WHAT’S red, blue, yellow AND purple,
AND LOTS OF FUN
THE FAB FOUR for the UNDER FIVES …… THE WIGGLES!

TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY, DECEMBER 1st, 2008

Get ready to Wiggle New Zealand! It’s nearly time to dance live-in-concert with the ‘fab four for the under fives’ at 'The Wiggles Live in Concert’ in 2009'!

The Wiggles look forward to touring New Zealand in 2009, for the first time since 2005!

Join Anthony (Blue), Jeff (Purple), Murray (Red) and Sam (Yellow) and all their Wiggly friends, Dorothy The Dinosaur, Wags The Dog, Henry The Octopus and Captain Feathersword, performing in Auckland, Hamilton, Napier/Hastings, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field said, “New Zealand children are the same as children in Australia, American, China  all around the world who come to our shows - the children have a great time and the families have a great time watching their children have a great time. But we’re doubly excited as we have the best seat in the house because we get to see the children and their families having a good time! We have always enjoyed coming to New Zealand - with its breathtaking sights and the warm hospitality we always receive. We are so glad to be coming back to this beautiful country.”

The Wiggles will perform songs from their latest release, YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING (which won them their 7th ARIA Award for Best Australian Children’s release), plus all the favourites such as Rock A Bye Your Bear, Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Hot Potato, Quack Quack, Monkey Dance, Can You Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist.

Celebrating 18 years of entertaining children around the world, 2008 has been another fantastic year for The Wiggles, having toured the US three times, a sell out tour of the UK as well as a regional tour of NSW, the mid year shows in Sydney and Melbourne and their national tour of Australian capital cities in December which are always a favourite with everyone! The Wiggles’ interactive song and dance shows continue to capture audience’s imaginations. They have sold in excess of 22.5 million Videos/DVDs and 7 million CDs worldwide.

The Wiggles are the most awarded children’s act in Australia. Earlier this year, they were named as UNICEF GOODWILL AMBASSADORS joining the ranks of Shakira, David Beckham and Roger Federer. The Wiggles have always been great supports of organisations that help children. As UNICEF ambassadors, they will be focussing on numeracy and literacy as well as sanitation.

The Wiggles performed a concert in Sydney which featured Jimmy Barnes, Leo Sayer and Damien Leith that raised money to build clean water facilities and 300 latrines for five schools and villages in Timor. The Wiggles also created a song for the first ever global hand washing day for UNICEF which was observed on October 15, 2008 “UNICEF works with children in need in 150 developing countries including Australia’s Northern Territory, to improve access to clean water, health care, education and food. UNICEF gives all children, regardless of race or religion, the best start in life. For that reason, we feel deeply honoured to be asked to take on the role of Goodwill Ambassadors and work with UNICEF to help impress the lives of children around the world” said Murray Cook, The Red Wiggle.

This year, The Wiggles will have performed to over one million fans worldwide. So join the in all the fun with 'The Wiggles Live in Concert - 2009'! But be quick, tickets will sell like….Hot Potatoes!

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".

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

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
