  • Field Theory: Week Eight,

    I wonder why sports venues don't do like airlines and oversell some events?

  • Hard News: McVicar and the media,

    Hopefully he’ll get sucked into an “I think my argument is so powerful that it's not necessary to talk about it” type moment.

  • Hard News: Transferring wealth to Wellington,

    They decided on Palmerston North because they thought it wouldn't survive as a town otherwise, whereas Wanganui clearly would (they thought).

    My understanding was that the Wanganui City Council turned Massey down because they didn’t like the thought of a whole lot of students ruining their beautiful and dignified city.

    So delusions of grandeur in Whanganui Local Body politics is not a new phenomena.

    What Robyn and Stephen said.

  • Field Theory: Friday at the test,

    Having been at the opening day of the Pakistan test at the same venue in mid Dec reaffirmed my belief that March is the best month for a Basin test. And that includes the over-rated Boxing Day test.

    HG; I wasn't sitting that far from you but I didn't actually notice the boorishness. But, like Dan Slavin, I remember ODIs (and even tests) from the 90s so perhaps I'm a bit immune to it. Plus, I was more in the transistor radio part of the crowd.

    The only person I noticed getting some lip was when the Director of Strategic Finance arrived (good on him for turning up).

    One thing that really struck me was how many more Aussies crossed the ditch for this compared to previous series. A reminder that sporting tourism is a growing business.

    Another consideration about this sculpture; especially if it’s going to be put between pubs and the harbour.

    It looks very climbable.

  • Hard News: The Auckland Council as leaky…,

    Wonder if this Fred Philips guy would’ve actually tried to restrain his kids if it was someone other than Chauvel they were annoying.
