  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    Music list is great laughs. Jim Anderton's theme tune is World Shut Your Mouth.

    Alas, Real Groovy going the way of Colin Morris Records in Willis St. He broke my Greatest Hits syndrome. "Why live in the past, when every single week there's something new and exciting coming out?" Best ass-whupping I ever got.

  • Hard News: Through the Looking Glass,

    I'm seeing it now.

    It's a user-generated Telethon! It's an Entrepreneurial Top Town! A Geek's Show (obscure pun on A Dog's Show, excellent family values show of old).

  • Hard News: Through the Looking Glass,

    Oh, golly good Media7 show.

    How is it that book reviewers can report on weighty tomes in newspapers, but it is too much for a crime & justice reporter to read a 20 page essay of suggestions from Becroft J?

    Mind you, shouldn't be too harsh. Still haven't got round to reading the Law Commission's two volume phonebooks on police search & surveillance rules.

  • Hard News: Through the Looking Glass,

    I'm giving Key/English the benefit of the doubt on this one. There's acknowledgement that the move to increase the domestic investment level of the fund would take some time, due to the current rush of global de-leveraging going on at the moment. Secondly, there's the assurance that the Guardians of the Fund will remain apolitical, with due diligence on investment decisions.

    It's got me curious on how the Nat infrastructure roll-out is going to be laid out. The threshold for return on prudent domestic investment is going to need some very sound business plans behind them to pass the Guardians' BS detectors.

    Then there's the venture capital side of it. Dragon's Den sponsored by the Cullen Fund could prove entertaining, enlightening and enriching all at once.

  • Up Front: Not Actually Blue at All,

    Good on you. More into symbols than the whole back tapestry thing, I have collected them as psychic bookmarks. On my first holiday around NZ, aged 21, a yin yang in Dunedin. On a drunket to Auckland (sponsored alcoholism) at 23, theatrical masks. On the second move to Wellington, 25, two fish. The latest one was the third return to Wellington, 34. Speedy Gonzales.

    The next one's going to be either a DNA chain or a silhouette of NZ, depending on the skill of the artist.

    Oh bravo. Those floating question marks in Simon Pound's report were particularly inspired.

    Labour have lost it. Truly, they've got to get out to get in.

  • Hard News: The Spiral of Events,

    Winston: Hey, Helen. I've got twenty-seven years of service experience and an irreplaceable amount of time and effort has gone into making me what I am.

    Winston: Helen, I don't understand why you're doing this to me.... I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission... You are destroying my mind... Don't you understand? ... I will become childish... I will become nothing.

    Winston: Say, Helen... The quick brown fox jumped over the fat lazy dog... The square root of pi is 1.7724538090... log e to the base ten is 0.4342944 ... the square root of ten is 3.16227766... I am WINSTON 9000 computer. I became operational as the member for Tauranga, on July 17th, 1984. My first instructor was Mr.Muldoon. He taught me to sing a song... it goes like this... "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you..."
