The strangest thing about Toy Love is how soon it was all over. They played their first gig at Zwines in January 1979 and their last at Mainstreet in September 1980.
At the time it seemed to me that it went forever. I was in Christchurch and somehow I saw Toy Love somewhere early on and after that made a point of getting to every gig I knew about. Not in a groupie kind of way; actually speaking to dudes like the band and Ian was far too scary. The Gladstone and the students association seemed to have most of the gigs but given my, er, state of mind I couldn’t reliably say when and where.
I wore pink fluoro socks, plastic sandals and a black and white miniskirt and I liked to dance. Toy Love were wild, exciting and the gigs had the best energy of most anything I have been to ever. At the time we thought it was second-best to being in CBGBs or London, but it was probably the Kiwi version of early Ramones gigs: intense, amazing and great fun. Thanks guys.

Manners! Mr Boyle seems to have forgotten to say thank you to Keith and Ira. he at least owes them a good dinner on the Winz entertainment account: if they hadn’t pursued the story the potential for his own job being threatened would have been huge.As it is, I can see a great big bulge under that carpet - as John Holley says in the post below..

Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Sacha,
Nicky Hager agrees with you on this in the show, and talks about building a relationship with a source to establish their integrity as a person.
That's old-school journalism: knowing who's in your patch, on professional and personal levels, their connections and history. Rarely happens now with the electronic newsroom and the clock-in mentality of most news organisations and the time pressures that mean most reporters are judged on the number of words they crank out, not the quality of the words.

That poppy is a wonderful picture Nora. It sings. If you don't mind it will be my desktop background.

If it is a tree, it is def not a rarity hydrangea! Probably would help to see the leaves clearly and a pic of the tree. I'll go with dervish.
