Why did I get divorced? Well, last week was my birthday. My wife didn’t wish me a happy birthday. My parents forgot, and so did my kids. I went to work, and even my colleagues didn’t wish me a happy birthday.

As I entered my office, my secretary said, “Happy birthday, boss!” I felt so special. She asked me out for lunch. After lunch, she invited me to her apartment.

We went there, and she said, “Do you mind if I go into the bedroom for a minute?” “Okay,” I said.

She came out five minutes later with a birthday cake, my wife, my parents, my kids, my friends, and my colleagues all yelling, “SURPRISE!!!” while I was waiting naked on the sofa.

Just did a stint in NorthShore hospital. The whole experience was one of dedicated staff from A+ E right through to transition out being completely overwhelmed by not enough staff not enough beds. People on beds in the corridors. Absolutely third world. What have we come to?

On Saturday May 2, a passenger train will travel Auckland → Hamilton → Tauranga — and it has already sold out in less than 2 days, with almost no promotion.

That tells us something important:
👉 People want this

The thing so many have insisted will never happen has happened.

Anyway, cue the confident explanations for why it still won’t, plus the urgent memo that this doesn’t count.
