Hard News: The Engagement, in reply to giovanni tiso,
lol, I see your point.
I think I may have heard some of The Panel - it's on RNZ in the afternoon, right? I always thought it was just a friendly chat show with an over-the-teacups feel, rather than any serious discussion about things political or cultural. Though I may be thinking of the wrong show... apologies if I am, the only working radio I have is in the car.
Anyway, poor ol' Jim. I'll defend his kindly cuddliness against the h8ers. :p

You and my daughter! She'll watch hours of H&A on YouTube, which makes me worry that there's some subliminally hidden zombie making thing going on. H&A is teh evol.
As for Wills and Kate, the psychics are enjoying themselves. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/8340074/fortune-tellers-warn-will-and-kate/

lol, I see you really don't like him. And fair enough, I guess - he shouldn't be put in punditry placement, as he's not a political animal. I've never heard him in such discussions, and he doesn't strike me as anyone who would be a useful analyst of current affairs, or an effective foil in robust debate. But I don't hate him for that.
I've only heard him on the car radio in the afternoons, where I quite enjoy his gentle manner as he chats with all variety of local people; and his kindly, sometimes funny, commentary on Tux Wonder Dogs. He's an old softie, and there's a place in the world for old softies, I reckon. ..it's just that that place should be on Tux Wonder Dogs and inoffensive afternoon radio - not debate panels.
Anyway, now that I've made you sick with all the sugar, please continue! :-D
Within two hours of the announcement of the royal engagement, so many royal experts had gathered outside Buckingham Palace that a quick-response team of 250 specially trained police was called in to keep them under control.
‘Without a word of warning, there was so much gibberish and poppycock being tossed about that someone might easily have been killed,’ said a police spokesman.
One of the ring- leaders was screaming: ‘A close friend of Kate’s who asked not to be named told me last night that her favourite colour is ...’ before being bundled into a police van.
Tabloid heaven. 8-]

’Cos I love him on Tux Wonder Dogs.

I see what you did there, Sacha!
Very clever, bringing us back on topic like that...

Edit: Never mind! I do get what you mean - didn't read properly - missed a word or two. Ooopsies!

I see your points, and you raise some questions I'll have to think over. I'm open to having my mind changed.
As for the MAD doctrine, it doesn't matter a stitch in me knickers whether I personally believe in it or not (I don't), but it does matter if those with much greater geopolitical clout than you or I have do. There be no shortage of mad buggers at the top, in either China or the US!
But I'll not hide under my bed just yet. I'll ponder your points first, with a nice cup of tea. :)

I hope he's right.
