Leaders debate or Dr Who?

**Gremlin** · 11th August 2005, 23:25

Watched the monkeys go at it for 10 minutes and realised I hadn't heard a thing I was too busy watching the graph bomb/hoping it would bomb. Sometimes as the person would start speaking it nose-dived... yeah, the words were sooo important weren't they??

Then mum had control of the remote and it was brats and some nanny "fixing" them, without hard discipline... *yawn*

oh to have had the choice of Bill... err... Dr Who...

Watched Dr Who but the Dalek slipped under the 5% threshold - boy that show is so cheesey it's good

*is a channel whore* IT never stays on one channel for very long... Sam wanted to watch that nanny crap...

Did notice however that in the intro they only had pictures of 6 politicians and they had 8 on the show... lol you know you suck when you need to go to court to be included in a "leaders" debate haha

The worm, sorry, "reactor", was an object lesson why we need a minimum IQ as qualification to vote. If a politician of any stripe said certain buzzwords it climbed, others made it dive. The was no relationship to what we actually know the various pary's to believe in and/or do. Jeanette Fitzsimmons and Rodney Hide said much the same thing in their opening address and the "reactor" reacted exactly the same.
I can't believe that the audience was that precisely selected in terms of party support.
The funny part was Tariana Turias address, when she said "Maori" or "treaty" the worm dived like a russian sub.

Yes, and it showed the poor debating quality of the contestants. They should have had a monitor showing the worm, and when they got their individual talk times - its should have just been charasmatic policy presentation. Heck, they dont even have body language coaches.

Rose got a young man into the TARDIS,the Doctor is not pleased,nor am I....he should of been fed to the Darlek!

Dr Who, then back out to the shed to work on the Bucket. There's no way I can stand watching a political debate- the men constantly talk over each other, mutter in the back ground etc. Drives me bloody nuts! At least Helen (and Jenny when she was around) could hold their tounges until it was their turn and have a reasoned debate!!

One gripe with DR Who though- why is it on at 7:30. The kids are still up and there's some 'scary' bits on that show. Same goes for that show on 3 about the Witches- my wife loves it, I enjoy watching the copious eye candy

I'm sure there are other things to feed him to. (Having seen the whole series I don't want to say too much for fear of giving things away.)

Funny thing about that. JC screwed up the order and skipped over her, twice. Kept giving him the evil eye the rest of what I saw.

Helen giving the evil eye.... I had nightmares last night.
