Re: Auckland or Wellington

In other words, you'll have great scenery, but you'll be living in a box and it will take you hours to get home. Give me Wellington any day.

Re: Has anyone watched the latest Wanted Down Under?

Couldn't agree more mate. The look of pleasure every time his 'dream' got a battering was uncomfortable viewing. There is an update on the WDU BBC page which echoes what a poster mentioned earlier....

Re: England rugby

There are plenty of streaming services available online. Providing you don't have a data cap, I find this a really useful way of watching sport. I use one religiously for my UK sport fix.
