Compiled by Vicky Rawhiti-Forbes As it should be during summer holidays, we spent a great deal of the past month drinking. Then we went back to work and watched cat videos.  One generous tweep shared extracts from her teenage diary, and we may never look at Oprah the same way again. Here are...

August: There were Olympic games, we discovered depresso, and New Zealand did not stay classy. Read on!   Life, eh? @katjnz Inflation is clearly hitting the begging game. Just got asked if I had a spare $10. @FrancesCook The Ministry of Justice has such peppy hold music. Almost makes the...
