When I was getting the bus back from the Big Day Out, I heard one guy say to his girlfriend, "Wow, the buses are getting quite flash these days." And it wasn't even the newest model Stagecoach have, but the slightly clunkier earlier one that was impressing this guy. Though perhaps if I let such people believe that 90% of Stagecoach's fleet are those rattly old ARA buses, then there's more room on the buses for me!

Are the insinuating that these were just excuses? Give me the bus any day. With my brand new iPods touch I can watch podcasts on the way to work and relax while others get to sit in traffic. Absolute Magic! And why did the Herald have to put teething problems in quotes - ‘teething problems’. Are the insinuating that these were just excuses? Give me the bus any day.

I don't remember you mentioning that part in your application to join the Aucklandista! Next we'll be letting <a href="http://wandaharland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">people from the Hutt</a> into the Wellingtonista or something! But oh yes, man that <em>Herald</em> article pissed me off. You can't judge something by one day. What if that was the day that Godzilla decided to tapdance across the harbour bridge? That's going to skew the results a little! Wait a second, you’re from The Shore? I don’t remember you mentioning that part in your application to join the Aucklandista!
