Joe Hildebrand’s seven
rules for using public transport.

modernism.
Imperator Fish gets
all satirical about the media/blogosphere fuss about David Shearer and
Grant Robertson. Things have come to a pretty pass when MSM writers base their paid
columns on what unpaid bloggers David Farrar, Cameron Slater and Chris Trotter have
claimed, based on who knows what. Looking at you, Audrey.
And you, Vernon.
And you too, Ms
Watkins. Things have come to an even prettier pass
when the only person to talk sense is Jim
Anderton:
“Did you see the polls for Helen Clark? Labour was 16 per cent and Clark 1 per cent. But some of the people now predicting Shearer’s demise also predicted Clark’s demise.”
Good to see that Booksellers NZ is having
a think about its Premier Bestsellers promotion. It has been a confusing
exercise, and led to this
wildly erroneous story in the Herald
on 20 March which, to the writer’s credit, was corrected
on 30 March. This must be the nail in the coffin:
Major commercial publishers Random, Penguin and Hodder are not currently participating in Premier bestsellers.
Hachette’s Kevin Chapman told The Read “My view is that it was never a success, and we were half-hearted participants. The important thing would be to have it heavily promoted. It isn’t known by the public and that makes it less than ideal.”The Listener says, p77 of the current issue, that on Sky tonight, on the ironically titled channel Movie Greats, at 8:30pm we may view King Arthur, starring Clive Owen, Ioan Gruffudd and Keira Knightley. The film would seem not to know its Woads from its Picts, nor the Listener its Europeans from its other Europeans. The billing reads:
In Romainan-occupied Britain, a cavalry officer and his men are sent to rescue an important family from invading Saxons.
