Cultural cringe? You mean that you were personally responsible for the landscape (certainly wasn't me, but I wish you had consulted me - could we have had slightly smaller mountains as a trade-off for less faultlines - OTOH you seem to have placed the latitudes nicely,tho' why you couldn't have settled on more regular rain pattern would have helped). The landscape in which are raised is fairly random. In some places we are better than others, in others worse.

Finland has empty wilds and genuine Tolkienesque landscapes - after all, he based a lot of LOTR aspects (Elvish) and legends on Kalevala. Also sophisticated infrastructure. Butonr could also use bits of Provence - not too far - and , PJ had to do a fair bit of travelling to cherrypick bits of NZ scenery - Probably just as costly when one thinks of superior tansport systems in Europe

...and in British dramas, when a character sets off for NZ, its just shorthand for writing them out without the inconvenient tedium of having them killed and then having to screen a funeral episode

Actually, don't tell PJ, but from what I remember, Provence would be an ideal place for the Hobbitt - varieties of landscape often superior to New Zealand, all the infrastructure just down the road- only prob being labour costs..

...and swimming in the morning and skiing in the afternoon is far more feasible in Beirut
I agree, we are inclined to oversell our attractions -
What always strikes me is the minimalist bleakness of those homes featured in interior decoration, architectural and house and garden magazines - always a state of art TV , but usually not a book in sight, or if some do feature, always a neat little display of coffee table books, carefully stacked so as not to disturb the indoor-outdoor flow...

Vintage Ranapia- 'cept that I've now got to track down Ulta violet
Thanks ! -
For those who cannot access MP3 (various reasons), could Craig put his 180 seconds script on-line (I presume he is not just speaking off the top of his head)? From his previous work, Ithink it would be worth reading - thanks muchly

am assuming that if the sight of insufficiently-covered man boobs drives those around you to adultery (which causes earthquakes), then you are as culpable as any lightly-clad woman covered in the statement's original reach.
That's the funny thing - it dosent. Quite the opposite. My shameless (as in Strumpet (as in blowing of ones) display has not been able to get a tectonic plate to budge a millimetre :-(
or should it be this :-) ?
