Marmite: What the hell is wrong with this country

Yes, that’s right, New Zealand is apparently facing a shortage of one brand of yeast based spread – it’s the end of the fucking world.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king

There is a new (ish) show on TV in New Zealand – “Would I Lie to You?”
The concept of the show is pretty simple, two teams of three “compete” in telling stories and guessing if they are the truth or lies. Basically it is designed to have funny people tell interesting and amusing stories – the guessing, the points, they aren't even vaguely relevant to anything.
Essentially it is 7-days (another show on TV3), but not about news. Oh, and not as good.
