At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.
The Warriors: 7/10
There is a roll-on here, a real consistency, and two more easy points this weekend.
Food scrap bins: 2/10
They're not used, they're made of plastic, they blow all over the neighbourhood. The 40% shows a bad idea is a bad idea, whether it's on the whiteboard or on your street corner.
Citizenship tests: 6/10
A lot of ideology floating about the place this week. Does answering a question mean you are something, or subscribe to something, or believe in something? Or did you just tell the people what they wanted to hear?
Cuisine Awards: 2/10
What a bunch of pompous toffs. No one defends Vaughan Mabee if what is said is true, but Cuisine rates food and menus and dining experiences, not whether fry pan genius extends to being a prat.
The Met Gala: 7/10
Hate Jeff Bezos all you want, but it's about fundraising and it raises a lot of funds.
