The Hornet's Nest

Woohoo. We've just been informed that we don't have to boil our drinking water any more!

 

That's good news NZ. Just how will all of the rebuilding and infrastucture be financed?

Final Score: Well there wasn't any.

 

Insurance and the government. So with Japan, worldwide insurance premiums are set to increase. Sorry about that.

 

goodness it's quiet tonight! Norway must be offline! lol

Good news NZ

 

This gives a sporting (?) view of how life goes on in Christchurch

Morning all (or afternoon/evening to NZ), getting the red-eye bus to the airport in about half an hour, leaving in about 10 mins to get there, then on the first flight to Gatwick. Being woken by seagulls who are nesting on one of the rooftops nearby doesn't help. If any of you in the Rookery this afternoon see someone 5' 5" tall in an away shirt looking tired, it's probably me. I return to the island tomorrow afternoon, so this is my last post until I return.

 

I was sure I would be first up this morning, but beaten to it.

My progress to the UK is likely to be a little slower seeing as I am driving. Looks as if I will be struggling to keep up with the match this afternoon seeing as my technology is only one step up from a couple of semaphore flags.

Enjoy the game jsybaz, I hope it is the right result for us all.

 

Morning all safe journey to all travelling!
NZ great video those kids are talented !!! Glad you got clean water again! On a positive note I see theyre playing rugby at the AMI again which means the structural concerns of the stadium must be acceptable!
Just thinking of the vid again to find positives after that kind of disaster ,It is very re assuring to see the way that the Cch people have got back to some sort of normality!

 

Go `saders` 14-0 v the Bulls HT

 

Good video NZ - glad things are beginning to get back to normal - and the water is back


.... and like Norway I send good wishes to all travelling today

 

Norway, the Crusaders are playing in Timaru. AMI is still shut.

 

Morning all - Beautiful morning in bandit country. Just getting ready to drive down to gods country - need to get some shopping as well . Had a brilliant night at Faithless , got in at 02.30 this morning - we had to get my mates son to drive down and pick us up as there were no tube or trains at 01.00 !!!

 

Good Morning All

Great vid NZ, glad things are getting there!! Was in Christchurch for the Lions tour in '05. Had a few beers in bar that had a little stadium in front of the big screen... Possibly the Holy Grail, if I remember rightly, and a few after-game drinks in an Irish bar...

 

Oh ok thanks for that NZ SSN said the game was at Christchurch!!! So I was hoping! least they won 27-0 and are top of the table for a couple of hours!

 

Who`s betting on the National and who are you going for?

 

Afternoon all ...had my Saturday training walk today, so i'm wide awake and raring to get to Vicarage Road, leaving in 20 mins . It's so gorgeous out there, just ripe for a Hornet win

Have a great day all!

 

Kev, if The Holy Grail is still standing I'll be amazed. We aren't allowed in that part of the city yet

 

Hello, yorkshire, I'm in sunny Leeds! Bit Brahms, in a Wetherspoons opp a big screen. No idea where I am. On a stag do.

 

Good afternoon all. i think i'm in need of a drink. Gin and orange, pretty please Ak.

 

Have one on me Hornette as I think Ak is on his travels I will join you with a View attachment 1948 to drown our sorrows
