    I think I've been there. Did it have an upside-down house?

    Before you got there, or after you left?

    This will shock you to your very core so I hope you are sitting down but I spent most of my time in New Zealand completely plastered. Therefore, I'm not in a position to confirm or deny anything but it does sound like the sort of thing i'd do.

    Maybe the house was fine and I was upside down. I suppose I was technically anyway.

    Spent a week in Wanaka this time last year. Lovely.
    Didn't bother with Puzzling World, didn't see any wankas.

    And did you say hello? No. Wanka. Not that i live on the same island or anything.

    Wanaka is one of the scenic bunker escapes for the billionaire Technorati who, let me be clear, can fuck off into space one-way.

    Well we’re possibly going back next year to stay with friends in Queenstown so maybe next time ;)

    You’ve burst my bubble about Wanaka though. My wife lived there for 6 months in a backpackers (before she was burdened with me) and still refers to it as her favourite place on earth. I don’t know how to break it to her…

    Queenstown and Wanaka are just great and beautiful, as long as you can afford to be there.

    Peak Daily Mail.

    They have an article online about what a bastard Martin Lewis is for saving people money and being bad for investors.

    Out of all the bad in the world, they have gone for a bloke who helps people save on energy bills and car insurance.

    Absolutely brilliant.

    He had an argument with Badenoch on tv this week I think? Mystery of why they've gone after him solved.

    And he was right - if you are going to do one thing it should be to raise the thresholds on the loans, but you should do both.

    Threshold that increases with CPI and interest at CPI too (or maybe the long term gilt rate)

    Oh yes that was mentioned. How dare he ‘shout’ over a woman!

    The Daily Mail is the real bastion of women’s rights.

    My street WhatsApp group has gone all TalkBack. The latest barrier in the planning department preventing the construction of flats behind our houses has fallen, so they're discussing digging up the local cemetery and burying the bones behind our houses.
