  • Hard News: .... and the Rock 'n' Roll,

    can we ban 'moving forward' first?

    Maybe we could move to..

    Me: Does anyone every say moving forward to you?

    Neighbour: No way man, You'd get your ass kicked for saying that around my work...

    also I never thought I'd hear my self say the orginal cure version was more upbeat than the cover. Good none the less

  • OnPoint: Let it die. Please.,

    So this line here...

    But it’s impossible to look at this indecent assault on numeracy and not think that it’s a lightly paraphrased briefing paper written by a policy-cum-comms hack (Research Unit?) outlining the key messages that National wants to get out ahead of the Budget.

    gets around 400 words of indignation from Farrar...

    And Keith only says thats what goes through his mind, no statment of face here..

    Oh and what about the actual post?

    that gets

    No problems with you responding to the actual analysis

    see that's what pisses me off, your posistion has been shown to be shaky so instead of just accepting that you latch on to a throw away line and spend your time attacking that.

    It's winter, try building snowmen instead of strawmen...

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    The more I watch Susan Boyle the more I get the nagging feeling it was staged...

    Paul Potts was on DWTS this week and I watched his clip again a few days ago...


    with this performance they spent more time getting sneering crowd shots and judges reactions before hand...they also started appluding almost as soon as she started sining rather than waiting for a few bars in shocked silence like they did with paul.

    I get the feeling that the produces knew how good she was and told the judges to ham it up and as for the crowd shots, they could have been taken at anytime...

    Do you think the producers of Britan's got talents would set up another 'paul potts' moment for ratings? Well the fact that I can't write that off tells you all that needs to be said about reailty TV

  • Field Theory: He's good, but I still…,

    Since we are playing this game,

    Favourite commentator moment "With the injuries to their top players New Zealand really lack depth"

    Then latter..

    "Who is Neil Broom!?"


    Every other country invites an opposing commentator to tell us just these things so they don’t have to Google "Broom, N Cricket" when he runs out their captain.

  • Hard News: Pomp and Circumstance,

    piped water will be supplied on a fully commercial basis

    Does that mean there will be free public ponds from which to draw water from if you don't have access to the piped kind?

    how deliciously third world!

  • Island Life: Let's be Frank,

    I think people might be a little peeved that Mr Key won an election by bagging the previous government and the day after being elected...

    the public books "are not that bad"

    Ministers outside cabinet are ok

    this along with

    Kiwibank being ok, Kiwisaver ok

    and the list goes on...


    I can understand why ACT supporters might be a little peeved with the new Labour government headed by John Key

  • Island Life: What I saw at the product launch,

    Yes well done Auckland Central, we now have a vacuous 28 year old to help our most needy residents interact with government services.

    maybe she can take some tips from Judith Collins on how to get constituents of traffic tickets...

  • Hard News: The out-of-control manchild…,

    The Barzini edit page is a gold mine of embarrassing edits...

    I like how in October 06 he edited the national party entry to replace the "racist" line:

    The National Party presently advocates policies of ...**ending what it sees as special privileges for Māori**

    to the utter spin of...

    promoting one standard of citizenship for all New Zealanders ("One law for all")

    they edits are so clumsy he will have the whole PR community giggling into their cocktails
