This is your school holiday assignment. Complete the school lunch quiz by matching the image to the name - a quiz based on the school lunch images sent by @ninjakitty.bsky.social this past school term. There are 15 images in total. forms.gle/et7qDL4VGBJH...

How did the game of T20, a shortened format of summer cricket designed to finish in well under 3 hours become a game that finishes after midnight on a week night in October? 🇳🇿🏏

Randomly recalling that the Pak N Save coin twirly donation thing used to say "Pak n Save supports Child Cancer" which I always thought was a bold position to take

A reminder that every school lunch image is recorded on this page www.nickbaker.digital/nz-school-lu... should you need it for any reason ....

I want to move to Europe but cannot decide where to live - can you help?

This is downtown Tauranga. The building in the background on the left is our new library, opening in less than 2 weeks. In the foreground is the construction of a museum, hopefully opening mid-2028.

no one's doing it like college woso

Hands up if you've got ...

Thanks to everyone who shared this quiz, it has well and truly escaped containment - over 1,000 submissions (8.13 average score, 14 scores of 15/15). 300 since midnight so we are now being seen overseas. This image was guessed by only 21.4% of people

We've reached 250 attempts at this NZ school lunch quiz. Still only a single score of 15/15 (unsurprisingly). Thanks to all who submitted themselves to this rustic visual treat

The top 4 most unidentifiable school lunches so far. See how well you do in the quiz - the average score is 8.6/15

The lunchslop will haunt my dreams.

We are The Bay!!!!!! The Bay 32-17 Hawke's

Tauranga's retirement home for burglars

Saw an Aston Martin today with the rego "0TAX". I presume it means a desire to introduce a tax-free threshold in NZ ......

Lots of things are now called "AI" when they are just plain old computing in the same way that this was called a "COMPUTER BOOK" when it was just a plain old magnet

Interesting to have the doors open 2 hours after the event starts. Does this mean you can watch the FPC game for nothing and then they chuck you out? @alicesoapbox.bsky.social

This is a great still image of the event that I just stole from Yahoo Sports

Just realised that the debutant for the Black Ferns is not called Elinor Plum-King but is in fact Elinor-Plum King.

The reason I will perish ..... On a cruise ship rapidly sinking and we're filling the lifeboats. "There are 17 people and the lifeboat can only take 16, we need less people, how do we decide which person to leave behind?" Me: "You mean fewer people"

The new Tauranga Library building opens on Friday 16 October (that's the building in the background of the image). Hopefully this is the start of the regeneration of the city centre with the museum construction well under way

New episode of Better off Read. My new book kluge comes out on Thursday. i'm doing four events to celebrate the four colours the cover comes in. You can read about them and listen to a short excerpt here better-read.com/2026/08/11/k...

I've gathered all of these images up onto a single web page for future reference www.nickbaker.digital/nz-school-lu...

Does anyone think I should go along to the audition? I don't have any acting experience but I'm fairly sure they'll hire me once they've seen my Bottom

And the coldest temperature in my Tauranga garden since records began (I was given a weather gauge for Christmas around a decade ago) -1.7°C

We definitely aren’t calling it flemball. That sounds disgusting

If you're a rugby fan but you don't have Sky Sport, the NPC is on TVNZ+ for free and it starts tomorrow with the mighty Bay of Plenty Steamers playing some team from over the Kaimais

Zoe Hobbs just won the Commonwealth Games 100m in 10.93, a new NZ record. And the final was in torrential rain.

Currently -0.1°C in winterless Tauranga - send emergency blankets

#InternetNZ peeps! Board Member voting has opened! Eligible members should have an email. There is at least one meet the candidates event, but it is absolutely critical that you vote. **If you think you might forget, voting sooner rather than later is the best option.** bsky.app/profile/jpda...

First up I had to endure AI eulogies Then came AI funeral poetry but today was a new level of horror, AI generated songs for their loved one. Fuck me if I didn't have diabetes before it I certainly did after it When you're pining for Supermarket Flowers by the cunt Sheeran a line has been crossed

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Woke up at 1.30am this morning #NoZzzzzealand and put on the Open golf to see how it was looking - ended up watching until Ryan Fox hit the winning putt. A truly remarkable win to birdie the tricky final hole to seal a one shot win. Not often I say this but "GOLF ROCKS!!"

That's the best half of rugby I've seen the All Blacks play in quite a while. Plus Tupou Vaa'i is the new Dane Coles - could start a fight in an empty room.

To get more respect from the players, the referee for the upcoming World Cup final should dress like the ref from the first final back in 1930. And be an absolute unit ....

Reflecting back, I'm not sure the World Feed commentator greeting the winning goal in a World Cup semi-final with "Awwwww, England are in trouble now" is the neutral vibe we should be getting.

Come on France, throw on Mateta and get it launched

Disabled all the AI functions in Adobe Acrobat reader and it is so much better. I generate and open a lot of PDFs and it was becoming painful to scroll through them - no problem now.

That's a very late hydration break - think of the fans on the couch all parched and suffering.

Oh my that is huge. Terrible dive by Embolo but that's harsh

Having been to the Women's World Cup group game between Argentina and Sweden, I can confirm that Argentinian fans are the noisiest. Even with the game lost, the singing never stopped.
