World Cup Fever
Spain
05:00am 09 Jul 2010 So the final. Mouth watering on paper but likely to be pretty dull in reality.
On the house
05:00pm 29 Jul 2010 "It's because I'm gay." Those four words haunted Labour MP Chris Carter's career in politics; the catch-all excuse for the sometimes extraordinarily vain and arrogant behaviour of the MP for Te Atatu. Carter seemed to think the media's supposed obsession with his sexuality was the reason journalists pursued him down corridors. In reality, reporters didn't give a hoot about which team Carter batted for. The story was always the Labour MP's erratic behaviour and often cavalier attitude to public money.

08:50am 13 Jul 2010 I suppose it was inevitable that someone would blame the police for the death of the passenger in the Mitsubishi that crashed in Christchurch at the weekend.

01:30pm 26 Jul 2010 Inception is the film title on everyone's lips at the moment, and for good reason.
Blog: The Hit List
10:02am 30 Jul 2010 1. Trailer: Tron: Legacy : This is the first of many trailers for upcoming films that screened at Comic Con that you're going to be hit over the head with today. Get ready for your second high-tech cyborg adventure of a lifetime on December 16.
Blog: Game Junkie
12:30pm 30 Jul 2010 We've discussed this before on Game Junkie but I found this great read today via Kotaku where the writer echoes feelings that many of us probably feel as we get older: at what point do we have to reduce the amount of time we play video games?
Lady in the Red
09:47am 29 Jul 2010 I had a salami sandwich for dinner last night.
Campaign Chatter
01:00pm 28 Jul 2010 From the sound of things , a few of you aren't all that happy with your options this election.
The Film Locker
05:00am 31 Jul 2010 Once Upon a Time in the West is a massive film. You should take this opportunity at the film festival to see this beautifully flawed masterpiece on Christchurch's biggest screen.
Sweet As
05:00am 28 Jul 2010 Scribe and the Natural Glow Ho Somebody poke out my eyes, for I have just watched the most vile thing on YouTube.
Weather With You
08:27pm 06 Jun 2010 I'm ashamed to admit it after my last posting, in which I positively welcomed bad weather, but I'm almost fed up with the cold, the rain and the almost permanent lid of thick cloud.
PG (Parental Guidance Advised)
08:28am 19 Jul 2010 What goes "suck... suck suck... snerk... schlerk snerk... schlup pant-pant-pant"? A thumb-sucking ten-month old with a blocked nose. We're in yet another round of colds and poor Miss Vieve is most unhappy about having to breathe through her mouth.

Peter, I can’t believe that you honestly think people take you seriously. While you may genuinely think you could be the next Mayor, I actually believe you have shown to have a hidden talent, which could be better suited for you to be a clown. Perhaps, rather than continuing to chase the mayoralty of Christchurch, you should try out the next time a circus visiting Christchurch, is auditioning for local talent.
Given that each voter will get the 150 words anything can happen in elections with turnout. I hope to be the next Mayor. Peter Wakeman
Julie, sometimes it pays to keep things simple, as yet I do not support either leading contender.
But look at what people don't like (or do like) about BOB and I'll let you reply about what people don't like about JIM:
Don't Like 1. No or little consultation 2. Spending $17m on buildings from his mate David Henderson 3. Poor record for revitalisation of inner city 4. Hidden agenda's and too much behind close door decision makeing
Do Like 1. No cruise zone (hasn't cured the problem, just moved it) 2. Kept rates rises down (but still rising to almost 4%)
your reply to be balanced if you can.

This is easy.
Someone tell Jim to go and prune the roses and enjoy some time out of public gaze, before he's pushing up roses.
Someone give Vicki Buck a call, see what she's up to. I'll even make her cups of tea from the new side office that Bob's ear marked for his wife.
