Hard News: Reading the Numbers, in reply to Kumara Republic,
They’re seen as too ‘unprofitable’ and too ‘cerebral’ for free-to-air, despite awards and financial success overseas.
Didn't Wild South used to be a top rating show in the 80s?
Then again, it used to be claimed that apartheid era South African TV viewers were probably the most natural history savvy on earth, because of the politically uncontroversial nature of all that wildlife programming they were fed. -

Looks like a Solex motorised bike to me. I used to see them toodling around Christchurch,
The one Solex pic I happen to have, from 2009 scooter run. Not made for hills.

Keep persevering Joe - it may depend on who is moderating.
So it proves to be :-), though I could have refined my post a tad.
BTW that cheap shot about Ian sharing a surname with spawn-of-Satan Lianne (no relation) has got to be in flagrant breach of the Press's own terms & conditions.

“Sheelagh”
Funny, I tried something similar about a week ago. All I did was politely suggest that there seemed to be a campaign to portray Brownlee as a bigger earthquake victim than those who'd been red zoned. Not allowed. Hard to escape the impression that someone up there has the hots for "Sheelagh".

the 250,000 person "Sorry" march for Aboriginal solidarity, May 2000
Thanks Richard, great shot of an amazing event. I heard a woman that day cry "Look at the flag!", and suddenly there were these aboriginal women bawling their eyes out at the sight of their flag up there atop the bridge.

Nice to see Mr Dalziel and others taking the Press's Jane Bowron to task for her dismal dump on Chch's resurgent funkiness.

he usually has a lot more class
than some of them exhibit....Not all from the same hand, but the good ones are very good.
The Bronagh and John pandering to their adolescent base with the Cathedral isn't among them. -
