  • Hard News: The Near Future,

    Aren't we all a bit precious regarding sniffing out a potentially anti-semitic comment?

    Going on form, Winston's main objection with banks is that they are all foreign-owned?

    BTW, anti-semitism is not worse than racism just because of Hitler.

  • Hard News: Some things you may not know,

    Rip it Up the magazine predated Rip it Up the song by several years.

    In fact when the song came out, I remember RIU the magazine had as a clue in their cryptic crossword "They've stolen our name; we've got the pip"

  • Hard News: A lot of money and a bit rich,

    Truly magnificent spotting there Russell...

    I wonder what Keith Quinn and Ron Palenski made of him in France in 95 (assuming they ever got to meet him of course)

  • Hard News: A lot of money and a bit rich,

    I've always wondered...

    Does anyone know what Hamish McKay's background in broadcasting or journalism is?

    Or did they just find him in a Karaoke Bar somewhere?

  • Hard News: Can somebody hook a brother…,

    This discussion seems to indicate that as a nation, are we now concerned about the availability of real beer and the origins of HP sauce than another brainless performance by the All Blacks.

    Ben,

    Isn’t the teenager angle Moore’s strength though? You can have all the earnest , ground-breaking Panorama style documentaries you like, and they’re likely to sail over the average US –MTV person’s head.

    While we’re on the subject of UK delicacies; why is it so hard to but Mulligatawny soup in this country?

    I can’t find a supermarket that sells it, and the Wishbone product is a pretty weak imitation.

  • Hard News: Transmogrithingy,

    Well said Neil M.

    I wonder how Hone would take it if everyone just referred to him as “Mummy’s Boy”?

    Hone Harawira should have called Howard a racist dwarf. That would’ve really got him thinking.

  • Random Play: A missive from an ancient mariner,

    The thing that is missing from the Government’s “investment” of $10m (and counting) in the next AC campaign is if the purpose is to increase NZ’s profile amongst yachting fans in Europe or if it’s in an attempt to host the Cup again.

    If it is for the former (and Mallard did seem very proud of the fact he’s been “networking” with rich people on the radio yesterday) he should say so.

    But if it’s in an attempt to actually win the thing, then the money should be spent on rehiring NZ’s best sailors. As a taxpayer I couldn’t really care about any personal jealousies between Dalton, RNZYC, and Coutts / Butterworth.
