What a day!

Yesterday was a pretty exciting day for all sorts of people:

  • Gordon spent a lot of time on radio, including a short spiel on Classic Hits
  • The Government announced it would unbundle the local loop. YAY for UF policy!!
  • Large earthquake = nearly a tsunami
  • Trevor Mallard was called a pest (I think I heard the supp right) in a rather cheeky question (albeit accidentally)

Now what concerns me the most is that I woke up this morning to hear that there wasn’t a tsunami. This is good news indeed. If only I’d known that there might have been a tsunami, I think I’d feel a tad safer.

Given that the Earthquake was 3:40am-ish, what were people in NZ doing listening to the radio??? Not only any radio station, but a foreign one . . . someone has said that hundreds of Gisbourne residents evacuated themselevs.

What were hundreds of Gisbourne residents doing listening to foreign radio stations at 4am?
