Cracker: Lundy and Me., in reply to Damian Christie,
I’m not quite sure what you’re saying here. Are you saying the same as I’m saying above? The rest of the night’s events as outlined by the prosecution have everything taking place between two phone calls from Petone at 5.43pm and 8.28pm – that’s what requires the land-speed record trip.
Yes. It will be interesting to see if the prosecution does re-arrange their approach completely to fit a timeline involving a later departure from Wellington as per Bryan Bruce's proposed change to the way things happened. Taking out the need for a high speed trip surely must increase the credibility of the prosecution's case? If the main point of the defence's new evidence is around forensics and brain tissue origin then would the prosecution concentrate on re-confirming that one bit rather than resetting the whole approach to the timeline?
Dunno.... -
According to Bryan Bruce's 2009(?) documentary, once you re-arrange the timing due to the uncertainty of speed of food digestion, the rest of the night's events become quite feasible as outlined by the prosecution. No need for land-speed record driving
If a retrial is ordered it will be interesting to see if they go with that re-arrangement. -
Hard News: Friday Music: Dancing Fool, in reply to Russell Brown,
My sister keeps her coffee grinder in a pantry cupboard to muffle the noise when it is running. If you open and close the door rhythmically you can get quite a good electronica beat going.
Try. Record. Post results. Offer a prize for most "liked" submission. :-) -
Hard News: Spread the Noise, in reply to johnno,
And just what exactly is a "less-lethal shotgun?" Something that fires bean-bags?
Probably.
They're afraid of being sued if their weapon-of-disablement actually does kill you. Like the disclaimer "Processed on equipment that also handles eggs, nuts and dairy", so if someone has an allergic reaction the processor can say "Well, we did put a warning on the package".It's a weasel wording response to truth in advertising principles... We don't intend to kill you if we shoot you with one of these... But we can't rule out the possibility.

Minor quibble with Geoff Stevens' quote:
If I were to make a doco on claustrophobia I wouldn’t go and interview the Minister of claustrophobia. We’d stick someone up a telegraph pole and leave them there.
That wouldn't necessarily worry a Claustrophobe. Now an Acrophobe might be a bit wobbly...

Are you saying MADness, takes its toll?
Not for very much longer…

I think Munted is certainly the NZ "mot de l'année" 2011.
As an aside, I have a problem with "Nek Minnit". I've listened to Levi's rendition in his video multiple times and I'm 100% sure it should have been "Nex Minnit" or even "Neks Minnit".
I know I'm 1 against a billion on this, but "Nek Minnit" really grates, because I am sure I hear a sibilant in there. Perhaps I should start a Facebook page "Nek Minnit Should be Nex Minnit"

A colleague of mine of English descent generously reckoned that Richie McCaw should have been shown a red-card for spear tackling...himself.
When he did the rock-n-roll up-and-over thing onto Pocock(?)'s back.
Gotta give McCaw credit, he did wrest the ball away as he flipped over onto the ground. -
A friend of mine sang in a number of RWC anthem choirs in Hamilton and Rotorua. The choir IS miked for singing live and are then "enhanced and complemented" by a recorded track. Sitting in the car with four of them on the drive to Rotorua while they practised the Russian anthem was quite an experience...

Too soon?
