Sheeran For A Million

Fabulous singer, songwriter Ed is coming knocking at your door next February - or at least starting his Australasian tour at Sky Stadium in Wellington.

Fabulous singer, songwriter Ed is coming knocking at your door next February - or at least starting his Australasian tour at Sky Stadium in Wellington.
So it is going to cost the paying public $200 (incl booking/cc fees) each to take it all in with Ed doing his stuff from centre of the footie field.
You can discount the other fewer and cheaper options as even the awe inspiring Sheeran is too small to see clearly from a distance - he is not a towering giant like a NBA basketball player nor a pudgy overweight AB rugby prop. Quite the opposite really.
Well, I suppose it is cheaper than taking in a major concert in Auckland for us Wellingtonians - when you total up airfares, accomodation, other travel costs, food plus the price of the show which not too long ago use to be around $100 less than Ed Sheeran's "minders" in Wellington are demanding.

Should Trentham Enter World War Three

Michael from Trentham

Yesterday, Russia bombing came within 7.5km (5 minutes vehicle travel time) of starting the third world war.

Yesterday, Russia bombing came within 7.5km (5 minutes vehicle travel time) of starting the third world war.

Russia who are not doing as well as it had anticipated, is tempted to use chemical warfare on the poor Ukrainians, a presumed red line action for the USA.

It must be noted that Russia and the USA have both used chemical weapons in previous wars on multiple occasions.

If NATO and Europe including of course in both instances the UK get into conflict with the Russians (and possibly the Chinese), should NZ go into battle as we have done in the first and second world wars?

DO we side with the Ukrainian who famously said:"Russian warship, go @%&* yourself" not only in words but in action. Or should we be like USA in the second world war and assist our allies in other ways than sending troops and only physically take part if attacked. I suppose Trentham army base will become a target which does not make the surrounding residential areas safe havens.

I wonder if there is any extra urgency at this juncture within the Trentham ranks.
