If I was stuck Monday on the M1 after the truck accident. Sure it was a slow drive, but nothing compared to the snail pace after I got off at Ormeau. Every side road was packed, not to mention the selfish drivers at roundabout­s.

One word can improve the AFLW. Lingerie. Redneck

Goldoc how about putting up some banners for the games. I would not even know it is happening but for all the doom and gloom about the traffic chaos it will cause. Redneck

Congratula­tions to Tate and the councillor­s that have stood up to the 20 or 30 noisy extreme greens that would shut down everything in sight if they could. Fill in that mosquito-breeding swamp and build that theme park at Carrara, what a perfect spot. The Gold Coast needs the jobs. Simon

Agree with your editorial (GCB 11/2) that the ASF proposal was appallingl­y handled by the Palaszczuk Government. But the statement that the ‘white shoes are long gone’ is incorrect. The lack of transparen­cy exhibited by the Council on issues such as Black Swan Lake and Bruce Bishop carpark is making the Coast a laughing stock again.

Anyone who has ever grown, picked & marketed their produce will know it is hard work! I love the Sunday markets, I don’t expect cheap, I look for fresh & quality! Stay in bed! Toota

The question that should be asked of the save the lake mob is would you let your children or grandchild­ren swim in the borrow pit? I suspect not.

Bob Hawk was a one off. The Labor Party has tried to reciprocat­e that with each ‘union chosen’ leader since. Every time Bill opens his mouth, he thinks he’s doing a big ‘Churchill’ speech, with the pauses and dramatics. When it’s really just a coffee order! Enough to make you vote LNP!

I have been watching the winter olympics. To date, I have not seen any of the participan­ts spitting, unlike our serial spitting, disgusting, ‘no class’ footy and cricket players.

No Brainer. Okay, I’ve got my new wooden pegs. What do I do now with the old plastic ones?

When I read the headline that said GC to Brisbane in 10 minutes via some hi-tech supertrain, I wasn’t going to read too much of the story but when I saw that it involved Steve Ciobo, I just turned the

page and went elsewhere. Save your breath Steve, it’s going nowhere

Old Jack - I think you need to contact the National Bank as it should take no more than 24 hours to transfer money from one account to another. They may have a quicker way. Good luck - Watto

Why is it that our Elite swimmers always have an excuse! Thank God it’s the Commonweal­th

Games, Not the Olympics! Macca

I went to buy sum mandarins at my local IGA supermarke­t then noticed the little sticker they were from U.S.A. Wot a koje! Jado.

These Winter Olympics are more interestin­g due to Nth & Sth I believe this is a good sign, I do believe in free speech, if free speech is free then political correctnes­s isn't. Sport can bring all nations together in peace, once it’s over religion takes over with hatred & war. Atheist Mick

Ocean walkway. Biggest tourist attraction we could have. Bike and walk lanes. What pollie has the guts to bring it home.

Aussie Barnaby has turned himself into Barnaby the Boofhead. Sharon

Confucius say “fool who sleep on tram track” wake up feeling a little flat” ... hee haw

Hey Rhonda. It was Joh Bjelke Petersen, a National party premier who said the curtains would fade if we introduced daylight saving not Peter Beattie.

I can never understand why local government allow the planting of huge trees in residentia­l areas when they know the damage they can cause during a storm. Barney

Re single use plastic/carry bags; l don't see many people “bringing their own cloth bags”. Woolworths lady told me today “No bags by July this year”! Ma”

If GCCC can patrol burleigh beach for off leash dogs, why not the broadwater?

I wonder how many millions of dollars the Qld Government have given the original land owners of the Gold Coast for the Comm Games?

The political correctnes­s from the C’wealth Games is being drip fed. Probably don’t want to scare the citizens by letting it loose all at once.
