Road Market and Road Kill, Auckland, New Zealand

Forget the road markers who painted over branches, here's painted over roadkill in Albany, Northshore, Auckland.

Road Marker and Plant, Auckland, New Zealand

My mate snapped this on Old North Road near Kumeu. "The 'branch' manager of the road painter obviously had a day off ... Guess the contractor gets paid by the metre of road paint, not the quality of the work."

The Third Cellular Network in New Zealand

Just watched the six o'clock news on Channel 1 and found out that New Zealand will be having its third mobile phone network operated by TelstraClear and offering a Nokia 6275i. It will be officially launched tomorrow, Monday, 01 September, 2008. The new phone plan seems reasonable:

$20 per month access
29c per min national calling
500 national texts per month - any network
40c per min "Big 5" calling (Australia, USA, UK, Ireland and Canad)
FREE Nokia 6275i worth NZ$499

TelstraClear's Invitation Mobile Plan is available to ALL residential customers who have TelstraClear phone line, calling and broadband services.

The only draw back I can see now is the lack of best mate on TelstraClear's offer and no free call minutes

Hopefully, the new network will give the other two network operator a run for their money. Eventually, the winners will be the consumers
