    Vettori dropped.

    If India had taken a decent number of catches this innings, we could have all been out for under 400.

    I totally support this

    lol.

    ISS even did a Madonna concert recently.

    Middle-aged woman acting very lewd and walking around only in her bra. Oh, wait, it's Madonna.

    (Okay, so I made that one up.)

  • Field Theory: Errata and other things,

    Your (not clearly spelt out) theory about contracted players seems rather weak given the performance of some of our other batsmen at times.

  • Can We Dump Raw Shit Into Your River for…,

    All those times when I've said "Christchurch is just a swamp, basically", apparently I was talking it up.

    How particularly medieval of the Christchurch City Council.

  • Hard News: TiVo and some tunes,

    So I was planning to get sky early next year for the Olympics. TV 6 & 7 going on sky just added to that. I hadn't decided about getting Mysky.

    However this TIVO sounds good. What will I be missing out on if I go the mysky route? Just the on demand programmes?

    (You know, before someone tries to set Ben on fire.)

    According to Keith, burning things at Earth Hour is a bad idea anyway.

  • Hard News: After the Charter,

    I shall entertain myself, watching Captain Feathersword and Dorothy the Dinosaur. I have long held a suspicion they are more than friends, and will be looking for any signs of this.

    I'm not sure about Dorothy, but the person playing Captain Feathersword has changed a couple of times. Originally it was the blue Wiggle, Antony, then it was an actor, and I think it's changed again. Maybe Dorothy's into feathers?

    Spot the parent that knows more about the Wiggles than his own actual favourite bands.

  • Hard News: Onwards and upwards,

    Yes, and I wouldn't get too high and mighty about the moral superiority of state-owned broadcasters.

    I care not whether they're morally superior. Just that the state broadcaster should follow the standards set out in the BSA. Which they didn't appear to do this morning.

    The person going on should have those expectations that they'll be treated professionally. That wouldn't be the case if Obama went on Limbaugh's radio show, because their systems are different.

  • Hard News: Onwards and upwards,

    As far as I'm aware, we operate under exactly the same broadcasting standards as apply to Radio New Zealand. Or is there some section of the Broadcasting Act that established a different, lower bar for commercial radio I should start exploiting now?

    That's NZ, the USA has a different system and rules (or lack of). Without listening to much of their stuff, I think the difference between their public broadcasters, and Rush Limbaugh, is that Rush Limbaugh is a scum bag who goes as low as he can, the public broadcaster chooses not to.
