Corgi Racing Lining Up

Michael from Trentham

It's quirky and its unique - third annual Black Hawk Wellington Corgi Races will be staged at the Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt on Saturday, December 4 with the first heat starting at 2pm.

Anyone can enter their pure bred Pembroke or Cardigan Corgi from anywhere and in this fun event not necessarily the fastest Corgi over the 60 metres wins.

Generous prizes for the first three in the final but every Corgi lining up in the heats gets Black Hawk gifts.

ENTRY IS FREE.

Last year there were around 300 spectators with 23 Corgis at the starting blocks..
Covid protocols will be observed.
Media interest is assured.

Corgis with an uncontrollable adverse attitude issue should not be entered.

Black Hawk is premium dry (kibble), wet (canned) and treats dog food products made in Australia and NZ.

If weather is lousy, Sunday is the reserve day.

The event is organised by Wellington Welsh Corgi Club which among other activities has monthly Corgi meet-ups.

Enter your Corgi/s ahead of December 4 by emailing: mjromanosnz@gmail.com

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.
