But then, hopefully you still have subs at Consumer!

As a professional writer, it should only take a few seconds to sort out the difference between "its" and "it's".
NEVER!
Do us a favour then and just ditch the apostrophes altogether - you'll be right more often (and it'd be less annoying to spelling geeks)...

MUST add Stinky Jim and Dubhead in here, those fellas just kill it every week. Outstanding work, week in, week out.
Specialist shows are where it's at on stations like the b and Active. For some reason both outfits seem to struggle with regular shows IMNSHO: too much talk, too many ads. It's not rocket science... No one wants to hear blather and endless commercials on student radio.
For a tip on how to do it properly, I'd recommend Radio One - I heard a bit when I was in Dunedin last month and apart from some fool who started ranting about socialism (and was hopefully taken out back and shot by the fascists he was railing against), it sounded just like student radio should.
Disclaimer: worked at R1, volunteered at bFM and Active. Now work in public radio and comm radio.

No time and a half or days in lieu or anything? You need to renegotiate, young man... I just worked Easter Weekend for another media company, four days and got paid for six. Nice...

That’s how blogs should work – we’re not journos
? How come Close Up let you on board... tut tut, standards are slipping
According to the study, viewers pupils were dilated 99 percent during fast-forwarding ads
Wow those people deserve blipverts then (hope they don't start exploding like on Max Headroom though)... Ad breaks are 4 minutes people. In prime time anyway, maybe 3 elsewhere. Just add the time and restart your digi device then...

That's Bastardos took my Daily Show away. Or Bastardoes... possibly.
Anyway, they haven't. It's just going back home, mkay?Hmm.... a titled superior pedant with a humour bypass.
Now its not often you see one of those.Not sure it's me with a sense of humour bypass here "andin"... Too obscure? Merely attempting to get across that your Daily Show hasn't gone at all.
It'll be back shortly on a different channel. One that has Southpark on it a lot.
Though if you don't have Sky you may miss it.

I've never, ever got the whole Macworship bullshit.
Despite using Apple at home forever - by default really, I inherited my brother's Classic and just went from there - there are always tiny little things wrong that Jobs SHOULD have anticipated, or even worse, deliberately left that way just to be different - the Apple key not being on the far left for example, meaning I have to think before I press the key at home vs being at work on PCs. There are many, many other pet peeves, all illogical and that should be fixed at design level that I won't go into here. You know it's true...
Jobs is as bad as Gates, only he wants to rule the world through hardware. This is good...

Gareth Thomas is still playing pro rugby for Cardiff, in the same side as Xavier Rush I believe. Just retired from Tests.
The Tonight news show on TV1 has a BBC piece on him coming up this evening, around 11pm (Tuesday night - half an hour or so away from time of posting).
Lovely accent he's got too - but man he looks like a munter. And he sure has the worst tryscoring celebrations.

Yeah gotta love Smith. For a slow, skinny lawyer he is an exceptional player.
Obviously I mean slow as in, only compared to other All Blacks... skinny, I definitely mean next to me.
