Oh totally. Whenever people over here tell me they want to visit NZ and how the country sounds beautiful, the people friendly etc. I always say it's true but warn them that we are a country desperate for approval so they need to be prepared to be constantly asked what they think of the place. That's what all of that…
Another fellow Kiwi now living in the UK (and have worked in news too, hmm) and I just wanted to say yes, yes, 3x yes. One thing I found really interesting was BBC News' coverage (a brief comment buried in the bulletin) was a really refreshing change from what I knew the NZ coverage would have been.
I'm guessing she's meant to be putting her shoes back on after just having performed the 'footsie roll'?
Another New Zealander also agreeing with this - especially with our current government, many of whom are rich white men who are dismissive of people who aren't like them. The Prime Minister is as floppy as a wet fish though so if this gets enough negative attention in NZ, I'd be surprised if he didn't intervene - I…
The weird thing about this is that the Daily Mail are all over it, but they also hunted him down back when she first outed himself - they didn't name him but they said who he was and got comment from him. He definitely seemed to have known/believed she was a sex worker then...
...Wishing only wounds the heart.
OMG, I'm overseas and hadn't seen this. I am now crying too!
Yes! So proud to be a Kiwi today. And when the vote was in favour, people started singing Pokarekare Ana... Too much.
Yeah and surely LYLAS would make more sense for Fifth Harmony who actually aren't sisters... These ladies could just be LYS!
Is it wrong that I laughed aloud?
Totally. And the fact that so many people seem to love it makes it worse. Totally the Two and a Half Men of the nineties. So glad others feel the same way (and that gameboy is winning!).
OMG, I cannot count the times that I have had this exact same conversation!
Kind of erogenous right?
I think the Carney/Bieber feud is actually quite interesting. It all started for stupid reasons (Carney's TMZ-prompted comments about Bieber and Grammys) but Bieber fans have gone on the attack to the max and Carney is kind of calling them out on it. I am so sick of fans/shippers thinking their like/love of someone…
Hey, yeah! I really liked that movie! And I saw it before I'd ever heard of Maya Rudolph. I totally want to rewatch it now!
I think part of the emphasis is on directors, studio heads etc. because they're more likely to have an impact on the stories being told (and the way they're being told) than some other roles.
