Our neighbour appears to have replaced his Maserati with an Aston Martin. It is very nice and sounds lovely. Electric would be faster and quieter, but it has a pleasant late 20th century technology burble all the same.

However we were somewhat distressed, on a little research, to find it's from 2018. His Rolls Royce is from 2016, it should be noted.

I mean, come on. You are either successful or not. You are putting the reputation of the neighbourhood under some pressure here. I might have to have words.

Golf courses are wasteful on more than 2 measures.

A non-controversial opinion direct from Chapter 7, Verse 3 of The Book of Dave.

I have never, not once, enjoyed flying to Wellington. Auckland airport, security and lounge, Koru (a zoo) or not, the attempted landing, the go around, the passenger beside me barfing, because the go around, the taxi into the city, getting out of the taxi to 9 degrees. Not a single bit of that is going to be better with another tunnel you National party dipshits.

Driving to Wellington though. Leaving Auckland at 4:30am to missing the traffic, Waikato in thick fog, so many choices from there, SH1 all the way, SH3, SH39, SH32, SH4, SH43 even, SH54, SH4 and be there at 2:30pm with a stupid grin on your face from so many corners...

And that;s without your dumb roads of national significance. Don't remove the corners, that's all we have left to enjoy in our lives
