Hamilton Streets a Boring Lot - according to an article in the Waikato Times today. Local real-estate agents reckon posh titles might help marketers but it makes no difference to house-value. I reckon they're being a little harsh about apparent lack of immagination amongst local Hamilton developers, I mean check out the following for an 'interesting' set of names...

• Balloch St
• Longwood Pl
• Flagstaff Pk
• Thomas Rd
• Magellen Rise
• Pearl Pl
• Golden Pl
• Hardley ?
• French St ?
• Rimmington Dr
• Mount view Rd

What's boring about those then aye, aye aye?. If you think that's a slightly juvenile theme and if your a sports fan, you might be impressed by some other fabulous local place names...

• Badminton Court
• Chequers Ave
• Rugby Park

Titanic volcanic eruption seen on Io - A titanic volcanic eruption has been spotted on the surface of Jupiter's volatile moon Io using a telescope back on Earth. Astronomers believe it to be the most powerful eruption ever witnessed in the entire Solar System.

I'd like to suggest that if those astronomers want to check out a decent eruption that they point their telescopes in the direction of my toilet and wait for a morning after I've been out eating curry and downing a few lagers.
