Hey Neil … spot on about the tennis, in all honesty if they want to prove themselves why not pool all the prize money, girls play the boys? Oops sorry persons play persons and winners take home the money Neil and let’s not stop there – why not make it all sports? Now that would really be worth watching. Vern S

Disgusting that the CEO of Domino’s pizzas gets over $36mil a year. I won’t be contributing any more to his ridiculous salary. Sampancho

Re Kate Jones/GC tourism. If you invite every tourist to experience something they can’t get anywhere else, it won’t be a “natural” event when all they’ll see is the back of some other tourists head. Please take the greed of money out of the natural beauty of my home town.

Too windy and open for markets at The Spit, power could be a problem also. Good idea but great market on Sundays at HOTA Bundall.

I see in this morning’s paper Southport Girl Guides is opening up … just the other day Boy Scouts were on the way out for not being inclusive. I’m confused once again – goose and gander springs to mind.

About this global warming, why are we getting frost on the Gold Coast? When was the last time we had frost? Smoke and mirrors. Glyn

Hearing the French national anthem usually makes me want to sing along with the words from the Brisbane Lions Club song - TB

Hey Shelly, re the train from Casino to Murwillumbah. NSW had one! It was to Kyogle where it joined the interstate line. Later it became the Ritz Rail for tourists but was eventually closed. NSW has since dug up most of the line. If it ever gets to go again – it will cost a motza to rebuild. PH, Elanora

I just loved the story in the newspapers where the anti smoking brigade has attempted to turn the word smoko from its meaning of morning tea to smoking in the workplace. Good try but older Australians who know what it means aren’t fooled. GT

If smokers want to keep smoking during working hours I say why not dock their pay for time away from work or pay more for non smokers. Simple solution. R.R.

So Sydney house prices have fallen from $950,000 to $870,000 in under a year and still falling. Australia was warned about a housing price correction and it didn’t listen. - Rob Why in heavens name does one have to get TV’s Current Affair involved before Gov Depts start doing their job. Absolutely pathetic. Doug

Exactly Vern S. We could get by on say 100 dollars less pension. What I am saying is that so-called experts live on another planet, or are talking from self-interest as they are probably trying to scare up business. This does not apply to all advisers. Some are genuine.

Memo to 9 News weather forecasters ... it’s minus degrees not negative. Chilled out viewer.

Re smoking at work. Workers at GCCC Nerang go out for smoke religiously every hour. Never make up for lost time!

Trump is trying to have amicable relationships with leaders of N-Korea and Russia. The people who hate him for it must be mentally challenged. Johnbrew

I rarely travel to Brisbane by train but did so Friday 13th. 4.19 departure from Nerang was cancelled. The next train came but many people who boarded at Helensvale were forced to stand all the way to Park Road. Poor situation after paying full fare. QR need to do better. Gaezy

It takes twice as many muscles to frown than to smile. And dosen’t cost a cent. Chief Usain Bolt’s a good man and have no issue with him, but should give opportunity and train up local soccer talent and not imports. CH, Pkwd

Gail, Varsity Lakes. Save your fruit n vegie bags for your rubbish! Too easy! Ma

USA lefties screaming treason claims at Trump are exactly that themselves by putting absurd accusations ahead of the welfare of their country and its people. Too much hate and too little tolerance of different political views.

If Australia wants basketball to be successful here don’t follow America with the endless timeouts and the endless free throws, even when they don't physically touch them. Clarance.

So if Trump meant the opposite of what he said will he now build a tunnel and not a wall? Digger.

Volcanoes regularly spewing more emissions than the whole human race since its birth. So how incredibly stupid are climate change alarmists. I’ts a massive and expensive con.

Why has diesel jumped over 30 cents a litre? Petrol has gone up but nowhere as much as diesel! Absolute rip off. Charlie
