Urban legends, cryptids, monsters, and creepy places from all across the U.S. and beyond!

Then, there's the inevitable descent into ridiculous conversation and dark humor, because these guests are AWESOME!

I’m glad I’m not working in the health system. Not that I’d be much use if I was, I’ve never been that great with blood. But the reason I’m glad I’m not a doctor or a nurse or a GP or a specialist, is the big stick that’s being pointed at all those people by the Government with its new targets. If I was starting a shift on a ward somewhere right no…

This is not the first time I’ve said this, but we are the people’s republic of pushovers, aren’t we? The way we give overseas visitors free ACC cover.

If someone is 10 years old, they aren't legally allowed to smoke.

At last, Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton has come up with an idea that I actually agree with. There was his push recently for the speed limit on the Southern Motorway to be bumped up to 120 kph, just because people are driving that fast anyway. That wasn’t his finest hour. But this idea he’s pushing today - that new road tolls need to be created and hig…

It is time for Christchurch to get real. To get real and accept that we will never host the Commonwealth Games.

His idea is based purely and simply on his rose…

Let’s get this clear from the start: Transport Minister Simeon Brown is no knight in shining armour coming to the rescue of motorists up and down the country.

If you drive a petrol vehicle, how’s that $20-a-week tax cut looking now that the Government wants to sting you with road user charges? I’m being a bit facetious. Because I actually think road user charges are much fairer than fuel taxes. Because, when you use a road, it makes no difference whether you drive an old dunger or something more modern -…

I love the Government’s thinking on infrastructure planning. It wants us to have a 30-year plan for big projects that politicians, generally, wouldn’t be able to muck around with. Which, of course, would give us all a lot of certainty. It would also give the people who invest their own money in infrastructure certainty, as well. So a great idea. Be…

Sometimes, no matter how much of a greenie you might think you are, you just have to get real.

I think the Government’s done a John Key. You know - float an idea, wait for the noise, and change the thing people are making the most noise about. Which is exactly what’s happened with the new Fast Track legislation for large-scale infrastructure and mining projects. Some are saying the Government’s 'backed-down' with its decision to let an indep…

If we thought the last government was a bunch of control freaks, the current one’s just as bad, isn’t it?
