What. A. Cock.
I despise psychics probably more than religious fanatics. On behalf of Jonah's family I'd happily punch him.

@jegga haha, yeah I always have a chuckle when I see the ads for those programs, they always get a 'sense' of this and that, without ever getting a result...assume there is a reason the cops dont actively engage thier services.
I reckon anyone with good contacts and research skills could do what they do...I wonder how many weeks they get warning of the upcoming show and case, and how long to make an episode?

@MN5 check out the the car fight in the comments ,
"She's pretty average really"
"Omg !, how can you say that? Our tall poppy syndrome is just so awful"Repeat 30 times . Well she is very average imho but she's been marketed pretty well and no station I listen to at work plays her music which I am eternally grateful for.

@MN5 that is a superb non story, it has so many levels of inanity and pointlessness
Mentions of tweets from the Lena Dunham about bringing snacks
Lorde almost saying something to the Edge at the gym but going "nah".
Lorde being inconvenienced be U2 doing what they have every right to do.
Just awesomely banal , somehow I missed it in all the fuss over a couple celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary in a storm.
I hate Lordes music but that's not really the point. Every bullshit story I read seems to try and paint her as some prima donna which in all honesty she probably isn't.
The whole 'story' is embarrassing as fuck. If they followed my life I'd be 'just about getting in fights' about 50 times a day.
Me too. It is also a good thing I don't have a camera in my car. A program of me when I used to commute would just be a whole lot of bleeps interspersed with 80's music.

Most of the comments seem to make sense too, well the ones I scanned anyway.

Now here's an editor digging deep into the bowels of an article to drag out some anti-male stuff. Of course the leap taken to link it to rugby is not tenuous at all.
I swear it took me several minutes to find the bit referred to in the headline. Was expecting an anecdote about "rape culture" from the 1980s high school scene but the outcome was a bruise.
That's modern feminism for you: if you look hard enough, you can find something real, perceived, imagined, or feelings-based to complain about. Even if you're a 46 year old TV personality you can dredge up an incident from high school.

Why on earth is that even a story?
[moving into grumpy old man mode] back in my day a big part of what pulled you back into line after pushing your behaviour too far was that adults other than your parents would tell you off.

I wonder if NZH pays these guys just like the Women's Day do?

@Crucial was a big discussion on Breakfast this morning, with lots of people saying he should not have told the kids off, some saying he should have told the waitress, others he should have told the parents.
Its a story cos hes a 'media person' and he done something that is apparently not the done thing...

Simple solution, give the kids a couple of cans of V each and then send them back to their parents.

@taniwharugby you are bringing up kids in a different generation. What's your take on it?
That 'takes a village' comment is exactly how things used to be. If another parent had told us off as kids for doing dumb shit our own parents would have simply said 'good, you deserved it'. Nowadays you get kids running feral in public places and if the get in my way I usually say something only to notice their parents give me the evils for saying something to their kids.
It's just a selfish 'me' culture that has come about where everything is focused only on yourself or your children and token consideration for how it affects others.
As a side note this is one of the good things about getting kids involved in rugby. Great lessons to be learned on working together and how decisions you make can affect others in your group. Having coached young kids it was quite noticeable how many took a while to understand that because their parents had brought them up to think the world revolved around them. -
@Crucial I'd of told them to piss off too, my wife said she would have spoken to the Waiter/waitress.
I been to a Small Blacks coaching session tonight, very focussed on reminding parents that kids play it to enjoy it and keeping it simple.
