Campbell Live - Rope barriers.

[SARGE]

I've had training for presenting documentaries on screen...? Plus, with the added advantage of soon leaving the country for the forseeable future...I could (almost) get away with saying it 'as it is' rather than attempting to cover! Would like to get all facts under my belt first though - so would require support from a research team of KB'ers!

Has anyone actually received a response from the Campbell Live lot?

i did Radio in the States for a few decades.. pretty comfy in front of a mic / camera.. i'd give it a go i think if the need arose ( im a tatooed, one-eyed, bearded malcontent looking fuck though..)

Sounds as though the camera would LOVE you Sarge!

Whereas, I, am a contestant for Miss Universe. Not quite...I'm not that inane. *wonders who on this site she's offending*

Nah...I managed to get the whole 'sensible - but not white or red - starched shirt, good neckline, TV makeup' ensemble thing going on. Auditioned for a few doco's too, but the only one I wanted had a change of producer (science/medicine..Sir Robert Winstone has my job - but he's just keeping it warm for me) who wanted an older, more blokier presenter. Preferably, an old guy with glasses, a pocket protector and socks with sandals.

Sheesh - no wonder the public has such poor opinion of us scientists. I judged a school fair recently, turned up in my best shirt/skirt/tights/heels look (was on bike moments prior to that) and the kids all had to 'guess' what I'd look like. They thought I would be mid 40's, and what I described above. They giggled sheepishly when I finally went through to the class (feeling LIKE a Miss Universe contestant in comparison).

Back to the topic, Waylander - what response that you received?!

might be passed on, but I wonder if you get the generic 'it's cheap and safe so drive a cage' response..

Then I'll just send back with the gas price hike and a few other more exphensive facts about cars including insurance and compare them to what it is on my bike. Then lets say it's cheaper to drive a car. And if they mean chaper for them I'll just make some reference that maybe they could afford it if government officials stopped lining thier pockets and cheating the public out of a decent quality of life.

Nothing a bit of coaching can't cure. Media coaching scientists is something that fills in some of my working hours...

HARRY....I JUST DUMPED AN E-MAIL IN THE TRASH BIN

[Rincewind]

here is the shows homepage.. http://campbelllive.tv3.co.nz/
email them..let them know we are out here ... campbelllive@tv3.co.nz

Have e mailed J. C. myself too, thought it was very biased towards the car as per usual.
My opinion----don't let accountant's design road safety barriers...

Don't think he will take any notice though, the media are only interested in the negative aspects of motorcycling, the most probable outcome would be a show debating banning motorcyclists from using roads where this type of barrier was in operation "for our own safety"

oh Great NZ government.. pray thee , save us from ourselves , as we are but mere children in the grand scheme of things and need to be told what to do, what to eat, who to follow and what to like..secure us in the great 4WD tin cages and deliver us from affordable options... put up Safety barriers that have the capability to kill and maim, and make the targets of thine CheseCutters pay for the privlege of being torn in half..make thine laws so vague and fuzzy that not even your police can understand them..... teach English as a second language and leave the native speakers behind in the schools.. tax our best and brightest to the point they fuck off to greener pastures and flood the nation with immigrant dole - blogging criminals and P addicts.. give us the ability to grow the best fruits, veggies and meats.,.. then sell it off overseas and price the B-Grade shit way over the budgets of the working class that helps build this great nation.. make the cost of living so high we cant afford to.

CAN I GET AN AMEN?

Had to go up to Auckland last night to pick something up and through that narrow stretch with cheese-cutters on both sides I felt vulnerable even in the car. Thought the area around Rangiriri looked like a bloody mess - small wonder the locals want to arm themselves and march on the Beehive.

If this is the best our exorbitant ACC levies can get, then I think we should refuse to register our bikes untill something is done about it.
