    20 / 20 this Sunday

    Just saw an add for 20 / 20. This Sunday they have a story on the asian driver that killed a biker and got off.

    Probably a good idea NOT to watch if you don't want to suffer extreme indignation. Motorcyclists seldom, if ever, get a fair go from the media.

    Thanks for the heads up. Might have a BBQ instead of watching. Beer anyone?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Little point having an open mind with television "journalism" in the state it is in.

    It will be an excuse-fest and a diatribe on how badly we treat immigrants.

    You bet me to it Spud, 7.30 chanel 3. I'm gonna miss it but, it looks (from the promo) like it's pretty much on the riders side. I think I'd get too upset if I watched it though. Anyone know if there is a telly on the Ferry?

    I won't be watching it, but for slightly more selfish reasons...

    You see, this coming week I'll have to negotiate the minefield of "But why don't you just buy a nice little car, then?" before I can safely ensconce a Zeal on my back porch.

    An emotive television programme with *either* of the possible theses, namely that (a) motorcyclists are all suicidial idiots or (b) motorcyclists are being slaughtered by means beyond their control would do my cause no good whatsoever with the lovely Mrs Random.

    But I'm sure I'll get a quick summary here from someone who does watch it.

    The fast one isnt sailing till December (Lynx) but yep Celtic, you can watch it on TV on the ferry.

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Sounds like classic sensationalist pseudo-journalism to me (no matter which way they decide to tell the story).

    Glad I don't have a tv.

    Just watching 20/20

    The guy who killed the young man on his bike..... got 250 hours community service and a $10,000 fine.

    The guy did a U-Turn without indicating, and had been banned from driving as he was picked up the month before... still running around using his chinese license.... and he had been living in NZ for a couple of years and yet didnt understand the word "FORBIDDEN" to drive in NZ.

    Think it time overseas folks stopped playing ignorance....and pretending that they dont understand the english language.

    The young guy on the bike (sorry cant remember his name) crashed straight into the side of the car and was killed instantly, his pillion survived the crash.
