  • Speaker: It's OK, really,

    I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone asking some questions about how the springbok halfback was able to waltz down the side of the ruck.

    Apparently it was Chris Carter's fault for not fostering a competitive attitude in primary school sports.

  • Speaker: It's OK, really,

    I made the usual mistake of listening to Radio Sport talkback the day after the loss.

    Some of the main themes...

    * It's the gummint's fault!
    * It's the education system's fault!
    * Andrew Ellis is crap!
    * We have no leadership!
    * Our coaches are crap!
    * We should emulate the attitude of the South Africans!

    These people are mad. And mad. Mad, mad people...

    hey james, whatever happened to your site, it was a really good resource for a while back there,

    Just waiting for some love and attention. All the data is still there, languising on my hard drive at home (and various backups about the place).

    Time, the most valuable resource...

    What's been amusing, as Robyn pointed out over at our Wellingtonista blog (live-blogging the, um, 'action'), is seeing the right-wing radio-talkback mob getting up in arms about the enforcement of a user-pays policy.

    Blimmin socialists!! Errr, hang on...

  • Island Life: Gassed Up,

    Was Scott Dixon making a point about the price of milk? Milk = Gas?

    I asked the same question, and received an answer, here.

  • Hard News: Bean-Counting the Beat,

    I hoped someone would pick up on the fact that 'The Rock' is the third most listened to station in New Zealand and NZOA fund and have funded only a handful of songs in 18 years that actually ROCK!

    You're kidding. Aren't you?

  • Island Life: Get over it,

    Here's a question for Wellington cyclists or would-be cyclists: where are the bottlenecks, gaps and deathtraps in what one might exaggeratedly call our "cycle network"?

    yeah, that Adelaide/Riddiford/John St clusterfuck is pretty scary on a bike. I'd be abandoning the road code for the footpath if that was my regular route too.

    My exact rationale for running to and from work each day instead of jumping on a bike.

    Particularly the Berhampore/Newtown bits of Adelaide Road. It's narrow enough in a car, but combine a cyclist crawling up the steep bit of the hill into a blustery southerly, with an impatient bus-driver (is there any other sort in Wellington?) wanting to get past - sheesh, terrifying.

  • Hard News: Phoning a Friend,

    ...it's the only major sport we've got a change of beating them at. Hmm I suppose there's cricket too :)

    And basketball.
