Hard News: When we had hope and change, in reply to Russell Brown,
Tom Scott (baby-boomer cartoonist) and Tom Scott (Gen Y rapper) make an interesting comparison.
True, nice. The clip you posted is a great slice.

the accent seemed to change around 1980
An indefinite article is possibly more representative of emerging variants than the definite. Compare Tim Shadbolt/ Helen Clark/ Tom Scott. Jen?

Up Front: Staying In, in reply to Lilith __,
it used to really piss me off sometimes the things he shared about our relationship
Totally agree with you on this. There was a high profile blogger a few years back whose MO consisted of finding 'material' to fuck. Not cool.

Hard News: Friday Music: Return of the brothers, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
That's a beauty, thanks for posting Ian. I think the pricing on concert posters vanished around the time New Zealand music month became one long corporate seminar held by retired musicians, in part due to one such seminar entitled "don't mention the price".

Up Front: Staying In, in reply to Emma Hart,
I’m really conscious here of not wanting to sound like I’m dissing people who do write under pseudonyms.
You come across as quite magnanimous. I never cease to be amazed at your candour in publicly expressing the kinds of sexually intimate details that so many are sadly still unable to share with even their nearest and dearest.
The name discussion is an interesting one in terms of the transgender community where the name is very often a contributor to the internal identity conflict. Being torn between an imposed and often gendered given name (and its associations) and the liberating (and again often gendered) chosen name, is not a position easily resolved, a name being a difficult mark to shake. The empowerment you kindle is awesomeness Emma.

Thanks Nora, I trust that didn't break any magician's code. As novice, I'm a sucker for such tidbits.
