I'd also like to mention the fact that there are some guys who find the idea of going out with a bi woman rather exciting, I think because they can fantasise about her being with another woman at the same time as being able to shag her themselves.
"[A]t the same time," being, perhaps, the operative phrase.

Some compromise!

And on TV3 news, John Key admitting a move toward privatisation of ACC.
Yes, Sofie, and on Fox News, they've just run footage of Saddam Hussein Obama admitting his intention to celebrate the creation of the United Socialist States of America by smothering Trig Palin with his own fascist hands. Damn his secret agenda to socialise American healthcare by stealth!
So, did he? or did he not?

I wonder if the weirdest thing about that Nightlife video is that it's entirely urban.
"Look! We have restaurants now!"

Because if it's not soap operas we would be dangerously under-served with just the bold and the beautiful, neighbours, shortland street and coro street on a given day.
You're forgetting the jewel in the crown, Home and Away.
But seriously, to people who follow those shows, that's like saying "So what if there's no more cricket. You've got rugby, netball, motor racing..."

It can be easier, sometimes better, to quote generously rather than rephrase the ideas yourself.
Right. Nothing wrong with being an ideas aggregator. Pretending that the ideas are your own, though, is deceiving the reader.
[O/T,
RB, 50-instead-of-20 posts per page is making refering back to older comments, IMO, much harder.] -
Isn't that the opposite of what Geoff's correspondent is arguing? And a tad condescending?
a) I don't think so (and would it matter if it was?)
b) I really don't think so (but I could be wrong.)

It's like the way right-handed people never notice all the little things about the way the world is set up that make life difficult for left-handed people.
Tell me about it. It sluts me off, the way company logos are always upside down on pens.
talk about boys and girls
or maybe "talk about boys and talk about girls." You might think it's clumsy, but perhaps that's only because you're not used to it.
Seriously though, as with the above example, I think the solution may be to be more literal. If colloqial language can't handle what you need to say, it's its problem, not yours.

And yet the clip is so much more.
Indeed. It's so Kiwi it makes Hot Fuzz look like Bad Boys II.

Human beings need social interaction. It's well known that hermits, prisoners in long-term solitary confinement, etc, go nuts.
Soaps act as a virtual social interaction for people who lack real social interaction. Thus, having these soaps canned is a big deal to these people.
It has the same effect on certain of the elderly, infirm, mums at home, shiftworkers, etc, as being made redundant would have on you office workers (that is, a sudden and severe contraction of social interaction.)
I tend to agree that the DooL & YatR fans have a right to some consultation from TVNZ, considering the above and the fact that these shows have been on for an hour a day for 35 years. It may not be important to us, but it's important to some people who don't have much else.
My only suggestion is that the campaigners have a psychologist furnish TVNZ with a report outlining the related mental health issues.
