A stadium bereft of purpose.
Ozymandias-like (and -lite) it fixes in time the year the fifth National Government began laying waste to New Zealand (using the numeric notation of another failed empire).
Little Pom’s is just phenomenally popular, every day.
Also there isn't really another cafe worth the name north or east of there...
(aside from Ris'tretto at the top of Barbadoes street and then whatever The Palms offers, and maybe Under the Red Verandah on Tancred st Worcester street cnr).

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
Wow, that is a great article by McCrone.
It runs over 3 pages (including striking cover) in the Mainland section of the Press - one for your scrapbook - sing out if you want a hard copy posted up.

Speaker: A Disorderly Brexit, in reply to simon g,
“What a catalyst you turned out to be. ...”
What ho? What if?Hello-Hurray - it's the price to pay to the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - I'd prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles, Eton RiflesInteresting to see that Stephen Frears and Michael Seresin both worked on If
(Spoiler - the guns start at 1:38:00) -
Polity: English canards, in reply to Kumara Republic,
surrounded with hedges decorated with razor wire
He always struck me as the mined ha-ha sort.

Great gimbling Slytherin toves!
Or is it just that the UK is going through a 'bad spell'?

I can detect strong whiffs of 'Confundus', 'Flipendo', 'Expulso ', 'Stupefy ' and 'Obliviate'!
They desperately need a 'Reparo' and 'Ennervate ' cast soon!

truly Poe-faced?
I note that the National Party Drama Society are rehearsing their play ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ at the Chateau on the Park in Chchch at dusk this evening (July 1st)The story takes place at the castellated abbey of the “happy and dauntless and sagacious” Prince Prospero. Prospero and 1,000 other nobles have taken refuge in this walled abbey to escape the Red Death, a terrible plague with gruesome symptoms that has swept over the land. Victims are overcome by “sharp pains”, “sudden dizziness”, and hematidrosis, and die within half an hour. Prospero and his court are indifferent to the sufferings of the population at large; they intend to await the end of the plague in luxury and safety behind the walls of their secure refuge, having welded the doors shut.

;- )Interesting to note this is only National’s 80th annual conference, while this is The Labour Party’s Centenary Year – a light they seem hellbent on hiding under a bushel – all we have to show for it is this very relevant tea towel – they are gonna need more than this to clean up at the next election!!

Speaker: A Disorderly Brexit, in reply to nzlemming,
the faraway Farage farrago...
the Bullingdon playbook: you break it and someone else has to fix it.
...and Johnson does look like someone who "has never had a 'real job' in his life"
- Who's laughing now? -
Now we know what happens when a 'car-chasing dog' catches one...
- Boris Johnson has backed off running for the Tory leader/Prime Minister position
http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/81646189/Boris-Johnson-I-have-decided-not-to-run-for-British-Prime-Minister
that saves the world from the possibility of two muppet lookalikes running two former great powers - UK avoids a BJ, but the USA may still get a case of the DTs... -
Sad news.
Gudrun was good people!
