I learnt something interesting: the reason so many planes are being cancelled in and out of Wellington in the strong winds today isn’t anything to do with take off or landing; it’s that it’s dangerous to open the cargo doors for loading and unloading baggage

Even though I'm well acquainted with the setlist for this tour I'm still hoping to hear Lawnmower at Sparks tonight ✨

As a millennial of the vintage to have bought the CD single of the Beastie Boys' Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim remix) with my pocket money, I regret to advise that if I let the backbone flip I will certainly now slip a disc. When it comes to letting the spine unwind, I cannot take the risk.

I cried, also, morbid question, do you think NASA has tapped the last four Apollo astronauts for a bunch of these to reel out for future missions... Not that I couldn't listen to Charlie Duke talk all day

My personal Mandela Effect is that the first song on Garageland's Do What You Want is Trashcans and the album doesn't have Love Song on it. I've listened to the album four thousand times so I think I would know.

I tell you what, I was floored recently when I got bronchitis and the consulting physician said "you get bronchitis quite a lot, did your parents smoke?" Yes they did. "Well, you've probably got lung damage." I mean you know about secondhand smoke but you don't KNOW about it until you do.

I've been paying a lot of attention to the terrorist's appeal hearing this week because I work near the Court of Appeal, and have been appalled at the security measures necessary to protect the people who need to be in court. I think Ahad Nabi continues to speak for us all

The Court of Appeal had so many police there yesterday to protect families of the mosque attacks. As a politically neutral public servant I've fully considered the remark I'm about to make which is that the terrorist should be ignored forever and live a life of only bad things.

Look, did a bunch of us organise to have a pro Māori wards billboard on the same sign Hobson’s Pledge put their bullshit? Absolutely. Did we all put our names to it cause we're community leaders staunch in our position? Absolutely.

For a while there you only saw the young 'uns vaping, but now I'm seeing them smoking actual cigarettes again. Not durries either, the expensive ones. Where are the young people getting this kind of capital?

There's a new bar opening in our street, which I'm excited for, and I lodged an objection with the council about the hours in their licensing application. I was surprised that the council sent the submissions to the applicant without contact info redacted, and CCed us all in on the same thread (1/2)
