Don't worry mate , you're not alone, I missed it too. I expect you were a bit like me, too engrossed in trying to find your soulmate and the masterchef recap 😝 .

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

An RNZ article ostensibly about a new portrait of the Queen has a photo captioned "The Queen's new portrait". They've cropped about 60% of it out.

A friend of ours has a canned response if you ask him what he’s been doing since you last saw him.

“Sh*t and stuff”.

I think they left some words off the new logo…!

Gotta love Auckland journos who get back an OIA the contains a "secret story" about something happening in the South Island..

Here's todays example

"Costco Wholesale's second $100m NZ store: Secret Government briefing paper reveals details"

"Now, a secret Government briefing paper has disclosed the potential location of the second store and what affect Costco's expansion could have on our grocery market"

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/costco-wholesales-second-100m-nz-store-secret-government-briefing-paper-reveals-details/H3QSB2DZBARMTLLEZCWB4OG62I/

Or the could have done a google search and found this article from 6 months ago

" Selwyn District Council planning manager Ben Rhodes has confirmed the details. "A resource consent has been granted for Costco, as a large format membership warehouse outlet, in Iport," he said. "

I am more interested to understand how a journalist wouldn't know the difference between affect and effect.

"Clover Park Gang" gang pad? Some amazing feat? Nope. Clover Park is just a suburb in South Auckland, so it makes sense the bullet originated there.

Today's one is from One roof here

Headline:
"House prices take a bath in the property price ‘bath tub’"

Quote from story:

"The nationwide average property value fell 0.8% in May, according to CoreLogic’s latest figures."

I guess the joke is on me for clicking, but honestly
I'm not sure the English language will have sufficient words for them to express an actual 15% drop.

From the five-minute quiz in today's DomPost.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

I believe American English considers those interchangeable.

I like the new logo and Stuff's new splash is significantly faster.
