BITS AND BOBS

We have been enjoying some wild and wicked weather in Tauranga where the Aussie Rock has a bit of a bach near the beach at the Mount.

When it was fine it was splendid but the torrential rain out did the sunbeams today. For all that Tauranga and the Mount are wonderful places to visit.

We are now back in Wellington and are off to Zico's with Spaz and his angel wife.

So we have had a quick scoot round the blogs and MacDoctor has the funniest post on Sue Bradfords departure from the Greens. We agree with his sentiments entirely.

And the Australian is breathless in their admiration for Key's decision to appear on Letterman. We initially thought it was dumb. But as someone who has lived in the USA pointed out, Key's self effacing corniness would have gone down a treat there. Its their sort of humour. However we also agree with Fran O'Sullivan - we cannot lose sight of the serious stuff either. Perhaps an armchair interview on Close Up, or even the Sunday programme to talk about the serious stuff and why it matters to New Zealanders. It would be good to give it some context that a quick flick on the 6pm news cant give.


And are we the only person who is going to fess up and say they dont understand what the hell John Key's comments about having the loosest slot machines really means?

WINNIE GONE???

I never like counting my chickens before they hatch but I am sure I can hear them pecking at their shells after TVNZ's poll tonight has Winston on 28% electorate and 5% party vote in Tauranga...

We hope we here at Roarprawn can hold our collective breaths till next Saturday night.

WINNIE TELLING PORKIES

Winston has been using his blog to explain that he doesn put up lots of billboard because they get vandalised. He is right, they do, because everyone thinks he is lying tosser but the other reason we hear is, that his campaign team in Tauranga has collapsed.
