Spectacular Ocean & Beach Views

Had to laugh ay the sign at the Beach Front Cafe that declares “Spectacular Ocean & Beach Views”

Rhys Darby in Rwanda

Funny man Rhys Darby travelled to Rwanda for a recent episode of TVNZ’s Intrepid Journeys (and took a piece of Waiheke with him)

The Cynic is glad to see that common sense has prevailed and that the speed limit on Onetangi Rd (aka Onetangi Straight) will remain at 80.

Certainly not enjoying the number of dropped calls on the new Telecom XT network. I have not experienced call losses like this since the start of BellSouth. Coverage is worse both where I work and where I live.  I guess when it is this crap it can only improve. Heres hoping. Stand by for more details.

Noted with amusement the Marketplace announced “Waiheke Does It Better” seeks judicial revue. Will they be holding it at Artworks Theatre?

To everyone involved in Transition Town initiatives- Waiheke’s loss is everyone’s loss. Now is the time to show the strength of the Transition Town community.

If we can’t save a recycling programme from local government then all of our initiatives are in danger of being taken away by the whim of council officers who have not come to grips with the pressing realities we are up against. We must stand together to preserve this resource. Please pass this on and make plans to meet us at Auckland Town Hall at 9:30am, Thursday, 11 June. If you can’t make it to Town Hall please take the time to visit the Waiheke Does It Better website for phone numbers/emails to let council know it is up against all of New Zealand, not just a small island.

Please, before it is too late, make Transition Towns’ presence heard on this issue. Phone or email today or show up on Thursday.

So whether it was Jim or John, someone has been muckin in on Waiheke, and doing a damn good job of it too by all accounts.

What has happened to Nobby? no blog posts, no letters to the Gulf News, where are you?
