I suppose any actors living here would call it the Scottish place.

@simonbwilson @NZGreens @actparty @nzherald Powerful stuff. Thank you. Hope it makes my brother-in-law think again.

From what to do about youth crime to the climate, the gap between @NZGreens and @actparty is widening. My column today @nzherald premium and paper nzherald.co.nz/nz/simon-wilso…

@kirsty_johnston Train to Puhinui and link bus to airport (and vice versa) is the cheapest method. Takes an hour but frequent, reliable and relaxing.

Auckland: is the skybus a thing again yet or are we still on the Ubers?

First time I’ve read that sentence. Probably not the last.

I’m so old I can remember when interviewees didn’t automatically begin (actually delay) every answer by saying “That’s a very good question”.

Typed 20% into my search engine and the first suggestion that popped up was ‘20% of 100’. Maths teachers, for shame!

@sarajcox As a grown woman, 9 years ago, I decided to stick my finger into the cage of an eclectus parrot in Queensland. It bit it so hard that I yelped, and only let go when I blew in its face. My finger has tingled intermittently ever since. It’s tingling now.

Please tell me about the time you stuck your finger somewhere & it backfired. Could’ve been into a hamster cage where it was promptly bitten, into a flame whilst showing off, into a blocked hose/machine or a childhood friend’s ear. TALES OF POKING A FINGER SOMEWHERE please? 😅

The perils of touch-typing: pines just came out as pubes. Disconcerting.

Do more (relatively) big names really die over New Year, or is it just that there’s not much other news to report?

If you hear ‘two and six’ and think money instead of eight, you’re old.

English teacher’s instructions for the reliever. No comment.

First swim of the season today. Very nice, but told the buoy not to hold its breath till it saw me again - then remembered that that’s its sole purpose in life.

Damn. I’m guessing 45 days weren’t enough for this?

Posted 22 December 2021. Delivered today, 23 September 2022. People have conceived and given birth in that time. Anything to say, ⁦@nzpost⁩ ?

@AmeliaJWade Snort. Also, I reckon that counts as a 2 degrees for me, so merci beaucoup

Got winked at today.

Starting young…

Well, that’s Wordle for you…

Yes, yes, all that. But how will we pedants cope with general panic over making Charles possessive?

@Donna_Chisholm Same. One of the team messaged ‘Long live the king’ and I thought he was claiming success

Enduringly sad that when asked in future what I was doing when I heard the Queen had died, I will have to say “Wordle”.

@mimismartypants Amsterdam Handbag Museum! Properly amazing

In which I think I have deep thoughts or something and it is probably annoying mimismartypants.com/2022/09/06/she…
