The above photo shows Bill Thompson who came down from Levin to place free money bets with Dr Ian Coutts, the man who offered bets on Trump winning in a landslide.

In the days immediately following the Presidential election, like many folk I was glued to television following the counting updates.

This exercise revealed the world’s most boring man, conceivably in all of history, namely CNN’s Chief National Correspondent, John King.

Mums and Dads Herald financial advisor Mary Holm, reported receiving a letter from the Inland Revenue Department in response to a query she made on a reader’s behalf.

The Department wrote, “As you know we can’t tell you information about individual customers…”

So there in three words is arguably the greatest language abuse in history.

The Wellington City traffic authorities have appealed to me to intervene, specifically to ask readers to give it a break for a week in hammering Wellington medical specialist Ian Coutts for free money.

The crowd scenes photographed yesterday illustrate the problem.
