My first post here, so I thought something on the lighter side of life to make a start. How about this for the golfing tragics www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQUEkqql8KAand in other breaking sports news, in the Cricket World Cup Afghanistan beat Scotland by 130 runs (190/4 vs 60) !! What was with the Scots, did they think the Afghans were bowling grenades, not balls???

I didn’t know the Scots even played cricket “An evil stupid game invented by the English” etc etc… And I definitely didn’t know the Afghans played it!

I played a few games of Yak Polo once, it's like horse polo we see here but without all the trophy wives and all the Range Rovers.

Speaking of "polo" happened to be going past the Clevedon polo ground(sth AK) Well it looked deserted,high grass etc but straight across the rd,near enough,earth works going on.Surely they are going to build unsightly apartments??? Totally ruin Clevedon. Cricket.Yes I never knew Afganistan played it,let alone Scotland.Do the Irish play it??

Totally ruin Clevedon. Clevedon is fucked, mate. A consortium of Developers got together and in a round about way, forced Watercare to put on water and wastewater services. Plans were for 2,000 residential lots across multiple developments. That 2,000 number was several years old now, so with the increase in revenue (space rocket house prices) and the changes in planning and density rules, yes I would be expected 3 story apartments all over Clevedon, esp the main roads. The same density is happening in Riverhead. 3 story apartments on the Coatesville Riverhead Highway. The area used to be about 7 properties / hectare (i.e. nice large 1,500 square m sections). Some of those developments are getting between 45 and 60 dwellings / Ha. In one example, 3 houses are being removed and replaced with 57 apartments and about 6,000m2 of commercial space. This is the definition of intensification. In the countryside....

In the countryside.... in our little Nth Auckland outpost at Warkworth, the Unitary Plan is based on an increase in population from ~4,000 to 20-40k over the next 20 odd years. I know developers are sitting on all the farm land encircling Warkworth, and even with the motorway extension finished (eventually) Hill St will continue to be a nightmare and infrastructure will be stretched to the limit
