Hazar for sport

I love sport, generally. Not all sports - I can't watch car racing for long - but most sports I will watch for a while. So I'm like a pig in mud at the moment. Not only are we in the middle of a great, if conclusively forgone, tri-nations cricket series, but we also have the Australian Open tennis tournament on, and I'm sure there's plenty of other good sport on at the moment too. Yay.

And while I'm on the topic - hazar for ABC radio and their sporting coverage. Even though most people think listening to tennis on the radio is more boring than watching it, I'm not one of them - I quite like it. Channel 9 could learn a thing or two about cricket commentary from them too. So hazar for sport, hazar for tennis, hazar for cricket and hazar for ABC's Grandstand. Ooh, I'm in a good mood tonight...

Hazoo for the media

Why do we watch so much television? Nay, why do I watch so much tv? It's genuinely hazooful on most occasions. Lots of important and interesting things happen in the world each day, and what does the tv news report on - Prince Harry's party costume. I've worn a Nazi outfit to a fancy dress party before, and no one reported on me - they realised it was a fancy dress party. Do they report on numerous kids who dress as wizards and witches for parties? Denouncing them for supporting witchcraft? What about actors who dress as Nazis for performances of The Sound of Music? Obviously I think it is very silly and not worthy of cluttering up my news. Hazoo for stories blowing things like this out of proportion and hazar for stories about rescuing dogs from under houses.

Hazoo for Channel 9

Cop a squizz at this - Fish Out Of Water: Where's Latham? - don't worry about the Latham stuff, but Fishboy's take on Channel 9's seeming contempt for Sydney's West Wing viewing public is spot on, and earns them the second, and long awaited hazoo for this blog. Channel 9 can't do cricket well, they can't do news terribly well, and they can't do time terribly well.

I came home tonight at the prescribed time for The West Wing, and found Channel 9 in the middle of Nightline, and I had to wait another 20 mins or so for The Wing. No major problem for nightowls like myself, but for people who enjoy their sleep it's just too late on a school night.

I apologise to people who have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm sure every city has one TV station which seems to have lost either its clock or its copy of the TV guide, or both. It's a bit silly.

So, hazoo for Channel 9, and hazar for The West Wing. I still have very little idea what people are actually saying, but I don't care - I like the way they say it.
