As for those 238 countries. I can only account for 219 and that is including disputed states such as, Abkhazia, Kosovo. Palestine, Taiwan , Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and who could ever forget, Transnistria – Transnistrian Moldovan Republic who are, no doubt, Rugby Union fans above all else.
Two teams from Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria, play in the Ukraine Rugby League: Dynamo-Center and Olimp-Electronmash.

I don't have time this morning to go through Step Change: Success the only Option, Report of the Inter-Party Working Group for School Choice
I got this far before breaking down in tears of sardonic laughter. These people really do think like this: we need a step-change and success is the only option. Next they will be telling us they like a challenge, think outside the box and that they work hard and play hard.

How hard is it for architects and planners to grasp that that sort of residential building doesn't bring life to a space, it kills it?
But, but, for years architects and planners argued for the sort of spaces you want. It was the politicians who handed the Viaduct to the rich.

You can be entirely cynical and say Power's greatest sin was excessive candour, when any experienced Minister would at least pretend to crack the spine before stuffing it under the wobbly leg of the coffee table.
Or you can quote what he said:
Justice Minister Simon Power immediately ruled out any liberalisation before the commission received public submissions on the discussion document.
"There's not a single, solitary chance that as long as I'm the Minister of Justice we'll be relaxing drug laws in New Zealand," he said.
Perhaps we are all missing something, some code which is known only to Freemasons or to members of the Secret Seven; or perhaps not.

Fort St and K Rd are the traditional venues for that kind of thing, surely?
We need to ensure that Fort St and K Road will be stops on the Walking Bus route.

Look at them up close and you can see they have been patched up over the years. They are a mess inside as well.
Future generations will struggle to understand why we knocked down the theatres but kept the sheds.

That's like describing War and Peace as a novel about Napoleon's successful invasion of Russia.
What, no spoiler alert?

McCully's preferred option won't be happening; not in 571 days. The other options are rather sad. We should use the Viaduct and Aotea Square.
