Trentham Racecourse Overhaul
So in around 5-7 years we can expect the retention of the historical, famous racecourse proper of the international size it is currently and has been for around 120 years but with a completely amazing remodeled "offcourse".
850 above average apartments within multistoried blocks, a hotel, a retail village including bars and cafe/restaurants, other entertainment and features as well as facilities compatible with racing are replacing the two old grandstands and the land inbetween and on the outers.
As a local I hope that the Kiwi Rail-promised walkway from the Wallaceville Estate to the Trentham Railway Station and thus also the new racecourse complex, will finally be constructed. A walk to all of this on a good day would be right up my alley.
Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
