Covid Updates
Hey Tel .. Re: replies to Vernon & myself, I like your normally considered remarks and will continue to read, but there are times when even the best of us inadvertently shoot ourselves in the walking things. Though merely having what I hope is a 'commonsense education' I deemed it only fair to be of help when even "scientific education" can slip a little .. as is well known. Maybe a reread of the "Covid Updates" post (from the bottom up) could help perspective a little. Not being a jibe at our leader at all (probably misrepresented incorrectly by advisors) .. again ? .. hmmm. Now just to clear up my initial comment which you seem to take abeyance with, it was not (though possibly could/should?. have been,non ?) a personal attack, merely an old joke that began being used on car salesmen .. (oops, and women), realtors, insurance salespeople, lawyers, etc. Oops again … AND politicians,of course .. no matter their ilk, haha ! Please don't take this as an apology mate, just .. ah .. commonsense, and in case you didn't know the answer :-- "their lips move " .. cheers …. but remember, " I may not agree, but I will defend ……. etc,etc

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
