They loved a centring kick.

Great opening gag

Beverly Hills Cop 3

Eddie was going through the motions here, making a not very good action movie thats totally devoid of any humour that the first film had loads of. The whole thing is basically set in an amusement park for fuck sake.

The fact they are making ANOTHER one thirty years after this effort should be of grave concern to all.

1.5 no bananas in no tailpipes out of 5 gratuitous George Lucas cameos

@Victor-Meldrew the marketing was a miss

Speaking from experience.....

@Tim ingested did make me laugh

NZ jazz legend Rodger Fox dies aged 71

Rodger Fox - whose name has been synonymous with big band jazz in New Zealand - has died, aged 71.

Probably not a name that familiar but Rodger Fox influenced and mentored so many NZ artists, not just in jazz but across many genres.

Great in concert. Full of energy but unassuming - loved promoting others. Big loss

@Victor-Meldrew also forgetfulness...

My industry the main players often use off shore call centres, then when customers get fed up, they bring stuff back in house...then, new ceo needs to cut costs, what can we do, I know, set up an off store call centre, it will be different this time.

Yep. We mapped the real cost of an agent in Bangalore and Sheffield - to include things like staff attrition, training costs, re-work - and found Bangalore more expensive. Brought as much as we could back in-house and increased QoS by 10% (wholesale life insurance and pensions) and sales by 5%.

Can't be grumpy as I was called back 18 months later to update our work and convince the new CEO for a big fat fee....

@NTA Honestly, the youth of today over analyse everything. They need to do less thinking, more doing sometimes, fear less, try more

No worries mate, think I got it worked anyway. But cheers anyway.

Auckland space tech company on sending pioneering technology into orbit

Zenno Astronautics is an Auckland and US-based austronautic company which has already sent its technology into space via Elon Musk's SpaceX.

10 minute interview with the founder of a Kiwi (although he's originally from Siberia) space start-up who have developed the worlds first all electric space propulsion motor. The size of a gift box for a bottle of wine.

Will propel a craft, protect its passengers from solar radiation and enable the manufacture of craft in space - all through the application of superconducting magnetic fields.

Did a test flight on Space X last year and has global patents. All from an office in Parnell.
