MINUTES WITH: Constable Phillip Pithyou Wellington District Ethnic Liaison Coordinator
What would Cook Strait News readers be shocked to know about you? 1) I joined the Police when I was 23, but I never entertained the idea of joining until I was about 20. Prior to this, I wanted to be an actor. 2) I have competed in Muay Thai and boxing.
What would you change about the world? Factory farming and any mass ill treatment of animals. Until we demonstrate the fair treatment of animals, improvement in human to human affairs is wishful thinking.
THUMBS UP
Who is one person, dead or alive, you would love to have a meal with? Esho Nasraya (Jesus of Nazareth)
What meal do you never get sick of eating? This is a trick question right? You want me to say doughnuts and coffee don’t you? Well the answer is vegan food. (I am not vegan).
If you could be somebody for a day who would it be? A fireman…just kidding! I would be an astronaut.
I know if I have to pick one person then I may cause unnecessary sadness!
What would your super power be and why? An ability to detect crime and apprehend criminals before the damage is done. It would add value to our Police national operating strategy, ‘prevention first’.
What is the best thing in your life right now? My current role within Police. I have a great boss, a great team and a supportive community behind me. From yodelling cats and surfing dogs to collapsing buildings and other outrageously excitable shenanigans – this is where readers share what is going UP and DOWN in the Eastern and Southern suburbs. Have you got an anonymous THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN to share with Cook Strait News readers? Email news@wsn.co.nz and let us know.

DOW THUMBS
THUMBS UP to the snow in Karori last week. Freezing cold but pretty special. THUMBS UP to Wellington City Council for planting about 1000 new trees in Houghton Bay. THUMBS UP to Mayor Celia Wade-Brown for taking the time to speak with the only other commuter in her train carriage. And for speaking to him in his native tongue, Chinese Mandarin. wellington.govt.nz/your-council/ news/2015/07/bumping-into-the-mayor THUMBS DOWN to Pebbles Hooper and her twitty twitterings. THUMBS DOWN to this blatant disrespect for our favourite community newspaper, Cook Strait News.
Who is your best friend and why?
THUMBS UP to Tim Morgan and the research he has put into his great uncle Ellwood’s war story.
THUMBS DOWN to Wellington City Council wanting to install speed bumps on Clyde Street in Island Bay. Waste of time and money I think. THUMBS UP to the Whitireia 2015 National Diploma in Journalism (Multi-media) students who graduated last week. Well done guys! THUMBS DOWN to the freezing cold weather on the South Coast last week! Time for blankets and electric blankets me thinks! Global warming could be quite handy after all… THUMBS DOWN to the death of Deirdre Barlow on Coronation Street which just took place in the United Kingdom. New Zealand fans will need to wait about two years to see the iconic character’s exit storyline on local screens.
