So far, February is shaping up to be a fantastic month. Those of you who have been out in the sun will know this fact. It seems as though our long lost friend, Summer, is finally here. Yes, I've mentioned that in a previous edition, but this time, it's for real. Our weather station that's located on Hallenstein St recorded the highest temperature this year back on Waitangi Day. I personally think that will be broken some time this afternoon! And, last Friday the Black Caps beat Australia by 10 wickets - which has never happened to the Aussies before, and yesterday we successfully chased 336 runs! And get this - 47 of the overs bowled were bowled by players going to the world cup. Ouch!!

For the last two weeks, I've been giving a so-called global warming lesson. The first one involved some quotes from some fairly reputable sources, and last week I related it to Queenstown. Due to the feedback I received, I will be re-writing the majority of last weeks edition and then publishing it as a stand-alone Feature article. I'll be sure to let you all know when that happens.

This week, I'll be resisting the urge to go on and on about Global Warming, but if you're wondering how you can make a difference, try supporting both Meridian Energy, and TrustPower. Both companies supply Queenstown with 100% renewable electricity. Click here to see if your electricity company uses 100% renewable energy or not.

This weeks poll asks: "Does the customer service level reflect Queenstown as an international resort?". Anyone can vote and comment in the forum. Registered users can access the full forum as we've restricted areas that the general public can't read or post in. Registration is free and easy.

We have some major changes coming soon, so watch this space for more details. Until then, have a great week, enjoy the sun and I'll see you all next Monday.

Joke of the week

Blind Man

On a hot summer day, two nuns - both young, blonde and beautiful — are working in the church library putting away books. After working feverishly to get the job done, the first nun turns to the second and says, "I can't take this heat anymore! Do you think it would be all right if we removed our shirts to cool off while we worked?"

The second nun, feeling the heat herself, decides that it would be acceptable since no one else was present. She locked the door and closed the curtains, and then the two nuns removed their shirts and kept working. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" asks the first nun.

"It's the blind man," says the voice behind the door.

"Well, a blind man can't see our nakedness. We can let him in," the other nun says, and opens the door.

"Wow!" says the blind man, "Nice tits! I gotta run back to the truck. Where do you want me to install these blinds?"
