Hard News: Big Friday Music: Counting…, in reply to Jeremy Andrew,
Sounds like Russell enjoyed his day tomorrow. According to Sweetman anyways.
Actually reading this link not recommended…
Jesus. What on earth was the point of that?

Hard News: Crashing the party before it starts, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Hardly abrupt, Oil has been acting pretty much as Key’s proxy on that issue for at least a year.
He certainly has. The amusing part is when you look at his previous, highly supportive writing about Dotcom and his predicament. See the pics. Imagine the communications from Judith Collins’ office.

I did not feel that Cameron’s reporting about me in any way suggested any impropriety. His reporting seems entirely fair.
Fair enough. I thought the "refused to talk" and "constant refrain" parts were somewhat unfair to you.

Yay!
Radio New Zealand has followed up on Craig's interview and established that his claims about Australian smacking law were bullshit.
Remember where you read it first, folks :-)

A bit too low res to show the menu, or is that an NDA’d item?
No, I just didn't stand close enough ...

I think there’s a clause in the Liquor Act that requires the bar contract for large events to be given to an industrial cleaning company that will maintain huge queues and shite beer. For our own good, obviously.
Something like that. it's great that they're not captive to venue caterers at the Springs (unlike, say, Parliament, where rooms are free for the public to book but feeding or water an audience = $$$$ to fucking Spotless), but very large-scale beer pourage is quite a big job.
There may also be a "pourage sponsor" who pays some money for the right to sell beer on the day. Or not, I don't know. Anyway, here's a picture of one of the mobile bars already on site.

Hopefully this will carry over into in an improved beer selection? In the past it’s been brown water at MOET prices.
Don't get your hopes up.

Your photos remind me of the video for Better be home soon.
What on earth was that pre-roll ad about?

The Chow Town menu for the day is actually pretty awesome.

This is good: the Herald’s new(ish) data journalist Harkanwal Singh has mapped recorded NZ cycling crashes 2008-2012.
