    an update on the new Yankee Stadium

    Fantastic, Hadyn. Those are obviously part of the disabled seating area - no legs, no legroom. Badoom tish .

    I also giggle every time I see Alan Bollard these days

    Heck, I've even been known to chuckle at his namesake embedded in pavements (oddly to a Pistols soundtrack). Way with words, that Haywood.

    Let's not get fixated on the creators. Can I suggest that those "not owed a living" are more our cultural distribution, publishing and marketing industries in their traditional forms. I'm sure no one wants to see starving artists, musos, writers, etc. The need for their contribution continues, although it is threatened by economic and technological change and by those who resist it.

    is this Rich Poole the one from Fine Wine Delivery?

    Pretty sure he's not. Here's our friend in 2005, and more recently enjoying the fruits of hanging in the golden eastern suburbs.

    My memory had conveniently removed that chirpy crapola. By contrast...

    walking down Queen Street at about 10pm on a Friday night in 1984 and seeing all the break-dancers performing outside the storefronts

    which by the mid 90s, delivered us this (with props to the Welli crew):

    then later, stuff like this (also drawing confidently on the club music and traditional forms of the largest Pacific city on the planet):

    the best city in the world in 20 years time - as long as the visionless souls running things now don't screw it up too much

    So would Aucklanders please stop voting them in. Especially if we get one big Council.
