I'm not sure if this is a common feeling or not, but I couldn't care less that our flag can be confused with the Australian flag and if that is one of the main reasons stated for changing it then I shall remain unconvinced by the case for change.

Speaking of the Supreme Court building, does anyone have any links to high quality photos of the completed building?

I had to book in October to get tickets to see Avatar at the Imax in London. Now that I want to see it again it seems I won't be able to get seats till the end of the month.

I go back pretty regularly but I'm not sure if I moved back whether or not I'd be given local treatment or otherwise, despite my family being in the district since the 1860s (or was it the late 1850s?) as I've been away in Dunedin/up North and now London for a decade or so.
