Rog s massive America s Cup sharn The Morning Rumble 17/03/2021
Apparently, it s never too early in the day or week to tell a massively punishing sharn on the radio.
Rog was sharing his extreme stories of the ocean and unloaded this mega boring yarn about how he was on invited on Ben Ainsley s America s Cup boat in 2011. Not only was it a sharn, it was also a load of bullshit.
So the producers sounded the sharn alarm on him - and good for them.
Be better Rog.

From Australia, to America and now the UK - Grant Simmer has seen it all and in some way has gone full circle.

Letter of the week: Larry Mitchell, Rothesay Bay.
The (Weekend Herald, January 16) reports the plan to raise $106m rates rise . to clean up beaches .
Additional rates such as are proposed, would have been totally unnecessary if Auckland Council had followed its own rules and policies relating to the proper application-expenditure of its wastewater funding reserves.
Included in our rates bills going back almost 20 years, ratepayers have already been billed and have paid in advance the huge sums set aside for wastewater renewals. These funds had been paid, collected and reserved for the works that now need to be completed . to keep sewerage off our city beaches.
