Stuff, reporting on Rally NZ:



I agree, reporting top-notch sports news does take more than just a keyboard. It also takes knowledge of the English language, & most often requires a proof-reader & an editor to sign off before publishing. Obviously Stuff have none of those.

Not corrected yet!

 

Still showing the new Supermarket Chain: "To help fight inflation, back in August we rolled back the prices of many key products to 2021 prices at our Psk'nSave and New World stores. The rollback list includes staples we know New Zealanders want in their shopping basket, including bread, butter and block cheese," she said.

"Dramatic" What? (I know it says it further down....but omit to say what twice in the first two sentences!)

No wonder 35,000 Tourists are waiting on Visas to Enter New Zealand - as reported by Stuff, Immigration NZ are working to increase visa processing times. Although to be fair, this may have been a direct quote from Immigration NZ themselves:

Newshub 7 Oct 22 (Online and in 4.30 TV bulletin)

 

Driver’s lucky escape after hybrid vehicle goes up in flames.

 

Article spent a lot of time talking about LiIon batteries and the danger of “battery thermal runaway” including comments from FE staff. However the fire was under the bonnet and most of the fire damage seemed to be the plastic engine covers.

 

The high voltage traction battery of the Mercedes C350E is in the boot and when they showed it, it was completely unscathed. It would appear that the fact it was a hybrid was irrelevant.

Story in NZH today regarding the Mad Butcher, Peter Leitch, and his stolen collection of sports jerseys:

 

“ …. sportspeople … have gifted him many match worn and singed [sic] items over the years. He said he had never bought a jersey "in my life". As well as those given to him, he had also previously purchased some at auctions.“

 

No wonder he’s a bit browned off. Plus they seem confused as to whether or not he’s ever paid for gear.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Is there a picture of this building-damaging cat? If so, I'm still likely to click on this headline.

As I read it, neither. The cat was rescued from a (perhaps undamaged) building but then injured by Ukrainian emergency workers during a drone attack.
