  • Hard News: Watching the Watchmen,

    How to make Afghanistan better? I'd say legalise the drugs trade so the whole population can benefit from the crop exports, not just the Taliban.

  • Hard News: Watching the Watchmen,

    Surely the Taliban feel they are doing their bit to make the world a better place too, at least according to their lifestyle principles, which are uncannily not far removed from a retrosexual's wet dream: running around in pyjamas all day, armed to the teeth with whatever gun you want, plenty of dope in the back yard, never having to shave and PMT under (burqa) wraps.
    Sounds awfully like some tea baggers' ideas for life too.

  • Up Front: After the Big Gay Revolution,

    The "straight coach" of a boys rugby team was flawed sarcasm. The sacked guy was a female netball team coach who was gay. The uncomfortable analogy would have a straight man coaching a girls netball team. I think I'd prefer the gay coach in that instance.

  • Hard News: Party central is hurting my head,

    Why not have simple, cheap and elegant solution like the Germans do in Berlin? A 'Fan Mile' down Tiergarten Park with huge screens hanging above. They would fit well down Queen Street.

  • Hard News: PEDA: Who, what, where, why,

    Can somebody remind me what befell Holmes after the cheekie darkie on air rant?

    In the awkward wording of the BSA findings: no uphold

  • Speaker: Knuckleball,

    Or they could automate the uniform and boots with impact sensors and a visible infringement alarm - kind of like laser strike

    That's why nude soccer should be played, like the nude rugby. Much more enjoyable and watchable. No more shirt pulling and much fun in the shower afterwards scrubbing the painted numbers of each others' backs. Happy days! (Might even blow your vuvuzela if you won)

  • Hard News: Clover It,

    It’s hard for them to believe in the disaster scenarios when they are wearing jeans made from transgenic cotton plants (BTW most people are).

    Is that why new jeans these days are really not very sturdy and much more ill-fitting than they used to, or is it just that my butt looks big in them now?

  • Hard News: Costly indeed,

    Porn and Men. ...what can I say?Where do I start?

    I read somewhere that the average length of time a man watches a hotel room porn movie is 8 minutes. Which makes the charge quite expensive. But hey, even Time Magazine found that watching porn can be an act, not of cupidity, but of fidelity.

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    AC Nielsen provides ratings for every 15 minute slot. due to the small number of people-meters around, for small niche channels the margin of error is enormous as to render a lot of figures completely useless to make decisions on scheduling or programme commissioning. Ratings are only good for mass channels who need to "prove" that they rate higher than their competing mass channel. Whether they tell the truth is unknowable and statistically questionable. Perhaps it's a cahoot between broadcasters, advertising agencies and ratings agencies to jack up the figures so they can charge everybody (especially the advertising companies) more.

  • Cracker: Hands in the Middle....,

    The sauvignon blanc is poked: do not buy.

    That grassy piss is always poked. The only thing it's good for is export.
