DOES SKY BOX REACH FOR THE STARS

Michael from Trentham

New Sky boxes coming my way as replacements. They are valued at $200 each.

Sky Tv rate them as a great step forward.

Lots of TV viewers must have the new model by now, so how much of an improvement are they really?

I had time for Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau at the onset. She was a little vivacious and it could have suited Wellington in its quest for revitalisation.
But I must admit that after a couple of years she has proven a disaster. Her dour male opponents for the mayoralty at the last elections would probably have fared better.
The job has gotten the better of her because she was so utterly ill-prepared. And I believe the ship will never be righted.

Wellington city should be fast tracking towards one city for the region but the Wellington Mayor is unable and unwilling to spearhead such a move.
Porirua, Lower Hutt, Kapiti and Upper Hutt all have very capable Mayors but the more populous Wellington with its huge financial difficulties and multiple issues needs the most sharpest minded, bipartisan, fast-out-of- the-blocks Mayor of all. And it just hasn't got it.

Blue Mountains Campus in Wallaceviĺle is snail pacing its tenancy but not by design.
The Panasonic regional office is relocating to the campus which brings the tenancy to four.organisations plus a cafe.

It has been expected that TransDec would relocate a lot of its operation from Wellington Railway Station to BMC .but maybe financial restraints have derailed the move.

Meanwhile stages 2 and 3 of the campus have been put back perhaps a year or two for completion.

NOT CALLED INTO ALL BLACKS SQUAD

Michael from Trentham

The reasons why Hoskins Sotutu and Shaun Stevenson are not in Scot Robertson's ABs is that they, along with some other prominent fringe players, unfortunately have character issues. Of those mentioned, one is inclined to give away too many penalties and the other can be rather easily … View moreThe reasons why Hoskins Sotutu and Shaun Stevenson are not in Scot Robertson's ABs is that they, along with some other prominent fringe players, unfortunately have character issues.
