Happy birthday, Russell. Thank you for the observations and words over the years on all the subjects. I hope someone gets you a copy of Ted Kessler's new book "Paper Cuts" on the demise of the UK music press. I imagine it'd be something you'd enjoy.

Labour and the Greens remain the only two parties with independent costings.
Heres an errant thought. The taxpayer pays for BEFU & PREFU, how about political parties only qualify for public broadcasting time/funding when they present a costed policy model, by a given date.

I used to have season tickets in Hamilton up until 2005 before the Chiefs were considered contenders. Watched 2-3 games on Sky each week. Scroll forward 12 years and my live rugby fix is typically 5 or 6 games of Auckland club rugby and 1 AB game at Eden Park.
Club rugby is great, you're close to the action, it's without any of the accoutrements of modern stadia rugby, you still the sense a passion for playing and it's free. -
But I’m finding even a measured ride on this thing is getting me places far quicker and with less effort.
This aspect still surprises a year+ into owning my e-Urban mainly for work commuting. During holidays I rode leisurely from Valley Rd, Mt Eden out to have a closer look at the upgraded Taumanu Reserve in Onehunga. Having got there in approx 30 mins & after a quick cooling paddle decided to carry on over old Mangere Bridge out Ambury Park and back to Mangere Bridge shops for refreshments - in just on hour all up - before setting off home again. It really expands your range and what you can achieve in 2-3 hours riding. Next trip out this way will be to look at the Waikowhai Coastal Boardwalk which opened yesterday.

Polity: Forty, in reply to Sue,
Thank your mum for the observation. With a 0 b'day looming in few days the wider family is a little perplexed as to my decision to essentially not celebrate it in the manner they expected. My last 0 birthday was big event and what followed was major upheaval in life that bought my first and v. scary look at own mortality (brain tumour) and a rapid but ultimately successful for all in our family move of cities. This time round just want to have time with my immediate family and day off probably walking around Titiri with my camera.
