: On receipt of a not-so-nastygram,

    As far as the link thing is concerned, you could say thats the way the cookie crumbles, but that would be a nasty pun.

    So just tell them to go jump...

  • Hard News: Biting back at Bill,

    Mmmm the walk on shot, now there is one part of the news presentation that serves absoluteloy no purpose whatsoever. The walk-on shot is probably my most coveted hatred of television media in general, that and bad continuity.

    It makes you a smoker.

    That too I guess, unfortunate habit that it is.

  • Hard News: Biting back at Bill,

    It has been this way for ages though, glaring inaccuracies covered by shmaltz and a down beat backing track. that isn't news. Neither is the supposedly newsworthy mention of a story that just happens to be on sixty minutes, right after campbell live folks. I've taken to watching prime news because they don't seem to have time in their 30 minute program for the BS puffery that passes for a newscast on 1 or 3. Unfortunately this weekend just passed they screwed up as well with the paul holmes 90 second smarmfest towards the bum end (now thats appropriate) of their bulletin. There are next to NO celebrities in NZ! not many if any. At the very least none truly worthy of the public adulation that seems to come with celeb status. The fact that you sat at an outdoor table at SPQR doesn't make you a celeb. It makes you a poseur.

  • Hard News: The Civility Code,

    I like Craigs idea, if you really believe in what you're saying and IMO if you don't you should just shut up, you won't have a problem with providing some means of contact for rebuttal (or if he really doesn't like you he could send the boys round). people are way to ready to say the most hateful misguided things under the guise of a pseudonym. Much respect to those P.A's who use their real name.

  • Island Life: A Pylon In My Back Yard,

    Back in the day my parents used to dutifully trot me off to church with them of a sunday eve and I'd sit for the first few years listen to the guy in the suit and kind of try to take it in 'cos the stories were quite good. After a while it came to pass that the guy in the suit started to say things I didn't agree with and that led to my acquaintance with the flanshaw rd school pylon. There were great swings and slides right under the wires and when it had been dry all day it was sweet because they didn't make the buzzing humming burn your head apart with supernatural powers noise they do when wet. So I wouldn't play there as the sound just freaked me out. I wanted to climb it though, it was big, huge even. I also had this paranoia about them falling on me when the buzz of the lines was going hard. Luckily the good folk at either the school or the power company had raised a stalag13 (No one has ever successfully escaped from Stalag13!) worthy fence around the pylon and the first handful of barbed wire convinced me mine would be a dream incomplete.

  • Island Life: A Rat At My Table,

    The HoS headhunted about a third of their staff from fairfax, they obviously didn't get the right third.

  • Speaker: Part 15: The money shot,

    You are naive about business, which is about meeting targets, and about principles. If you compromise on those, you're sunk.

    yep, and there's some huge businesses in Mosgiel.

    At the end of the day if you don't sell tickets you don't make money regardless of their price. Costing the locals out of the equation is just plain stupid, quote whatever management guru you like bingle, but there's a thing called customers, if you aint got any because your product is overpriced you don't have a business either.
