| 289038 | 2004-11-07 22:09:00 | LMAO Paul Holmes wouldn't have time to even read, let alone post in a place like this as he's always too damn busy spending the many millions he's made being one of the world's worst broadcasters, totally devoid of any journalistic talent & being a complete twat according to the majority of posts here. Man I wish I was that useless at everything I did! Looking through the list of names who slag him off, a large proportion regularly post similar minded comments about Telecom & Bill Gates's inability to produce reliable software. (Another couple of lifes losers) What is it you people have about success greater than yours. MUCH GREATER. Those tall poppies must sit at home at night laughing their appendages off at all the jealous pond life who in reality, aspire to be just like them and certainly wouldn't turn down the cash they make for being as useless & inept as they are in their chosen fields. |

| 289039 | 2004-11-08 02:24:00 | I wasn't writing the response for Paul but attempting to cryptically indicate why to me he is an inept broadcaster. If TV were fragile enough to pay him vast sums to keep him then that is business between them. I am not jealous in any way. I suggest, if you want to listen to a coherent broadcaster, try listening on National Radio this week to Maggie Barry - nine to noon-, or Sunday am to Chris Laidlaw, or again to Susan Wood who at least could get out sentences without rephrasing and repetition. Kim Hill is another class broadcaster. Rae Lamb and Linda Clark also spring to mind with Sean and Geoff there too. Of the work and social circles I mix in (nothing flash or jafa like, but provincial NZ south of Cook Strait), very few people could accept that he was the leading broadcaster in New Zealand. From time to time he massaged an itchy spot in NZ consciences with panache, but more often the massage was of his own ego as well as that of the interviewee. Telecom and its predecessors and I have had a comfortable relationship for thirty five years - no complaints but wonder about gross salaries for the top and damn all for those who actually keep the systems working. Check a help desk pay rate for example. Bill Gates ditto - he gave the world a product that was needed and is still dominant if flaky - good on him for making money and for his huge donations to various foundations and charity. New Zealand kids benefit from his generosity. |

| 289042 | 2004-11-08 04:52:00 | Just goes to show the differing opinions visavi Paul Holmes. While the geeks who frequent this forum may hate him (do people here just hate things for the sake of hating them?) many hundreds thousands of TVNZ viewers love him. Thats why he has been on TVOne at the absolute ultimate time spot (7pm) for the amount of years he has, and why TVNZ can command top dollar in advertising revenue. Nude Nut of the Kerr Klan ~ possibly a close relative to DUNK ;-) |

| 289044 | 2004-11-08 09:24:00 | I personally have not met anyone one who likes him but I do know of one person who does. His program with Keri was about the most pathetic piece of broadcasting I have ever seen. |
