a shot looking up Willis Street with a long lens (making the Council housing block at the top of Willis Street seem closer than it actually is). You can see the neon sign for the old Majestic Theatre
I was thinking that too. And if you look right at the end of the street, I'm sure those tall buildings are the old hotel that was on Tinakori Rd, and the Chinese Embassy. The Sharella Motor Inn, I remember it well. You can tell it's Welly cos of the hills and bush directly behind those tall buildings.

Well, I have to say I recorded the Music Awards and fast forwarded through most of them. I love Anika Moa - and I thought she was very funny. And why did no-one mention Andrew Spraggon and the funky fineness that is Sola Rosa? I thought that Iva Lamkum was divine, singing Turn Around. I don't know. Tickets to these things are wasted on you lot.

Some fanciers of men even think this guy is a smarmy git.
Oh, I agree. Can't be doing with pretty boys. But then I fancy Mikey Havoc, so I could quite possibly be deemed the least qualified person in the world to say who's attractive to other people.

It never fails to surprise me that people still don't get it. There are many things that happen in this universe, this world, that we just don't know how or why they happen. Why do we have to know. Isn't it enough, Peter, that people get alleviation from pain and other maladies? I understand that it is beneficial that treatments are somewhat based on efficacy. But does it always have to be proven in a medical journal somewhere? Maybe for you, that's important. But as many people have tried to tell you, Peter, all that mattered for them was that it worked. My husband had leukemia, he went the conventional route, he had chemotherapy, they gave him Prednisone. The haemotologist told us that they had no idea why or how, but that steroids enhanced the effect of chemotherapy agents by three times. That was 13 years ago. They still use steroids in conjunction with chemotherapy, and as far as I am aware, they are no closer to knowing the whys and wherefores than they were. So, really, I know you're a scientist, but if doctors can admit ignorance, and quite happily, who are you to say that people can't find their own ways of living comfortably?

@Sacha and Sue - thanks for that. May need to fill myself in, as it were.

Oh god, have I missed the beginning of that series? FAIL.
It's coming soon to TV3, Danielle. PASS
And I have to admit that I made the decision early on not to watch OF. I can't remember why. I now regret that decision.

@Sacha - yes, still on holiday. Go back to my young 'uns next monday. I was waiting for Sofie and her Mr to come back from the UK so we could all go for a drinkie poos, but I think they may be a while yet. Do you fancy one or two? Who would like to come with?

More the Big World, Sacha. And if we're to be concise about it, I believe George may be trying to say The Big Bad and Wide World. Or that might just be me.

Bloody hell. Those poor bastards. As if they haven't been through enough, already.

I'm just worried about my kids' families.
