  • Hard News: It's worse than you think, in reply to Bart Janssen,

    but the one thing NZ does not have a shortage of is water. Unless of course you are trying to farm a million cows on our one drought prone plain.

    Quite true.
    I mean seriously when did any town or city last have a water shortage or restrictions over summer........ Oh wait.....

  • Hard News: It's worse than you think, in reply to Myles Thomas,

    Interesting that through policy after policy that was knowingly unpopular with the public, this change has come only when journalists’ own business is threatene

    The cynic in me suggests that it will be a very very cold day in hell when the Media's* 1st interest is not self interest.





    * mainstream media mainly.

    Well that appears to (continue to) say "Much like ACT and United Future, the Maori party is a party for hire".

  • Hard News: What did you do yesterday?,

    Waitangi day for me was lovely, started the day cooking brunch for a bunch of mates at Rach's house, then a bit of sifting around town and a pint of the excellent Townsend Aotearoa pale ale at the Hop garden, where I as is the way in Welly I ran into numerous beer geek mates that had also stopped in for a nice pint in the sun.
    Rounded off the day with bike ride in the bush and a nice pint of weiss bier in the sun on my deck.
    All in all a great Bob Marley birthday for me. :-D

  • Hard News: What did you do yesterday?, in reply to Stephen Judd,

    Nice old Herc Stephen, if you need any parts or advise for a beastie like that there are 3 people I'd recommend.

    Oli Brooke White
    www.oli.co.nz
    Probably the best mechanic in the country

    the new bike shop at the corner of Adelaide and Ridiford
    Can't remember his name but he can fabricate parts really well and does a lot of bike restorations.

    or the head mechanic at my shop Ricky Pincott.
    2nd best mechanic in town and a veritable walking encyclopedia of anything bicycle.
    www.mudcycles.co.nz

    All three of them can totally get their geek on when it comes to old bikes.

  • Hard News: You down with TPP?,

    I think you'd have been better off getting Jane Kelsey instead of Bernard Hickey.

  • Field Theory: All. Black.,

    Final nail in the "national representative team" coffin.

    Mind you I'm not really all that upset, gave up on watching the game years ago as it ceased to have any personal meaning or relevance to me as a person or as a Kiwi.
    It's no longer a sport to me just a mindless money driven entertainment product same as any other tv show.
    Admittedly it's not as bad as the Olympics which is now little more than a marketing vehicle for advertising and brand promotion.
