  • Hard News: Feeling good,

    Attitude is a really cool programme. Every episode is inspiring without being sentimental, and I've come to realise that there are so many people with disabilities out there who live ordinary lives. Also, Curtis the presenter is hot.

    I can't wait to see your segment, so do let us know when it's on.

    But I also want to know when I'll be able to see This Is New Zealand! I want to experience it for the first time!

  • National identify in TV promos,

    I remember a version of the national anthem clip where you actually saw all the singers and a choir performing the song - more a music video.

    From memory, the female singer was indeed Annie Crummer, but I think the male singer was Bunny Walters. I don't know who the older male singer was, but it doesn't sound like Howard Morrison.

  • Island Life: Who's laughing?,

    Oh oh... pumps.

    Why are they called that? Never figured it out.

    Oxford sez: "C16: of unknown origin"

    Also, if someone makes an unpleasant comment and then claims that it was "just" a joke (implying that jokes are inherently innocuous), their claim usually falls over when no one is actually laughing (or lolzing, as the case may be).

  • Hard News: Trams, drams and scams,

    Your conduct doesn't reflect well of the Anzac national psyche!

    The more the Draper personas attempt to be Kiwis, the less authentic they seem.

    It's always interesting to see how foreigners perceive New Zealanders, though.

    Oh yes, Robyn, inherited it when my poor old man carked it!

    What, are you a 60-year-old King Country farmer?

    My Chur Bays'd look great on you. Can we swap. I'm into Chur Bay swapping, although I'm sure our beloved Russell Brown would love to swap something else!!

    Ha! Chur Bay is google-proof, ow.

    An E for effort. You're fooling no one, though seeing yiz jump through Kiwiana hoops is rather fun.

  • Hard News: Trams, drams and scams,

    Down here they're called 'cribs'. Except in Queenstown they're called 'really really expensive'.

    Doris: What do you call them? Cribs or baches? Can you fit your bach through the Homer Tunnel? What flavour jandals do you like? Have you ever been to Chur Bay?

    Actually, I have a serious question for Doris: Do you have a bach in Queentown?

    Poor Doris. The Four Square in Queenstown was out of palm oil so she had to drive all the way to the Foodtown in Milford Sound to get some.

  • Hard News: Public Address Radio,

    The PA radio show sounds like a brilliant idea. Radio and interwebs go together so well. I look forward to downloading and listening.

    Driving through that pesky Homer Tunnel

    Urgent business in the bustling metropolis of Milford Sound, Doris?
