  • Capture: Old Delhi,

    I just spent a couple of weeks in Hanoi, I started collecting photos of the incongruous - the hammer&sickle in front of the brand new stock exchange, the same with a pair of doves as a xmas street decoration etc etc after a while I realised what I was collecting were really artifacts of my culture, Vietnam had moved on ....

  • Hard News: The Sky is the limit,

    Yeah my kids will be paying for Dunedin's stupid stadium, probably my grand kids too, if some councillors have their way.

    Even if you ignore the horrendous mortgage its costing the local ratepayers $4M a year in what are basically subsidies to its only user, professional rugby, who blatantly ignore this situation that they created in the first place.

    No city makes money on stadiums, their proper remit is playing fields, not propping up the good old boys who run professional sport who couldn't finance their way out of a wet paper bag.

    Surely Key understands that by not allowing the (mythical) terrorists to travel overseas they'll have to do their (mythical) terror here?

  • Up Front: Adric and the Art of Asking,

    I think I speak for everone when I say that we all look forward to you developing some appropriately weird super powers after your next bout with radiation, perhaps the ability to reach through the internet and slap people with fish or something similar

    I think that "Dirty Politics" is it - so obviously it that Russlel should be offering prizes for 2nd and 3rd rather than first

    Kudos to TV1 for sending a gay reporter to interview the bigot ... and reporting exactly what he said
