  • Hard News: Current affairs TV in "making…,

    I couldn't believe it when I saw Mike King doing this. I have since raised my thoughts of him.

    He also had a good line when accused of "knowing about it". He said: "If the Minister of Agriculture didn't know about it, why would I?"

    Zing!

  • Field Theory: Beatniks,

    Once, someone told me they were 'slightly disappointed' that I liked sport (I assume because they thought I rocked in other ways). To which I thought 'bite me'. But didn't say it, because I was being tactful.

    It's weird, right? Because I enjoy watching sport I'm somehow less, I dunno, intelligent or suave or some shit like that.

    Playoff beard

    I currently have a play-off beard, I just don't have a team in the play-offs.

  • Field Theory: Beatniks,

    I guess the good think about F..Kings is that it provides a place for the assholes and munters to drink where no normal human being would ever go.

    The upstairs bar is pretty good and they really do have LOADS of TVs. In fact I was waiting at the bar for a beer when there was a cheer and I had to check five different sports to figure out what was going on.

    So...

    Quick: anyone know of any pubs in Wellie that'll be showing coverage of the Tour de France? Only another month and a half to go!

    I would try either 4Kings or Sports Cafe or (and seriously this might work) try Scopa or a French Cafe (if you can find one with a TV)

    I dunno, a random freak event (or SANZAR ruling) and BOOM! no NZ teams in the final!

  • Up Front: I Have Been and Always Shall…,

    Those velour shirts were teh suckage, but the ripping did make for great continuity errors.

    I loved the Star Trek Futurama episode. When they all fight at the end, before anything happens the first thing Kirk does is rip his shirt

  • Up Front: I Have Been and Always Shall…,

    I saw Trek last night and part way through I leaned over to Amy and whispered, "you know, I'm really enjoying this"

    I can't remember the last Trek film I actually enjoyed. Maybe The Voyage Home, but I was a kid then (though I still use Scotty's "hello computer" line).

  • OnPoint: Let it die. Please.,

    Keith your post says:

    He says that those on $30k get $620/week

    But your charts' y-axis says "tax cut per year ($)"

    I'm confused

    UPDATE: stupid slow fingers!

  • Field Theory: Temepara George Has Aqua Toenails,

    Which reminds me, there was a documentary made in the 70s where the cameras followed George Best for a whole Manchester United game. ... Fascinating stuff.

    Spike Lee is currently making a similar thing but for Kobe Bryant: Kobe Doin' Work

  • Field Theory: Temepara George Has Aqua Toenails,

    So, how does it stack up on those claims people make about it?
    - involves so much standing still for proper ladies that players get cold or aren't proper athletes or something
    - stops all the time, given you can't run with the ball and penalties are 'per minute', so is dull to watch
    - is a non-contact sport

    All ballsack (i.e. not true)
