A little bit of goodness came from lockdown, #quaranteenagedirtbag from Wheatus, my daughter flying the NZ flag at 1:23 and 3:22. Recorded in our garage :-)

Yes, I think that was the impetus behind the change. Not easy coming up with unique name without resorting to the names of obscure medical procedures

I’ve posted this elsewhere but I know there’s a few muso’s follow PA might appreciate it
My daughter and her band The Dawns were so excited to release their first single “Oblivious” last week but it’s been obviously overshadowed by COVID events.
They also had a couple of gigs lined up that were cancelled like everyone :-)The song is about a boy, “Oblivious” to their attentions
The are all girls and only 14 years old but they can play a bit

Big shout out to the organisers and volunteers of Girls Rock! Camp, my daughter attended this year and loved it. I don't think I'll be getting my garage back anytime soon.

Hard News: Big Night Outage, in reply to Paul Campbell,
The supposed reason for removing the copper is because their resource consent only allows for 1 overhead connection per dwelling (copper or fibre)
Although having said that my copper is still in place

I think that’s where the undergrounding comes in.
The UFB rollout was a massive lost opportunity for undergrounding/shared ducting of services.
On my street the Fibre is underground on 1 side of the street then run up the power poles, strung across the street, tethered to my copper phone line and run into the gable of my house, along the inside of my roof space, then down the outside of the house in a conduit, under the house and then up into the house at the point required
If that's best practice, it's nuts

That seems to be a rather irresponsible statememt from the Chairmain of the local board that people living on the Meola Reef side of the peninsula would be wise to ignore
