DomPost Ignoring Its Audience
Hello, I thought the DominionPost daily newspaper is first and foremost a Wellington Region newspaper. And secondly a Lower North island newspaper.
But once again it has engaged a reporter who quite often ignores the Hurricanes and in Monday's ;lengthy summary of the Super Pacific rugby round of matches, failed to mention The Hurricanes men who thrashed the Reds in Townsville last Saturday evening past just that.
Ok, make the next edition - Tuesday - a spot for the Hurricanes to be given some kind of review. But no, not a jot.
Is it good enough?
No wonder players like Billy Proctor cannot get a look in for the ABs.
Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
