When I went to NZ about 30 years ago, vibe-wise Auckland was like LA and Wellington was like Seattle. Not sure if that comparison still holds.

It tried to, but a relatively new watch and not an easy button combo.

I was running on a treadmill a few weeks back, and was knackered so stopped abruptly by jumping into a straddle position with my legs on the rails either side of the actual band on…

Yes, fair. I think the default for a pub lunch would be to drink, but it was never mandatory.

More unhinged and better, especially in banks. I had one senior stakeholder that would come back from the Pub on a Friday and complete change all his previous decisions. I think my…
