  • Hard News: A Public Address public appeal,

    NSFWCorp (The Future of Journalism with Jokes) have an interesting and sophisticated payment model...cool, funky and apparently working - they've now doing hard copy as well as online.

    If you google them...be careful tho...nsfw.com is not the same as nsfwcorp.com

  • Hard News: A handful of battling billionaires, in reply to Kumara Republic,

    America has the Koch Brothers. Australia has Gina Rinehart.

    Was just going to say that...with the addition that New Zealand also has Ms Rinehart

  • Hard News: Who else forgot to get married?,

    .I used to love watching people's reaction when I described my partner as a builder...no matter how liberal they thought they were, there would always be a slight pause as they assessed my sexuality.

    Our biggest problem is that we named our children with double barrelled names, but each one was in a different order...we can never remember who has what name...not good when you're trying to negotiate the health system...doh!

  • Hard News: Kitchen Hacks,

    I hope this isn’t too late…but here’s my Alison Holst hack…

    In a vain attempt to ward off the impending armagedon, we’ve turned what was once an eighth-of-an-acre of lawn into what is fast becoming a Palmy fruitopia.
    Here’s the list: Blueberries, red, black and white currants, raspberries, blackberries, rhubarb, the outrageously un-PC black boy peach and an un-named peach with white flesh…we’ll call it our White Boy Peach shall we? There are fiejoas, mandarins, lemons and a new lime tree (yes you can grow good citrus in Manawatu)…and then there’s the crab apple tree…for my crab apple pie recipe read here

    Gareth - that is amazing news about Slingshot...SKY TV shares will probably drop another 100million when the gamlers at the stock exchange realise the cat's really out of the bag. Other providers will follow shortly...wicked

    You may find the drop-off in teen soccer players is caused by lack of media coverage of the game...which is about to change.

    SKY has ruined rugby IMHO...there is just too much.

    One of the biggest problems for team sports in general has been our employment laws...weekends and evening practice times don't exist for many...and working/dole-class families...arguably more rugby and league than soccer people...have been very vulnerable
