    Did I see something about some sort of attempt to recreate that, but with Six-fucking-60?
    Jesus... the 80s could get away with it... nowadays, with shit bland music, it'll be bloody cringeworthy.

    In fact - the coverage in general is super-cringey. At least with the lockdown coming back in effect for a little while - we were spared coverage of some "reporter" out in the crowd trialling different icecreams, hot-dogs, whatever. Oh - and "let's cut to our mate on a boat in the harbour, chatting with some boozed up insipid fluffybunnies".

                Burling said yesterday that it is better to be lucky than good, but that gain on the 5th leg was down to local knowledge.

                  Someone saw "Do they know it's Christmas" and tried the same without much talent to draw on? That's terrible. Absolutely cringeworthy.

                    Larry Ellison to Jimmy - Are you SURE you don't want that new software, Jim? It only takes five minutes to download. I'm tellin' you, boy!

                    Jimmy to Larry - OK, I'm done with the guesswork. Send it through!

                      Lester and Robertson are good value. If that other guy would just shut the hell up and let the experts speak.

                      I agree about the rest of the TVNZ studio coverage. :face_vomiting:
