6 OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK

We've been very preoccupied with San Francisco over the last few days, especially those of us directly involved with broadcasting a breakfast radio show by remote control. Interestingly though, there have actually been one or two (or six) stories about.

1: There Was Some Weather. It wasn't the end of the world, but some planes had to land back where they took off from and some cows didn't get milked. This prompted talk of a "Weather Bomb" hitting Auckland. It didn't. As usual.

2: ACC Cocked Up In Some Way. As usual. This particular case seemed to involve a lady who broke her neck. Not sure exactly what you DO have to break to get ACC to pay out, but I would have thought your neck was usually a safe bet.

3: Someone Won the Ranfurly Shield. Not sure who. This seems to be a very fluid situation that's still developing and is impossible to keep track of.

4: Syria Was All Sorted. Not.

5: Tana Umaga Got In Trouble for Grilling the Ref. But nobody did anything about it. Have you seen Tana Umaga? I wouldn't mess with him either. He can yell at me whenever he wants.

6: New Labour Leader Announced. Whoops, sorry, that hasn't quite happened yet but we all know it's going to be Cunliffe because even though everybody hates him, at least he's not gay or crazy.
