haha - VB was the only Aussie beer in a can I could think of that I would actually consider drinking. I'd rather a Coopers. Mmmmm Coopers!

Cycling for once has some decent recoginition in the press. 5 world champions in 2004 seems to have grabbed the attention of the public. There are three cyclists and two triathletes up for the 2004 Halberg Awards (NZ's main sports awards.)

What's not good is the weather in NZ at the moment though. I live 10 mins from a good surf beach, and the sea temperature hasn't risen much above 15C when it would normally be 18 or 19C at this time of the year. I want my summer! Stuff the farmers who are saving 10K a month in irrigation costs, bring on the heat!
