Miss Fiji wins the Miss Pacific Islands 2026 pageant for the first time in six years after replacing Fiji's original contestant who fell out with her bosses. Thanks for your service to outgoing Miss Pacific Islands, Litara Ieremia-Allan from Samoa. https://t.co/jPPLMf1btd
A great start to the season for @MoanaPasifika_ . Winning in Lautoka ain't easy. New captain Miracle Faiilagi shows why he is world class with a hat trick. Hope he leads the Manu at next year's #RWC2027
@Sassafrass_84 We had the 'Goodnight Kiwi' play just before TV transmission shut down for the night. Iconic part our upbringing in New Zealand circa 1980s
The Sinners, wow, it was like watching From Dusk till Dawn all over again. Not sure how this film garnered so many Oscar nominations - must be a slow year for the movie industry.
This was a sad day for music when MTV shut down on 31 Dec. Sign of the times, music has evolved. But MTV played a huge part in our childhoods for those of us born in the 70s who grew up in the eighties -the greatest decade in music. #RIPMTV
MTV officially shut down its 24-hour music channels yesterday. They ended their final broadcast with 'Video killed the radio star' by The Buggles, the very first video broadcasted by MTV on August 1st, 1981.
Everyone moaning about New Zealand's wet summer and the best weather likely to arrive in late Jan/Feb when most of us are back at work. But let's not forget summer arrived early with the golden weather we were getting in November.
Hmm, Venezuela's oil holds strategic value for Trump, and I know Maduro is a shady guy, but was it enough to warrant US military intervention? What kind of precedent does this set, and what stops US from doing the same to other countries on their black list i.e - Colombia
2025 headlines that stood out for me: Gaza, Trump, Ardie Savea, Jevon McSkimmin, Charlie Kirk, FAST, P Diddy, Epstein Files, Jaden Laing, Laauli, Payne Haas, Jorja Miller, Te Pati Maori, Dubai Chocolate craze, Prince Andrew, Hulk Hogan…hmm anything I missed?
Manuia le tausaga fou. Happy New Year! The past 12 months were mostly good personally but hey I’m still alive - that’s good enough isn’t it? Bring on 2026!
The pressure is mounting on Tuilaepa to step aside as chair of Lakapi Samoa. It's well known that prime minister, Laʻaulialemalietoa Leuatea Schmidt, wants him gone. Now two former Manu Samoa captains have joined in the chorus. https://t.co/DXHd9KKujz
