Safety first: Spot the missing lifejackets
|
A TRAINSPOTTER notes that these two canoers, pictured in the new Frankton McDonald’s, aren’t wearing lifejackets.
AN INSERT magazine in the latest Sunday Star-Times refers to the Earnslaw as “a 150-year-old steamship”. She’s still got almost two years to go before she hits the century.
THE CROWNE Plaza had a couple of pretty high-flying guests this week. Staying Monday night were both Prime Minister John Key and All Black captain Richie McCaw. They were guests of a lavish dinner under marquee in the Gardens hosted by Air New Zealand for the Star Alliance CEO conference.
IN HIS pre-dinner speech, Key personally apologised to 11,000 Americans for not picking them up when they arrived in the country. That’s the number he said had emailed him to take up an offer he’d made on the Late Show with David Letterman last year. He’d told the TV chat-show host that “NZ is a convenient 20-hour flight away” and “if you go in the next 30 days I’ll pick you up at the airport personally”.
KEY also had a jibe at Air NZ chief executive Rob Fyfe, about taking his place as NZ’s best-dressed male, according to Woman’s Weekly magazine. “Suck it up, son”, he told Fyfe.
KIWI rugby league star Benji Marshall flew into town on Tuesday morning and was spotted that night in Cowboy bar.
