Imagine if you will, that we still had a DSIR instead of the duplication and atomisation of the CRIs. Not that CSIRO hasn't struggled the last few decades. But they still had an awesome science museum!

Bad convenience store felafel at the start of my one hour drive home. I emailed the company CEO, got an "I will look into it", but he never sent the vouchers he promised. Dick.

Would love the two vaguely serious northern Councils to take note of this and for the sake of their communities, not just bend over backwards to comply with central govt. I mean, Kaipara is write-off but Far North and Whangarei DCs should take note.

So gross. Tim Molloy was our Dr until the practice expanded. He seemed like an old man then but he was probably thirty when I first went to him at the old clinic on the other side of the highway from where it is now. Lolsob.

Headhunters and Methmm.or was it Highway 69? Anyway it was a fuggy bunghole 91-95. Great doctors and wontons at the Chinese though. Big sweet buns at the bakery. That's it, the only reason God didn't Sodom and Gomorrah it.

I would imagine the last few years since some of the long-term senior staff in that office bumped up the greasy pole or left. I mean, when an old fullah has to go home, he has to go home but I feel like the old hands wouldn't have let it get to this.
