Nats chilly on Hutt train-building
- 30 Jul 2008
- Petone Herald
- Will Nats slam door on train-building boost for Hutt? A $200,000 report on the feasibility of building locomotives in Woburn might get buried if National gains power in this year’s elections. Finance Minister Michael Cullen announced the report last week as part of an $80 million package upgrading the re-nationalised rail service.

- This week has been birthday week in the Enright household. In a period of four days, we have celebrated the birthdays of three of our daughters!

- 27 Jul 2008
- Island Bay United AFC
- Up 1-0 within 2 minutes, only to be 2-1 down at half-time and absolutely thrashed 8-3 at the end of 90 minutes by a waterside team desperate to stay up, and who's commitment to that task coupled with some great touches constantly overpowered our midfield and defense.

SAREX Makara South Coast Exercise July 26-27 2008
- 27 Jul 2008
- Wellington VHF Group
- This was a weekend SAREX designed to test comms on the South Coast, as well as the ability of the teams to handle the conditions! And with the "10 Year Storm" going on, it was a test. A lot of work had gone in over the week before to get the new cross band repeaters built, as you would have read in Q-Bit. These were installed on Mt Misery on the Saturday morning. The base was set up and the teams dispatched. We did a HF radio test with a Pulsar, and learnt a few things about getting wet. read more

Talking 'bout the weather
- 23 Jul 2008
- The Wellingtonista
- Apparently all hell is breaking loose in the Hutt: rumours of heavy rain warnings abound, and messages are going around offices advising people living in Eastbourne to head home NOW. Certainly the radar shows some nasty stuff around, the result of the southerly making its way northwards, and the rainfall sensors and stream flows are starting to pick up. If anything dramatic starts to happen, do let us all know!

Farewell to this land’s cheerless marshes
- 23 Jul 2008
- Karori Slapperz AFC
- In true Wellington Council style, the games that they should axe go ahead and visa versa, so it was with no surprise that following torrential rain on Friday night and Saturday morning we’d be playing. Now I ain’t grumbling about it, cos we ain’t played since 26th June and anymore cancellations means that we have to play ‘double headers’ (Saturdays and Sundays). So I was as happy as an octopus with sixteen legs and given the state of the water on the park, maybe being a cephalopod would have faired well.

- Eye of the Fish
- In what appears to be one of Wellington’s more anticipated restaurant openings for years, a branch of the international noodle bar Wagamama has opened in the Meridian building, and already queues are forming out the door: indeed, breaking all Australasian records for turnover in a first week, despite it being the middle of a very bleak winter. It evidently has been a phenomenal success.
