Mind you, half of Wellington’s from Christchurch anyway
Taking the place of the Wellingtonians who now live in Auckland, I suspect - me being one of them. We are legion!
Yes, the Christchurch thing....I have minor dealings with a firm down there who seem to have disappeared into the liquefaction. My first thought after the nasty quake was "Hope they're OK" and subsequently I heard that yes, they were OK, the staff was all back at work, but payments that were promised weeks ago haven't eventuated, and I can't bring myself to inquire further. Doesn't seem kind or right, somehow.

Oh yeah? Was going to come back with some smart riposte if I could think of one, but I couldn't, and somehow ten hours later I still can't. Bugger.
Oh yes - there's no pleasing some people!!

Simon gets a bit ansty
We can't have that! He might get antsy, as well.
So what about this then? (Better sound than a recent one, live, in Berlin, imo, so apologies for the "no vid"-video)

I’ve just designed and built a solar hot water system for $50
Presumably not a large hotwater bottle on the roof? :p

It helps to have a sport you can do, which is why Trevor Mallard rides a bike competitively, and Helen went climbing in mountains.
And John Banks ran.

Given the amount of abuse they get I’m not so sure…
Verbal? Surely not. Physical, then?

My personal favourite Raitt song is "I Feel the Same"
and if this ain't cool, with Little Feat'n all, I don't know what is.
