Cossie Glamours Up

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt Cossie Club is the biggest and best of its kind in NZ already and it is taking a step further with the advent of a new sumptuous facility within its complex.

Part of the interior has been turned into a large separated cafe-bar with beautiful wooden features, low ceiling, comfortable saloon type seating mixed with others, huge state-of-the-art kitchen and a free computerised touch selection of background music/songs dating from the fifties to 2022 complete with a large screen relating to the musical choice.

This cafe-bar features not only cafe-style meals but a wide selection of craft beer, most of it brewed in Upper Hutt's famous Brewtown.

It is ready to go.

The only issue is sufficient staffing. Jobs are available to get this "room" full steam ahead and occupied.

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.

I'm sure you've seen it while doing your weekly shop... In fact, it may have even been you.

What do you think about people heading to the supermarket in their pyjamas?
