  • Hard News: The true meaning of Tutaekuri,

    Allow me to be the obligatory twit who adds nothing except to say Richard Dawkins' wife is Lalla Ward, who was Romana #2 on "Doctor Who" and used to be married to Tom Baker. They were introduced at a party by Douglas Adams.

    There. That'll do.

  • Radiation: All this, and Lucy too,

    "Would be sort of like saying New Zealand is practically Australia"

    Yes, I was trying to be /slightly/ sarky in my reply while still maintaining a facade of effortless cool and sophistication. Oh well. Maybe I should have just used an animated emoticon. :-)

    "I always thought Barrowman was English"

    He was born in Scotland so, close enough, eh?

    Is anybody else following "Heroes"?

  • Hard News: Citizen Key II: The High…,

    "The only National MP present was Don Brash, escorted by Bryan Sinclair."

  • Stink Bro,

    The very first episode of Bro'town turned me off forever: not only were the jokes at least 9 months old (America's Cup and "cheeky darkie" references) the opening credits were in (gulp) Comic Sans.

    If you have some time free, the 195 comments on this blog post of Stephen Judd's are worth a laugh.

  • OnPoint: Bar brawls aren't my thing,

    There's no point trying to rebut her columns since there's no way a reasoned response would have half the exposure of her "typing" (whatever it is, it ain't writing).

    I wonder whether Roger Kerr still follows her work?
