Save Our Spur!

Forest & Bird Upper Hutt - Save Our Hills - Silverstream Railway Heritage Railway invites you to join the fight to Save Our Spur!

The Silverstream Spur, an area of undeveloped public land containing pine forest and regenerating native forest, is in danger of being literally given away for private development.

Come along to learn about why we think it is important to keep the Spur in public ownership, what you should know about the development proposal and what you can do to save your Spur.

Tuesday 6th July 7pm - 8:30pm, Silverstream School Hall.

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?

Same Again Dan

Michael from Trentham

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.
