To those who have shown their Aussie colors over our sporting prowess. I hope you are around when Comm Games are on. We’ll really need you. By the way there is no cricket or league played in those Games. – Wayne

Why don’t we have passenger coaches running between the Gold Coast and Brisbane? That may take a few cars off the road. – Barney

Stop bagging the Government. Nothing wrong with the M1. It’s a beautiful highway. It’s the inane inept drivers that are the problem who don’t deserve to hold a driver’s licence. Too many impatient, badly trained people who should not be allowed to use this beautiful stretch of road. – Zodiac

The scum who abducted the Pindara nurse should be charged with attempted murder, no less. – Goldie

In regards to roundabouts they would function much better if motorists indicated what there intentions were. The large roundabout at Thrower Drive outside PBC is a good example of motorists waiting to enter when they could just drive in if people indicated there intended route. – Pedropalmy

Gold Coast/Tweed people braced ourselves for this severe weather event that BOM predicted from last Sunday on. Still waiting. – Kingie Bob

I agree with Kirk from INXS in his day women enjoyed a compliment. Now if a man pays a woman a compliment they cry out sexual assault caused by the ridiculous girl power thing. No wonder men avoid relationships today. – Jarred

Re: Prejudice pay gap 5/12). How can female health workers be compared with male truck drivers? Is it me, or has the world gone mad? Australians still flying to Bali even though the volcano is still erupting. Have they left their brains at home? Are taxpayers expected to meet the cost if our ADF have to get them out if the erupting volcano becomes an emergency?

Congratulations to our awesome Aussie sportswomen World Rugby League champions and now world surfing champions. – True Blue

In regards to roundabouts you miss the point – it's the speed on the approach to the roundabout that is the issue. If you are already in the roundabout you have the right to continue, but on lots of occasions drivers coming from the right believe they still have the right and speed up to make their point.

All those nasty texts about Kiwis and New Zealand and

not one intelligent or funny? Shows the cranial capacity of the average convict. – G

With the Kiwis bombing out at all sporting events, it’s no wonder JP McGuire has ceased boasting how good the Kiwis are. Every dog has his day, Jimmy boy. We all know why the Jillaroos won. The Kiwis did that stupid boring silly war dance.

Being a huge cricket fan and having to finish painting the baby’s room. My wife said you can watch the cricket but every time Steve Smith spits you have to paint part of the room. I painted the whole house in the 1st innings. – Dan

Our surf breaks were never the safest, but since the sand has been dumped they are the most treacherous on the East Coast! – Macca

Great shot of the old Kurrawa Surf Club in the Bully (5/12). The high rise hotel in the back ground with the piano bar would have a lot of really good stories to tell (forgot name). Great work in building the new surf club, excellent. – The old fibro sales man In law we may be all equal but in real life we are all different. – Redneck

And we wonder why retail is dying? Went to 3 shops. One major furniture retailer and the other a major lighting retailer. The other a smaller one. Do you think anyone had what we wanted in stock? Nope. Makes it worse saying 4 week delivery time that has now turned on to 8 weeks.

What’s next? I just witnessed a gay politician proposing to his boyfriend on the floor of the Australian parliament. And I thought I’d seen it all.

To Joe, you lost your bet! I have been in Burleigh for 50yrs. Most of the people around town I know don’t want the light rail. The bus service is ample. I use it to go to work every day. I’m no blow in and male. It’s not a novelty ride it’s public transport. – Dave

Could not believe a bloke asking another bloke to marry him in parliament. Don’t care what any do gooder says it’s just not right. – Old School

Said to my mate you need to plan for the storm season as they have predicted it to be pretty severe. He said ‘yeah, so how do you think they go without Cooper?’

The Jillaroos are getting the deserved publicity now instead of the Diamonds, Hockeyroos or Matildas. They are all world’s best. Go girls.

To Shezz, regarding the eye stalk ablation in prawns. I must say I’m not overly concerned. I find it impossible to look prawns in the eye when I eat them. – Wayne
