Elton cancelled for tonight. Gutted but only correct call

@kaiviti_cam That would be better than hearing @MayorAuckland taking jibes at Wellington's earthquake response on @radionz . She cares.

[Chris Powell @cjpowell12]

@MayorAuckland 'He will also visit affected communities in the days ahead.' My advice is don't bother mate - you'll just get in the way. Let the workers do what they have to.

Laughing at profound words of @MayorAuckIand on @rnz 'We need the rain to stop, that's the main issue". Daughter says "Who is Wayne Brown?". hahaha #weather #auckland #flooding @RichardHills_ for Mayor!

@NewstalkZB @MayorAuckland - you reap what you sow

[J u h a @juhasaarinen]

Seriously, should someone check in on @MayorAuckIand ? It's not like him to go quiet in a difficult situation like this.

[Chris Powell @cjpowell12]

@lornaexplorernz @MayorAuckland Wakey wakey Wayne!

[Lorna Riley @lornaexplorernz]

Meantime where the HELL is our Mayor??

[Chris Powell @cjpowell12]

@damianchristie About time we heard from the genius @MayorAuckland about how he and his @AucklandCDEM are going to deal with what is now a crisis. Or is he having the weekend off?

Roland the Farter was a court jester of Henry II who, every Christmas, had to perform a dance that ended with 'one jump, one whistle, and one fart' executed simultaneously. For this he was given a manor house in Suffolk and over 100 acres of land.

@avancenz When I joined the police in 1991 there was a scandal in Wellington about cops moonlighting as security guards. I thought the issue of cops doing secondary jobs in security and related industries was clear. It does not and should not happen.

@vaughndavis The real problem isn’t speed. It’s driver education and skills coupled with road design . Speed limit enforcement to reduce the number of road deaths hasn’t worked for decades.

@toad001 I don’t want to appear churlish but his enunciation is appalling. ‘Batting’ becomes ‘batteen’, running becomes ‘runneen ‘ etc. I also heard “separately apart”. Sheesh! Broadcasters should do better. His cricket knowledge is 💯 though.
