sorry...
Tom Beard: knows his urban design. Knows his bars.
Is there anything else we'd be looking for in a supermayor? Just sayin'then as above...

hey - you nominated ME last time!

Right.
Dare I say it, but I think opening up the question of what actually constitutes a Council's core business is a good thing. Let's get it settled once and for all, define it and move on.Perhaps we could have a referendum on it?
Disclosure of Bias: I was arrested by John Banks protesting against the introduction of the Birch Report

Wow.
No one's asked me yet.
And not too sure about niche magazines being recession proof.

Well Rod Oram seems to disagree that there's a problem and points out there are two other agencies who don't seem to have a problem with us...

I used to illegally cross the bridge late at night and under the influence, before they put up those pesky motion sensors.
One night we got in and walked through the clip-ons. Believe me, driving across them these days feels risky, let alone having hundreds of thousands of people walking over them at once.
I must say, however, the intransigence of Transit NZ (sounds like a nicely ironic turn of phrase to me) with regards to building a walkway/cycleway is such a myopic approach. Instead of - "how can we do it?" - it just gets seen as too hard and too expensive.
It seems to be a particularly self-evident compelling idea. FFS - make it happen, Wayne. Stop fending us off.

Not sure why I never came more often. Remember visiting all those clubs with Jenny Brown (RIP) and feel privileged to have experienced a snippet of Auckland's history.
Looking forward to the night - book me a couple of tickets!

PS - apologies for the syntax and grammar - passionate you see and didn't check before posting.

Janeway was a pain but the stories were ace.
I have to say that some of the flaws in the movie grated:
* Why TF are there plastic sheets hanging for someone to dramatically walk through? WTF is that all about?
* The most advanced ship from the future has a dinky triangle shaped drivers seat without that looks like something picked up from a dodgy discount designer furniture shop!
* What are these bozos doing pushing buttons on a console - surely there's going to be direct mind to machine interfaces not that far away - certainly by the time we have FTL travel? And I KNOW it means no dinkedy dinkedy buzzes and pings as buttons are pushed, but come on...
* Why do the baddies look like bad taste skinhead Maori rockstars? They're a different race of people FGS - not leftovers from some sad metal band.
* You're telling me an Ensign, who isn't even supposed to be there, assumes captaincy of the ship over other senior officers?On the other hand, Solo stole the show with the sword, Kirk kept getting his arse kicked (he should have studied Shatner's delivery a bit better) and NEVER seemed to win (alternative universe indeed), the opening sequence was 'O' for Orsome (Imax), Scotty was brilliant but WTF was the ewok doing there?

Suckertorte? isn't that debt by another name?
(woohoo - my first witticism on one of David's postings).
