Has the Auckland Harbour cycling bridge been scrapped?
I have no political position to sell, no argument to ferment, no victory to be claimed.
Been driving from Westport to Murchison and back all week for work, and I just want to share my two guaranteed smiles every day this week, travelling the epic lower and upper Buller gorge.
Concrete jungle Londoner, it doesn't matter if you make make T-Rex claws over the steering wheel in a ute full of co workers when you see it, you're already one of life's winners.

What you need help with?
Twin image
Do you want it like this?
Perfect, ta.
You’re welcome. Looks more like Godzilla than T-Rex to me, but I’m still 100% sober. I’ll let you know if/when it changes tonight.
Still looks like Godzilla, but by Jove, she’s beautiful! [1.2 standard drinks down]
