Hard News: When the Weather is the News, in reply to Hilary Stace,
I'll look out for you, Hilary, though we'll probably miss this term's one because of .. reasons. Be nice to meet you.

Some of the schools I’m referring to that have been closed were affected by… some rain
I was just shooing mine out the door this morning, lunchbox packed, on his scooter, when a text came in saying school was closed. In this case, because of staff based in various higher and hillier suburbs than ours.

That teacher wouldn't be Bernard by any chance?)
Why yes! It is indeed the lovely Bernard, in upper-upper-Karori.
Interesting about the pellet fire. We have a standard woodburner and I will have to say that it is great, particularly right now. Heat pumps are great and convenient and all that, but you don't exactly cosy up to one. -

Hard News: Media7: A new censor -- and a…, in reply to Russell Brown,
If I also may be honest, I would have liked to have heard more from Peter G and less from Robert W. I agree with Lilith that it was probably the least interesting segment of the show (in what was a really enjoyable show overall). I enjoyed hearing from the Maori scientists; Mike Joy is a treasure; and I thought Peter Griffin's roundup of the best and worst science coverage in the media was really excellent with spot on choices.

Just texted Radio NZ as follows: Please get Muriel Newman off the radio before I hurl it out the window.
(relevance to this thread: Newman was blaming unruly youth problems on the anti-smacking legislation).
Serves me right for listening to The Panel. Infuriating much.
