08:30am 02 Feb 2012 Cyclists and their relationships with motorists are very much in the news this week. As with motorists, I always find pedallers are better behaved when the police are on hand to see them.
Blog: Game Junkie
02:30pm 13 Feb 2012 I've got a road trip later this week as we're taking Ms Game Junkie down to Dunedin on Friday to get her set up for Otago University (yes, I am that old) and it's about this time to start thinking about what games to take with me to play during the down time at night.

The problem lies with who is willing to pay, Landlords and insurance compainies want a $100 job for $5, while they sit around doing a $5 job and get paid $100. There is no money to do the job properly so it doesn't get done properly.
In the old days we would sort it out with pitchforks, now we have to bail them out with golden parachutes.

Our landlord, an established Christchurch-based rental agency, refused to inspect our building after the June earthquake, citing an inspection after the February earthquake as sufficient. They were completely dismissive and, from the tone of their communication, may have thought our concerns to be moronic.
Independent assessors were concerned with the state of the building, but the rental agency didn't care. Shame I can't name them.
