| 1445723 | 2018-02-04 20:44:00 | Why do they persist in standing in front of the big screen? To "show off" their legs or posture? :( Did you realise it is a green screen? Everything that is green is replaced electronically with the picture, which is why you will never see the presenter dressed in green. It's a process called Chromakey and has been around for many years. Most of the TV station use it. |

| 1445724 | 2018-02-04 22:59:00 | Bring back Bill Toft I say. All I want is radio with pictures, not personality driven, just Te News. Speaking of which, at least Simon Dallow has made a huge effort to pronounce Te Reo correctly, unlike the old NZ Broadcorping Castration lot who were forced into Received English. It is the TV One weather presenter - the Pommy bloke - that drives me mad. He gabbles frantically because he is utterly incapable of paring down his script to a reasonable length for the available timeslot. He is so enthusiastic about weather as a subject, and seems to be on a mission to educate the great unwashed, whether we want it or not. I just want a summary of what is likely to happen in the atmosphere, not Weather 201. And I find him creepy. Give me Renee any day over him. |

SWMBO and I totally agree with you, creepy being a good description. We hit the mute button when he is on, sounds much better. 😁 Ken😊 |

I missed most of the content of his "forecasts" because I was trying to decipher what he meant, for example, by "goalposts" and warnings of imminent destruction/disaster (that never eventuated). To hell with the clowns and those whose only forecasting ability is to read from a prompt, a script prepared many hours prior (a forecast prepared mid morning at best). The pom does know what he's talking about, and as someone professionally involved in aviation weather for many years I personally welcome his no nonsense tell it as it really is approach. |

I just find it weird being called a Pom in NZ as does he probably, since they were all sent to Australia free of charge |

I can detect the accent and said are you a Pom and some have said how did you know I came out as 5 yr old etc. My pomometer is finely tuned no pom can disguise himself from it. |

True, and most people can't hear their own accent, it's only other people that have accents. I LMAO when people say they themselves don't have an accent. I can hear my own Brummie/Black Country accent even though many have said they can't, and I left there years ago, left Brum proper when I was 8. :eek: |

| 1445731 | 2018-02-06 17:48:00 | However Poms were prisoners, something I and probably most ex English on here have never been. So by definition calling us Poms would be like calling all born New Zealanders Christian church going bible bashers (something I can see Prefect being) | gary67 (56) | ||
