Muppets.

*WHEN* that falls down there is going to be more pedestrian jam than Cashel Mall - not to mention the rest of the CBD.

Was in Welly on Friday and was rather surprised to see such complacency.

The prevailing attitude of "we've survived an earthquake with very few problems" - the only issue is there hasn't been a "proper" earthquake in Wellington yet...

We in Auckland can be all smug too, none of our buildings were affected.

Don't tempt fate Lady. All those pointy hills are supposedly dead volcanos. (Says a Wanganui dweller. PJ

That's not an earthquake...large parts of Auckland will become Pompeii eventually but it's still not an earthquake.

Now I wonder how they intend to make the buildings pyroclastic proof? Oh, I know, just keep making them taller, there'll be a bit sticking out up top. :-)
