Horace the talking horse

The Auckland Fruit Loop Society held its Xmas bash yesterday and decided that nothing could be more festive than a day spent at the Eden Park Upgrade RMA hearing. The opening skit was by a bloke saying the facility shouldn't be built because he would be unable dry his baby's nappies for three years because of construction dust. But this was just a curtain raiser for the main act, a guest appearance from an expert. She opined that the upgrade will be a health hazrad as the increased shadows cast by a larger stadium will result in decreased vitamin D absorption in local residents. The Society was a little disappointed that the bearded lady and Horace the talking horse could not attend.
You'll all be pleased to know that I've solved global warming. The Herald gives us the answer today. We need a nuclear war. Not a very big one (Iran vs Iraq with Iran playing at home would do nicely - it's also a suitably long way from NZ) but a nuclear conflagration is required. This will result in a 'catastrophic' period of global cooling - or so some experts would have us believe. Sounds good to me - bring it on.
