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?

    Gisbourne is obviously home to a large contingent of foreign spies. since nobody else in their right mind would be listening to the radio at 4am, that’s when they broadcast their secret codes and suchlike.

    since the evil foreign dictators didn’t want to lose their NZ forces, they broadcast a warning message instead of the dayly code to ensure the survival of the Gisbourne terrorist cells.
