Yes, there are blue penguins at Matiatia Wharf on Waiheke Island, but only in the dead of Winter when they arrive and stay awhile, to the great delight of the evening commuters who can see and hear then squawking just below the access way to the wharf.
Re Denise Roche and the Green vote, voting for Denise was not causing Labour to lose a seat - an electorate seat is really irrelevant except in cult towns like Epsom, Tauranga, Wigram and Ohariu. A few posts back somebody was speculating why urban liberal electorates were not better hunting grounds for Green electorate votes. I think Denise did spectacularly well by getting more than the average green vote. -
The Grey Lynn tribe sounds like they should all vote for Green candidate Denise Roche instead of Tizard to keep Kaye out. I was at a canddiates' meeting on Waiheke Island and Kaye *constantly* leafed through her folder, not just when she had lost interest.

As an aside, over the next three nights Triangle TV and Stratos TV will broadcast the VOA DNC (Triangle from 10pm-1am, Stratos from 10.30pm-1.30am, Wed/Thu/Fri)
Next week, the RNC will be covered Tue to Friday (Triangle TV 10pm-1am, highlights on Stratos at 5-6pm) -
I pine every 4 years for a return to the original Olympics: no clothes, no teams, no women.
Regards the "Berlin" comparison, Triangle & Stratos TV are screening the Leni Riefenstahl documentary Olympia and it is uncanny to see how those Olympic rituals fit in nicely with any regime that wants to use them as propaganda. Hitler using the same phrase as Hu Jintao to declare the games open was expected but still sounded eery. -

Anyone game to write Perigo's article on http://www.dickipedia.org?

Isn't Perigo a poo-pusher instead of a poo-flinger? He and I may play the same sport but he's certainly not on my team.

I like the diagnosis of "Caveman Dressed in Workshop Syndrome" Mr Veitch 'suffers' from.

(I'm sure someone will point out the link to that 2 X 2 grid thingy that I can't remember the name of...)
