So cool that the @GiantsNZNBL are celebrating 30 Years since their first championship - what a time for Nelson fans! Dug into the cupboard to find a ‘94 programme and some tickets @nznbl

Hey @manawatujets - your Red Badge security person just told my 5 and 3 yr old boys they couldn’t dance and play in front of our seats (right in the corner out of a thoroughfare) Might need to have a word to the fun police or they might not want to come back!!

200 in an Aus ODI under lights is always a tough chase. NZ will want John Wright to bat for 35 overs and Geoff Howarth to maybe get a quick 40-odd off 70 balls before Coney/Hadlee/Cairns get them home …

Kia Ora to all in Aotearoa New Zealand. Here is one of the clearest views we've seen of Mount Taranaki / Egmont National Park. The live view was captured at 10:06 NZST this morning (a few minutes ago) from 433km up. May 12, 2022 @Space_Station @MetService

Is this what we are? After all she has lead us through, March 15, Covid, everything - and we’re going to elect a vacuous business man who offers a tax cut of a few dollars a week in her place? That is shameful - surely we’re better than that?

With 18 games left to play, Steven Adams already has the 4th highest offensive rebounds total in a single season of any Grizzly all time. Zach Randolph holds the 3 spots above him. To set the all time franchise record, Adams needs 54 more (3 per game). Adams is avging 4.6 pg

I wonder if any doctors/medical centres have ever thought about having on-site barber/hair stylist so those who need a cut can make use of the time in the waiting room
