Hmmmm, lots of Wellington Facebook pages said he was “confirmed to have survived”
New Zealand journalism at its finest once again.

I used to live about 100m from there so used to see a few of the regulars wandering out when I waited for a bus. There's one guy that plenty of CBD peeps would recognise, so I hope he made it through.
Sadly, it appears he didn't (yes, I was talking about Mike the Juggler).

Sad, but fuck he looked 67 when I first remember him like 30 years ago.

I guess life on the streets will age a man.
This happened to him too. Whilst lots of homeless people are violent and aggressive I’m fairly sure he wasn’t and didn’t deserve this.

I'm all good. Thankfully I live in a boarding lodge in Mt Vic overlooking the Basin rtahre than Loafer's Lodge which catered for a rather different level of clientele. I've been working 7 days a week until very recently which is why I've been absent (that and falling out of love with rugby).
Really appreciate the concern.

As long as you’re still in love with cricket, I imagine the views of the basin would be magnificent.

Yeah, although the hedgerow has grown so much it obscures the view from our deck, but up on the second floor I am perfectly positioned at the southern end , around wide mid on. Still bitching mightily about makeweights like kuggeleijn being preferred to Boulty
