Millions wasting their time trying to get fit, says study
Apparently exercise is a complete waste of time for about 20% of the population. Of course, that means for 80% of New Zealanders it is every bit as good for you as doctors have been making out. However, [...]
The Herald is running this demented campaign at the moment to change the New Zealand flag. Clearly, anyone with a halfway-decent-functioning brain cell would realise that the best time to design a new flag would be if and when we decide to become a republic.

Yes, It is the time for reviews of the past year, the perennial favorite of tired journalists the world over. Like me, they knocked this together in mid-December and timed it to drop into whatever publication they owed a column to. Just as I did last year, I thought you might like to have a [...]
You may have already made them or you might make them today. New year’s resolutions. You will probably regret making them sometime within the next week or two. There will be lashings of guilt and outpourings of frustration. Fortunes will be spent on pointless Gym memberships. Garages will be filled with unused gym equipment. Your [...]
As we approach the New Year and my 1000th blog post (which will be sometime in January), allow me a moment of introspection.
