  • Hard News: Public Address: Technical Profile,

    I blame Emma Hart.
    Must also give Craig his dues

    did someone say dues
    or didjoo say jews...
    whoops, wrong thread ;- )
    - but coincidentally I see Kinky Friedman
    is through with politics and going back
    to writing books and music...

    C'mon man jesus isn't all bad.

    but he does have to watch his marketing & branding department...

  • Hard News: Public Address: Technical Profile,

    I don't like all that bold text

    whereas I...
    ...don't mind it. Used judiciously and constructively (as Russell has), it aids my simian navigation systems, scanning through the dense verbiage for branches of substance, rather than flailing through a blur of twigs and laterals looking for structure...

    ...though I wouldn't shun a comprehensile tail (for grasping tale content faster and firmer...)

    eyes left, as you were...

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

    Disparaging any group of people based on stereotypes is not good.

    nice to know the hardwired Kiwi's knee-jerk Aussie-bashing will soon be a thing of the past!
    I see a softening on the Kick It threads already, world peace through football*...

    *even if it is just the Irish dancing version of Rugby

  • Up Front: Bonging Science Doughnut Time,

    a scanner darkly, darling...
    MRI, MRI on the wall
    who's the ferrous of them all?

    That MRI machine looks like the torpedo room
    in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
    :- )

    Roast beef...
    Perhaps an excerpt from The Aristocrats would show these cosseted media types what a real "celebrity roast" is like - Fane was there to push the envelope and barbecue sacred cows - a Lenny Brucellosis - so to speak...

    doing a runner...

    Dick Quax

    Did Captain Sanctimony / Quax pay back the cost of that council funded conference fee he couldn't be bothered attending?

  • Hard News: Gushing for Auckland,

    Gosh, Gush, Gauche...
    Banks said some pay-related things on Nat Radio last week (either Checkpoint or Afternoons Panel section) about how he (if elected) would be giving vast portions of his new salary of $240,000 to charity or similar (the Society Concerned for Underpaid Media-advisers maybe?) and how he was only doing it for the privilege and honour of serving the city - he must've said it about 5 times...
    It was awfully irritating and fatuous sounding...

  • Hard News: Friday Beep Test,

    at the risk of starting another of "those" minefield-threads... NZ On Air currently has an on-line questionnaire for all those folk who want their voice heard by the powers that be...
    go forth and be constructive :- )

  • Hard News: Clover It,

    BTW insects are highly nutritious.

    I hadn't truly realised this until I saw the protein packed midge patties made from the huge swarms that emerge monthly on Lake Victoria in Africa
    - I think, (as seen on the Super Swarms doco
    this past week).
    a veritable biomassacre... :- )
