This story was written in 2006 after a holiday in Fiji. Having never heard of or seen these strange worm-like fish, I was intrigued to learn more about them from the local people. The fish only rise to the ocean surface two days a year, in October and again in mid November.

Zimbabwe's land reform programme, put in place by President Robert Mugabe, is thought by many to be winding down. But while the world waits for South Africa's reaction to ongoing calls for land reform the policy seems to be resurgent north of the Limpopo. Diamond discovery and crop harvests are spurring a new wave of farm invasions in Zimbabwe.

Think of Afghanistan and the first things to run through your mind will (not unreasonably) be war, Taliban, and US military forces. But Afghan cricket proudly claims more than 70,000 male participants play in most of the country’s 34 provinces and that even the country’s most unstable areas have teams that compete in national tournaments. In a country where Taliban once banned girls from attending school, today in Kabul more than 100 women play. A new documentary film follows the fortune of the national team.

Much of Irish business is doing fine and the country has a healthy balance of payments surplus. But these are not enough to save an economy burdened by enormous bank debts that are State guaranteed. Some say senior bondholders should share the pain, other talk of default. A less drastic solution is within the grasp of the Irish themselves: reducing public sector pay to that level of the private sector. Is it possible?

To Celebrate 100 years of Surf Life Saving in New Zealand a group of "6 Surf Lifeguards" are circumnavigating New Zealand in two IRB's (inflatable rescue boats). The boats and motor are the standard IRB's used by most clubs around the country with a few modifications. These include the fuel capacity increased to 90 litres from the usual single 20 litre bladder, less fins on the propellor guard to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency and a longer tiller. A few other minor adjustments have been made to the foot straps and hand holds for comfort for the longer journey and different stance of driver and crew person.
