  • Hard News: Reasons to be cheerful,

    Quite off topic, but maybe people would like something nice to listen to?

    Reasons to be cheerful: I found the button on the RadioNZ site that changed the file format to MP3 just when I was about to cry about not getting to hear Neil Finn & Friends. Hurray!

    and @Jo Kendra has become an Eagles supporter of late

    Not in my alternative reality where Holly and Hef are still together...

  • Field Theory: Every guy does it,

    but my favorite is the San Diego Chargers'.

    "San Dee Ey Go SOUP...er Chargers!"

    I feel like I know so much about sport by being able to say that Kendra would think that you qualify for Playmate of the Year just because you like the Chargers...

  • Hard News: Off the back of the deck,

    while our family stages a lightning raid on Wellington.

    Hey baby, if you're looking for a good time while you're down here, give the Wellingtonista a call...

  • Hard News: The Interesting Party,

    My "blogosphere" resolution for 09: no more reading the comments on Kiwiblog ...

    I gave up reading right-wing blogs two Matarikis ago - it helps keep the blood pressure down, I tell you.

  • Up Front: Christmas Stockings,

    Tangentially related, I have to ask why my bank lets money leave my account overmy overdraft

    Yeah, my bank will bounce my automatic rent payment, but let me rack up extra over-overdrafts on coffee when it should just say no. Sigh. Don't we have a nanny state to stop us from this kind of thing?

  • Hard News: The Interesting Party,

    I'd like to second your love for Grant Robertson, not just because he came along to present at the TAWAs but also took my enthusiastic drunken hugging in the good spirit it was intended.

    And yes, I'm still one-track-minded and only thinking of the Wellingtonista right now. But I would like to thank you Russell for all the support over the year, even if you tried to steal one of our writers, and I look forward to swimming at more Great Blends next year!

    From your link:

    Kitteh sez STFU

    Take the internet away from this person.

  • Hard News: Public Address Word of the…,

    Jonathan, what are your feelings about "awesome"? Apparently visitors to NZ can't get over how often we say it and how multi-purpose it is. It's a word I've come to hate, personally.

    Appaaaaaaaaaaaaaarently, the word 'awesome' was used quite a few times in presenting the Wellingtonista awards the other night, so if anyone has a problem with its usage, I might have to blacklist them.

  • Hard News: The Flashing Question Mark,

    Apologies Joanna. I did wonder but I'm a bit jumpy as I'm in the middle of learning how to parent a 14-year-old. You start to see all sorts of scenarios that can frighten you.

    No worries. And for the record, I've been online since I was 13 and the sexual harrassment on my school's Bulletin Board System and then on IRC never did me any harm...
