Swastikas painted outside synagogue

"It leaves our members feeling vulnerable and insecure," a member of the Jewish community says.


I’m back in the Scania over the next few nights and it’s interesting to note the differences between this and the Volvo B11. Both have their pros and cons.


Seeing others posting their 10 year comparison pics piqued my interest. I don’t usually play along, but in this case ...


What a total and complete plonker. nzh.tw/12295954


Heading up to the land of summer today. The green br is what I’m driving today. The red one is what I was driving when I worked for NZRRS in 1988!


I’ve got terrible news for these residents. Where do you think they live now? “Some residents were angry because they did not believe former prisoners should live in... i.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/…

Ok, cos some have asked here’s a brief life update: The election was nearly two weeks ago - I lost. I proposed to Karen on election night in the very public way she wanted (video below) - she said yes. I’m... facebook.com/10000043964249…


Quarter of a century ago I had the huge privilege and challenge of being the Managing Director of Christian Broadcasting - an amazing organisation started in 1969 by John Hawkes y and an amazing group of volunteers. Tonight we celebrated 50 years of CBA.


Wellington’s turn today. #hail #brrrrr
