    Rugby needs its own 20/20 discuss....

    Sevens?

  • Speaker: Bigger than us,

    But whatever happened to the alleged Kiwi qualities of pragmatic individualism, distrust of pretension and excessive enthusiasm and (above all else) just keeping things in perspective?

    30 years of wall-to-wall American media?

  • Hard News: Invisible Harblz,

    Doubtless, whatever PR people were involved would have created an extremely flattering edit of proceedings

    Make that "__will__ create..."

    I, for one, am grateful to anyone who pulls back the curtain on the PR. I've been giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, despite my general suspicion of the everyman-ness of multi-milionaire currency-trading National party MPs, but I'll not forget that cold-eyed sneer toward the housing problems of low income people for a while.

  • Hard News: He might be crazy, but he's…,

    What is rock? It is perhaps a term that holds different meanings for different people. But if someone were to ask me what rock is, I would reply “Reckless, by Bryan Adams.”

  • Hard News: Policy, finally,

    I/S - just wanted to say thanks - you make it comprehensible, and I'm sure it takes you a fair bit of work to master all the setail and the digest out for lazy ones like me ;-)

    Much appreciated.

    Someone Should Point Out To Gordon Copeland That "Damage Control" Doesn't Really Mean Telling A Flock Of Reporters That Your Own Team Is "Shambolic", Etc. Same Guy Who Publicly Rebelled Against His Party's Position On The Smacking Bill, And Then Missed The Vote, No?

    The Guy Is Like The Frank Spencer Of Parlaiment.

    Mind You, It's All Very Funny Until They Get A Five Per Cent Share.

  • Radiation: Television hell,

    Spot on, Fiona! I just kept wondering "how much was this funded for, and how much did it actually cost to make?". Oh, well.
