Hard News: Music: In before Christmas, in reply to Danielle,
You have seen that Elvis Costello has shifted his outing at a highly inappropriate vineyard, to The Civic on Jan 19? I have my ticket.

Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Joe Wylie,
My old stamping grounds (born in New Plymouth, reared in Hawera). Ronald Hugh Morrison country too. As a boy, we used to go in search in such river valleys for the head of a murdered and be-headed local girl, which was rumoured to be found there.

We don't seem to have any rhetoric yet about video games, violence on television etc etc. I am reminded, however, of the time when a medico was trotted out on TV news in the immediate after-math of the Aromoana massacres. His argument (a familiar one) was that the 'trigger' for the violence must have been a Chuck Norris movie ( Commando ?) which screened on TV that weekend--an argument rather under-mined when the police quietly revealed details about David Gray on the following Monday, including the information that he didn't own a TV set. But he did have shelves of WiIbur Smith novels and gun manuals. Maybe if Gray had owned a TV, he may have been less socially isolated>

, I’d encourage everyone to watch Finding Mercy TV1 tonight at 9.30
Thanks, Kyle. This was pitched at the SPADA Big Pitch competition two years ago, and I am pleased to see it has got to air.
Re Martin Bryant: the most heart-wrenching thing I recall about him was how he used to book flights around the world, to arbitary destinations, so he would be sitting next to someone for conversation.

This morning's debate on Media 3, with Fran O'Sullivan and Bernard Hickey, was very instructive and a reminder to other areas of NZ media that they should be paying more attention to the possible ramifications of TTP.
