Great news of Telfer-Watch – he’s returned back to Auckland (although some of that would not see a return to Auckland as being anything great!).

And I quote in full from dear old Granny:

Brendan Telfer returns to Auckland

9:24AM Sunday Apr 05, 2009

Veteran broadcaster Brendan Telfer has been transferred from Wellington to Auckland Hospital to continue his recovery after suffering a brain bleed last month.

Telfer, 58, collapsed at Wellington Airport on March 15 while on his way back to Auckland after covering the New Zealand Golf Open in Queenstown.

Tests showed that he suffered a cranial aneurysm, which involves bleeding from the brain.

Telfer has covered several Olympic Games and international netball tests for Television New Zealand.

Now this is great news of course … except for the Orange.

Ever since Telfer has gone into hospital, stats here have gone through the roof because:

1.  Obviously, people are concerned about his health

2. There’s been bugger all in the MSM (main stream media for those that need help)

So I suspect it’s back to anonymity for the Orange but great news for the Telf Man.
