"If you think this weather will continue you are deluded."

 

School holidays has seen a few rather nice days, most un-holiday like.

"Political Polls keep media hacks in work"

 

We had a pointless poll which the hacks went crazy about.  Real mindless salivation by these bods.  The reality is that they should get a life.  At this early stage after an election it doesnt matter, and who cares.

"The world has stopped for our school hols."

 

Week one of the holiday ends and nothing in the world is happening.  (or are our journalists having hols too?)

"School hols are here again, just what Mums want."

 

Needless to sy this morning is wet and miserable.  School holidays can break droughts.

"Dare we hope for the Warriors too?"

 

We seem to be doing all the winning, hope the Warriors can maintain that.  (No they couldnt, but they did try hard."

"We may be slow today, but we are trying."

 

It was not the day after the night before, but our grill plate popped its clogs and we cant get it fixed until Monday, so we will be "making do" today.

"Tuesday, Wahine Day, quite a day."

 

50 Years ago the southerly met cyclone gizelle in Cook Strait and picked the Wahine up dumping it on Barrets Reef.  The rest of Wellington suffered from this storm as well.  You had to be there to get the picture, current journalists have not been able to put a complete picture of the day together, maybe they are too young to investigate well.

"Hurricanes, never in doubt, no rush."

 

They took until 85th minute to score the winning try, and convert it, to win by one ahead of the Sharks.  They used a get-out-jail-free card, and could not say they deserved it.  However, we will take it.

"LIght Rail the new way to decimate pedestrians"

 

Todays paper had a picture of a dream.  Will be a nightmare as our young will not hear them or see them as they jaywalk around our city. Another half-arsed pipedream that needs proper thoughts before being hoisted on the public.

"There will be no new taxes.  Apart from this one."

 

Remember the election? Labour promised no new taxes as they were clearly told by the electorate they were not wanted.  Well the first new "non-tax" is around 10c/litre on petrol.

 

Why dont electric cars not pay full taxes?  Why should we subsidise the rich pricks (spot the Michael Cullenism?) that can afford them?
