Perfect description of Simon Morris' style! I can always gauge from his reviews whether a film is worth scoping or not.

Oh yeah and some of the weekend music shows are terrific. They had such an inspiring review of MIA last August that it actually made me pull over at Real Groovy and buy her album.

I love Morning Report, sometimes catch the start of Nine to Noon and my enjoyment depends on my interest in the topic at hand.
Checkpoint with Mary Wilson is increasingly irritating. Her interrogative tone of voice reminds me too much of my mother telling off my father. I just don't need it on my commute home.
Radio NZ National has my news bulletin of choice, without a doubt.
And I am YOUNG :o)

So worth giving them a plug.
sure, but if quality isn't the comparable issue then homegrown would have better served your purpose: subsidised, commercially sponsored to the hilt, and with ticket prices around six times as much as weber.

The Arts Festival had two "circus" type shows:
Cirque Ici $70 - $75 audience size around 200
La Vie $52 - $58 audience size around 280
Both were fantastic. -
I was refering to the SST, not the actual victims.
I didn't read it like that... I see now.

The Elim school community has reacted commendably in my opinion... not jumping to blame, showing compassion, and calling on their faith in a time of grief. Yes outward displays of religion personally creep me out, but I am not going to judge the community, simply for being in the spotlight. I am with Kyle and Gareth on this.

It's way harsh to call them dropkicks just because they are victims of crime who have turned up to a forum to hopefully hear some words of wisdom about how violent crime is being addressed by political parties.
So they should have just stayed home and looked at the Statistics NZ web site, to rationalise their situation, get some perspective, get a grip and reassure themselves? Great.
Something that revolted me about the Tongariro river tragedy media coverage was the counter "kids in the wilderness" story on the NEWS the other night, about a Californian seven-year-old who, after seeing it on TV, decided on a whim to climb Mt Kilamanjaro. His parents indulged and funded his far-fetched aspiration, recruiting a film crew to accompany them, carrying his pack all the way, comforting him when the wind got cold, and then touting it as a story of inspiration. They filmed the wee bugger chirping precociously "you can do anything if you put your mind to it!", and our own newsreader simply gushed over the story. WHY? WHY?

objectifies criminals as some sort of sub-species, a Hogarthian unter-menschen beyond redemption and for whom no punishment is enough.
Yes and this explains the two-faced attitude reserved for the tagger-stabber, a violent offender who committed murder, but who (God forbid!) is someone that Garth can actually relate to.

got any feijoa jam recipes?
Anathoth might be able to help.
