Hard News: What did you do yesterday?,
Email Web
Waitangi day for me was lovely, started the day cooking brunch for a bunch of mates at Rach's house, then a bit of sifting around town and a pint of the excellent Townsend Aotearoa pale ale at the Hop garden, where I as is the way in Welly I ran into numerous beer geek mates that had also stopped in for a nice pint in the sun.
Rounded off the day with bike ride in the bush and a nice pint of weiss bier in the sun on my deck.
All in all a great Bob Marley birthday for me. :-D -

Nice old Herc Stephen, if you need any parts or advise for a beastie like that there are 3 people I'd recommend.
Oli Brooke White

Probably the best mechanic in the countrythe new bike shop at the corner of Adelaide and Ridiford
Can't remember his name but he can fabricate parts really well and does a lot of bike restorations.or the head mechanic at my shop Ricky Pincott.
2nd best mechanic in town and a veritable walking encyclopedia of anything bicycle.
www.mudcycles.co.nzAll three of them can totally get their geek on when it comes to old bikes.

Final nail in the "national representative team" coffin.
Mind you I'm not really all that upset, gave up on watching the game years ago as it ceased to have any personal meaning or relevance to me as a person or as a Kiwi.
It's no longer a sport to me just a mindless money driven entertainment product same as any other tv show.
Admittedly it's not as bad as the Olympics which is now little more than a marketing vehicle for advertising and brand promotion. -
Hard News: Music: Radio is still relevant,
Email Web
What is it with Student radio and "Americana" shows always on Sunday arvo/evenings?
Not that I'm complaining .... The Radio Active one has become a weekly must listen for me at work, only problem with it is that it's followed but a reggae show that's slowly turning to more and more boring Dub instead of the original Dancehall, Roots, Reggae and Dub.
Often have Somafm.com running in the background the rest of the time..... Came across that one at my local craft beer bar which runs it's 480minutes show on the sound system.

Whoops... I'd like to correct my earlier post.
That'd be $1k sqm not $10k.
Sorry. -

I can't help but wonder if the small shops is a result in part from the insanely high rents charged on retail space with high foot traffic counts?
Difficult to cover the cost of rent on larger spaces.
I'm not sure what Q street rents are but it can't be less than what I was recently quoted on a shop on Cuba st in welly I was thinking of opening in........ $10k per square meter per annum plus GST plus 100% of outgoings, although that was in an earthquake strengthened building I guess? -

Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) programme, which is a network of nine military satellites built by Boeing and operated by the US Department of Defence.
Might as well just CC everything automatically to the relevant desks at the pentagon and State departments while your at it.
