Old man yells at clouds.

Hey everyone! So something worth mentioning finally happened, and no, it's not Code of Conduct bu****it! Have a listen to what I think about the data center out at Makarewa, and if you've got a question, pop into the comments.

31/12/2025

Hey everyone! So I've been asked a lot about the lack of Christmas lights up in town. Well, I've got bad news and more bad news about that...

23/12/2025

Hey everyone! If you're wondering what our Mayoral candidates spent on their campaigns, I have the numbers and it was not quite what I was expecting...

12/12/2025

Hey everyone! Today I'm ranting about nitrates and the Gore District Council, and why you don't want either of them near a drinking water supply.

07/12/2025

Hey everyone! Bit longer than usual but there's a lot going on, so bare with me here. Trees, trains, silence, stupid ideas; and something that fascinates me is coming!

30/11/2025

Hey everyone! So misinformation is up to its old tricks, and I like trains so this needs correcting! The Mainlander from Christchurch to Invercargill and return is coming in January (link in the comments).

28/11/2025

Hey everyone! There's a lot going on, so the Briscoes building (again), the Tuatarium (again), the new museum car park, and what do we do about the Queens Drive trees?

25/11/2025

Hey everyone! So we've got the numbers about where our rubbish and recycling service is heading, and out of town arborists are still a non-issue, but it needs addressed. Again.

20/11/2025

Hey everyone! So we've got the initial bill for the storm damage, and it's only an unbudgeted $2.4 million - so far.

This could be a game changer, so let's see what the Council's insurers have to say about covering Acts of God 🤔

14/11/2025

Hey everyone! So Councillor remuneration has been in the news and nobody really gets it, so let your favourite local curmudgeon have a crack at explaining what's going on. Cheers!

10/11/2025

Hey everyone! Back in the saddle with a quick explainer before we go into using Christchurch contractors to clean up the city, and the $100,000 ICC fireworks display tomorrow afternoon!
