more with the accent thing

This was rather serendipitous after my recent blather about accents.

TV3 news item today about how the Kiwi Accent is evolving.

Ahh Philip Sherry. Now theres a sensible no-nonsense newsreader if ever there was one.

Plus comments from some rather excitable types.

In other news, it was discovered at the weekend that our new 50 and 20 cent pieces are simply crap for use in table rugby. Too small and too light.

I saw that too - the whole 'air' vs 'ear' thing was almost cringe-worthy. We are very lazy!!!

Awesome, thanks Sam! I'll try writing around the pics. They were posting, but only at the top of my entry. Irritating, but not the end of the world.

Can't wait to see the Lower Hutt scenery in person! :o)

What, there are new 20cent and 50 cent pieces...!?

Next thing you'll be saying is that there's plastic money!
