Christmas is coming and so is Last Posting Day

By /
As a special for all those foreigners living in NZ and those that have friends, family and colleagues overseas (OE anyone?) may I make the following Christmas shopping suggestion.

Pop over to Martha Craig's tip top shop, Babylicious, and pick out something wearably Kiwi:



Whilst the shopping experience is aimed at the little people in the world (kids, dwarves and midgets*) they are able to supply a lot of growed-up clothing that 's exclusive enough to be cool in London and yet won't break the bank.

And how's this:
Free delivery within New Zealand. International delivery available.

So you could get online, order, pay (Visa or MasterCard) and get it sent to your Mum. She can then pop it into the one big parcel that's sure to be wining it's way over to you, them or others - sorted!

Of course the Riversdale's will be availing ourselves of plenty of kiddlie-winkly type clothes for all the new members of the family and those that just wanna be kool both in the Northern Hemisphere and closer to home here in Wellington and Christchurch.

Personal favourites that someone will get include:
But have a trawl round with your credit card in your hand and shop now for those overseas and remind them of NZ in the best way ever! You too (or your favorite small person) could be as cool as this lot.

* the difference between a dwarf and a midget


Final note - posting days are up online at the NZ Post: Special Sending Occasions
But I'm good to you and here it is right here although you'll have to go visit for the "Win your postage back" competition and details of some special deals.

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

[Updated] Pubs of 2024 Monmouth

"Back in the day", yada yada yada, yes we all know there were more pubs than people, there was a pub every two houses, the largest number of pubs per square mile than anywhere in the known universe, there was a pub named after each and every one of us, and yet, YET we only ever went to same one every time. Monmouth has changed, it now only has 10 pubs.  "Ten! Ten? It used to be ten pubs just in the top of town. There were ten pubs I'd walk past to get to my local." Yes, yes ... times change, we now have 10 pubs in Monmouth . Oh, and the Mayhill but that seems to be more a ghost pub, it can be seen but only in the dark and no-one will believe if you say you went in. Monmouth, a town in Wales (YES, it is in Wales ), a town that has a population of around 10,317 (as at 2021). A town who's 1980's population was, well, I don't know, despite a century of censuses being taken, it's impossible to find (1991: 8,206 | 2001: 8,877 | 2011: 10,508 | 2021: 1
