Matt Stewart gets among the cultural isobars with his weekly MattService culture barometer.
• Wakatipu Ski Club sale. After the snowboard gear was snapped up in just 20 minutes last year, organisers have wisely decided to bring in more kit. Bring on the polar weather bomb.
• Lazy parkers. To the motorhome oxygen thief found parked across no less than four spaces on Park St on Monday morning, how is it possible for someone like this to have generated the means to rent a motorhome and travel in it, let alone make it past customs?
• Wellywood saga. I have no objection with aping the classic Hollywood font. However, the Wellywood thing is cheesier and more derivative than one of your dad's jokes.
