A beautiful thing!

Now look, I hope you don’t think that this is really my thing of beauty but I feel duty bound to point out to readers that yes, it’s true, Coventry FC are currently sitting at the top of the League. It makes MT happy so that’s all that matters – enjoy all you CCFC supporters………

Opphs, they did it again!

After all the hype it’s over with the kiwis losing the America’s Cup again. The post loss PR is well underway with the Government justifying the $32 million they invested into the team and pledging another $10m to keep the team together on the grounds that it’s been a showcase for NZ trade and industry.

One step closer to bringing the cup home

There’s much excitement in kiwi land as Team New Zealand swept to victory in the Louis Vuitton Cup. It’s hard not to imagine the big prize coming home and we don’t want to tempt fate so perhaps it might be better to just wear the lucky teashirt and hope that the boys don’t have any [...]

At last domestic footie in NZ

After much speculation, trials and tribulations professional soccer is coming to Wellington. They will be competing in the Australian A-League replacing the defunct New Zealand Knights FC who played out of Auckland. It was touch and go whether they’d win the franchise but after a rich Wellingtonian Terry Serepisos stuck his hand in his pocket [...]

3-0, way to go!

I couldn’t help but smile

What better way to end the week than watching the kiwis trounce the ozzies at cricket. For the first time in 646 one day internationals them from across the tasman were beaten by 10 wickets. I was up for a late night out watching a close game but the Black Caps firmly put the visitors [...]

When rugby turns to party

Whilst Jonny was into winning ways in the Six Nations, Wellington has been invaded this weekend by the annual International Rugby Sevens Competition. Held at the caketin there are 34,500 people all cheering their favourite team (not)! In reality, the caketin becomes the biggest party venue in NZ with everyone using it as an excuse [...]

City of sales

This weekend I’ve been putting in more hard yards but this time on the high street in the city of sales. Ophs, I mean the City of Sails. Yes, I decided to set aside my prejudice of Auckland and try some rest and relaxation in the company of Naomi. A girlie weekend unencumbered by him [...]

Divided house

High excitement with the big rugby match to watch – not quite the same when the first thing you hear in the morning is the result. Although I’m not such a dedicated rugby fan to get up at 4am to watch the match live, it was fun watching the re-run tonight. Only problem was I [...]
