  • Island Life: Re Joyce!,

    8 out 12.

    I've got an idea. No, no, this is a good one: ask the EBs to fund and design a new stadium!

    I'm sure they could come up with something more weep-worthy than this.

    Oh, we need start lashing back at Eden Park now.

  • Southerly: They don't make 'em like they…,

    Sie glotzt tee fau as Nina Hagen sang. I didn't really, apart from music programmes, sci-fi rubbish like Moonbase Alpha and the news.

    Hmm, Max Headroom wasn't bad. Some of the continental stuff featuring men in very tight suits and women in immutable hairdos sufficed, but please don't ask me what any of that was all about.

    Back to your regular children's programming, here's that Rainbow clip again.

  • Speaker: The Hollow Men: Initial Impressions,

    Yeah, spelling it Hagar throughout the entry does mar it somewhat...

  • Hard News: Music in Parks,

    No no no, not that kind of cheering.

    What "motorwayed environment"? We have one small bit of motorway going north, plus another one going south. That's that, but there's no avoiding either.

    Keith Locke should've campaigned on a carbon tax platform. Imagine 60,000 flatulent rugby fans in one place blasting holes in the ozone layer! Has to to be worse than the greenies farting around in their pre-emission control petrol and diesel cars, eh?

  • Hard News: Of course it's about the book,

    So, it's been a year with the two dominant political parties coming out smelling of poo. It's probably not the last of it either, although I expect the summer recess will dampen down the faeces flinging somewhat.

    How would you vote? Weigh up the negatives, see which party has the fewest and look for some positives?

    "They lied the least, therefore they'll get my vote."

    I don't know that I could do it in that manner.

    Since the issues came out, it's fair to say the democratic process is alive in NZ. The sheer volume of scandals in just one year really does point to some serious rot in the system however.

  • Island Life: Citizen Key,

    Apropos the state house thing: are you saying that Key was never weaned off the Nanny State teat, but continues to both suck and bite it in his middle age (being taxpayer funded)?

  • OnPoint: Bar brawls aren't my thing,

    Apart from me-tooing Russell in that the editor is the first point of contact - that's the person who decides what goes into a publication after all - I'd like to point out that Ken Steinke is no longer at APN.

  • Island Life: Publishers in crisis!,

    Now I don't believe in hell in the after life, religious sense, but more as in here and now. It would seem Mr Slack has just bought an entry ticket to such a place with his blog posting, and no, I don't think his torment will take place in the Auckland Stadium with ginified Devonportonians weeping at the sight.

  • Island Life: All stadium, all the time,

    Gin-sodden and lachrymose Devonportonians cry out: "won't someone think of the children?" and put an end to Auckland's rugga stadium plans.

    Oddly enough, this dolorousness doesn't occur when it's time to make money out of sub-dividing sections that create infill ugliness right there in their own backyards. Instead of looking across the harbour from Mt Vic or North Head, maybe Duder and Co should fix their collective gaze a little closer to home and shed a few tears over what they see there.
