I think I’ve mentioned before that the only good thing about the Metro website is their Gossipwatch column, which they’re very conveniently not even linking to anymore (although you can search for it). But finally, we’re one step closer to not needing that at all now that the Herald website has finally seen fit to give Rachel Glucina her own blog.

So how does it stack up against her competition, About Town by Bridget Saunders? It’s better written, for a start, with fewer exclamation points and more complete sentences. Perhaps she has a copy-editor. And there so far seem to be fewer personal agendas. But still, both are a great way to kill off brain cells, and remind yourself why some people don’t like Auckland…

(Psst, looks like TVNZ shot their load a little early…)
