I got my 15 year old daughter to listen through Asylum with me and give me her ratings out of 10 and a blind ranking of the track from 1-15 (ie. she ranked them as she went without hearing the tracks to come). She'd only listened to Neurodivergent before we started.

Here are the results

Apologies if this has already been posted, here's every try the Paekakariki Express scored for the All Blacks. No annoying music and with the original commentary. My favourite line (from Bill McLaren):

This laddie was like an animated prairie dog as he went through.

Squirrel is a new reactor. He did a great little series of Ren reactions a week after seeing Hi Ren for the first time. With a nice little twist of having a theme/riddle through the five days.

Karisma Performing Arts, a vocal coach from Johannesburg, has just started his Ren journey.

He has some really interesting comments, and has also just reacted to Chalk Outlines.

Other than the obvious similarity in the titles? The songs are very different in vibe, but both confront the listener somewhat.

Maybe Ren has mentioned a possible link somewhere?

Akonzip zippy TV has come to join us all, in a very unusual way.

Great enthusiasm and he clicks with Ren really quickly, he's already done reactions to Hi Ren, I Shot the Sheriff (both versions) and Murderer already.

The KALEO song is a pretty awesome actually.

In the past I've tended to wait until the New Year to do a quick look at my budget, but seeing that there's so many things going on at the moment and we've now got another public holiday to celebrate, conveniently mid-way through the year, I've decided to start a new tradition and take a little time to review my budget now.

I run a very simplistic Monthly budget, with pretty conservative assumptions. While my income is up a nice amount, my expenses have risen almost exactly as much - with more likely on the horizon. The biggest movers are Car +50%, Power +60% (although I'm probably overestimating this, based on a June bill) and Groceries (+40%). My housing costs haven't moved yet, and I've

Looks like this week's round of rises has begun. One year rates up a full percent since September, a lot faster than I expected to be honest.

Now that we're only a week out from Christmas I guess it's time for a retrospective.
