(My mum opened a RaboPlus account to put her super in, and I thought it was funny that an "old lady" was using a bank that is working very very hard to market itself to men.)

I don't get any of the RaboPlus advertising, which probably makes me a fag.…

okay here it is: there are TWO taggers ... one called Fenom and one called Venom, the latter up there on Ponsonby & K Rd. In order to keep my wild conspiracy alive (although it now seems ludicrous) maybe Sony gave the money and spray cans to a tagger that couldn't…

I heartily reccomend "Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe" to anyone who <3's telly. It's a cool behind-the-scenes look at the awful/awesome world of television.

He's made three short series for BBC Four and a couple of specials. Various episode and clips are available on YouTube.
