    What was interesting is how people associate their moments in life with music. And thoughts of your own when you hear. eg

    Dire Straits - First heard in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. The view immediately springs to the fore at the first chords.
    Bye Bye American Pie - The loss of a love.....sigh....
    Any C&W - Cycling across USA/Canada. It was all you got!!

    And.......thankfully forgotten....any of the RWC interlude "songs".

    This has got me seriously worried. I have read all the posts and am now having implosive thoughts about which music I like let alone hate!!

    But into the pot comes.......

    No. There was an issue in this case because neither knew. As long as one party to a conversation knows, it’s fine.

    Hmmm…so when he put the recorder on the table, he was “present” with the two Johns. They knew all the recorders was there. But once the crowd was ushered out but remained in sight of the two Johns - through the glass, that now constituted one party rather than two.

    What happens if you are recording an interview and you go to the loo and (in)advertently leave the recorder going. Are all conversations while you are out of the room now deemed private?

    What happens now to Fair Go and the "Secret filming"? Are conversations between a reporter and the 'client' now deemed private if one person does not know it is being taped?

    Edit: Also secret customers carrying recording devices to bait retailers (etc) who may be doing naughty things.

  • Hard News: Back to mediocrity,

    Those of us who remember rugby at Athletic Park recall the (Note - half empty) beer can thrown from the top deck of the Millard Stand that unfortunately landed on the conk of a poor unsuspecting spectator on the lower level. He suffered quite extensive brain damage. The can was thrown by a medical professional if I recall correctly.

    So yes, I don't think I was the only one who was concerned about cans at the RWC. But then.....someone was offering (and someone was accepting) big bikkies to let them go obviously.

    Time to change tack:

    From todays Herald

    Lancet and NZ. Leading journal questions NZ health policy

    Page includes the paper: "Increasing incidence of serious infectious diseases and inequalities in New Zealand: a national epidemiological study"

    and the Editorial: "Social determinants of health and outcomes in New Zealand"

    Molotov Cocktail. Must be OK. Mainstreamed in Wiki now.

    Yummm...Napalm. American. Must be good.

    And metal melting. The use of it for welding rails allegedly invented here in in NZ!!

    Does gathering this information into one post make me an enemy of the state?

    We come in peace, shoot to kill.
