Woman dies after being hit by car in Drury

Police are speaking with the driver of the car, the partner of the dead woman and two witnesses at Pukekohe Police Station.

The driver of the car remained at the scene of the collision.
So, obviously, the Pukekohe Police Station is actually in Drury.

Dying man gets locked up in hospital for spending all his money by his 3rd wife.

Heh, i'd have written her out of the will as soon as.
Makes me laugh that they took away something that cannot be replaced because of 'frivolous' use of that which can.

Maranui gets set on fire again.
Http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7550...ellington-cafe

"The cafe was painstakingly restored after an arson attack in August 2009."

No it wasn't... It was an electrical fire that started in one of the walls... Christ I've only been there twice and have a shit memory and managed to retain that detail.

Fake edit I noticed while copying the quote: if you read the article under stuff/dompost, not stuff/national you get the same story with this line changed:
"The cafe was painstakingly restored after a fire in August 2009."

So great, it's been fixed. Oh wait no the correct article is 10 minutes older... They changed it tobe wrong -_-

Google's spell checker does; it's awesome (if still not 100% accurate).

Urban stars in Dredd 3D - a remake of the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film Judge Dredd

A remake of the 1995 movie? Really? That's like saying 'Man of Steel' is a remake of the 1978 'Superman' movie starring Christopher Reeve.

I don't think so...

I had the same thought, but then later in the article they explain the comic origins so, just shitty editing of a promotional piece for Karl, rather than willful ignorance/lack of investigating.

In some completely unrelated news, I will always have a soft spot for the '95 Stallone Dredd movie. For it was during THAT movie where I got to second base (for the first time ever) with a girl I had most desperately been trying to get with...

True story.
