In all this hoo-haa about The Hoobit and Warners, no one seems to have noticed that the Commerce Committee has reported back on the TVNZ Amendment Bill 2010, with conclusions which seem to have ignored the majority of submissions.

Geoff, did you ever go to any "Mantis" parties in Hamilton, back in the day?
@Petra: no, don't know about these. Must have been before we shifted to Hammy from Wellington in 1992.
Re The Pretty Things--the campaign was orchestrated by Truth, after Viv Prince rang around the stage at the New Plymouth concert, in a drunken state and waving a lit newspaper (maybe it was the Truth?) . In those innocent days, it seemed so daringly anti-social to me.

@Kyle; oh, well. I do that all the time but stray readers of this thread must be rather confused. Enough to say that we trying to draw attention to a rather inappropriate posting!

@Ian. Fair comment. Apologies for creating near-distress. I should have just stuck to the Waikato/Auckland game.

Security required in aisle 3!!!

The Pretty Things, eh? I remember posting a memory here way back about being at the infamous New Plymouth concert, which resulted in them being hounded out of NZ (but not their fellow act Sandy Shaw).
On another matter. I guess it had to happen one day (that is, the Wallabies beating the ABs)

And Al Green, of course.

I agree with you, Tony. Richard Thompson's "Dream Attic" is damn good. I would add Nick Cave to the list.

Bloody hell. That was close--Auckland deserved to win but Waikato sneaked in, in the final seconds (except that we didn't see much of it as Sky coverage crapped out). Final score: Waikato 38 Auckland 37

Good to be honest about--wedged upright in the King's Arms for nearly 4 hours, for the Lil' Band 'o Gold, was a bit of a trial.
Hoping for a Waikato win tonight, of course, but they do have a history of mucking it up at the last post.Any chance of Arcade Fire or Mumford and Sons or The Felice Brothers touring here?
