Where can I get the product “Bar Keepers Friend”? Been trying to get it for months. Can’t find it in any supermarket chain? Old Codja

Good on ya Trumpy, do a few laps in the Nascar pace car and don’t forget the RED cap.Yous a good ol boy! Norm

Here is one for investigative journalism ... how many murders, manslaughters and deaths have been linked by police to Tinder and Grindr hook-ups globally? I see in the UK there were 500 crimes including rapes linked.

To Tony Cavuoto re: Holden never being a “fair dinkum Australian car”. Words fail me. PH, Ormeau

What a great text from KenW (20/2) and placed in Chatroom’s Best Text and well deserved too. It was just a short and simple text, but full of feeling for his fellow man. You should have been a journalist Ken. If I was still teaching, I would have your words written and in a frame hanging on my classroom wall for all the students to read that would be a great help in reducing school yard bullying.

No more Aussie holdens, all over red rover. What happens to the dealerships? Do they stay as Holden dealerships or transition to GM? Kamm

Tony Cavuoto, Holden manufactured cars here from scratch and exported cars and car parts. That is why the loyalty. The loyalty and Holden died here as soon as they stopped manufacturing. While GM repeatedly guaranteed they would keep the brand name alive it meant nothing on an imported car and we all knew sales would collapse. I would consider buying a Commodore or Falcon because it was made here but as an imported car it would have to stack up against all the other imports. Quizzbird

Congratulations Bully, you have just printed the first Wordfill that I am unable to either start let alone complete in 7 years, not happy Jan. LEIGH the CABBIE

So the Germans are going to phase out coal by 2050 by closing down dirty brown coal power generators first. Brilliant, as they can close down the more efficient coal power generators in 29 years and still keep their promise.

Can’t wait for that great new service, the Hoppo ferry to allow dogs on board. I know the crew would love it too. Tony

Voice your opinion people, spread the word on this outrage,

Philip Ruddock gets $200,000 a year pension while has a $200,000 a year government job. Obeid does jail time while all the time collecting a government pension and still gets it. Killing our country.

Paul Weston’s article (21/02) about The Spit the ideal place for a new world class attraction for GC, what about an aquarium? Townsville has got one. Why not us too? Tracey, Currumbin

God I hope Eddy Sarroff does not get voted back into Council. He is a divisive figure who will turn council meetings into a tantrum-throwing forum.

The Morrison government won’t look after GC tourism when it holds all the seats here. As with the sports grants debacle only marginal seats were well looked after so don’t expect any golden goose offerings here. Geoffrey

Could one of our GCCC traffic persons please come down to Palm Beach Ave and look at the gridlock that occurs every morning and afternoon. Park in Tahiti Ave so you don’t get caught in it though.Then tell the residents how it will be do much better when around 2000 more people fill up all the apartments that are being built in our once beautiful, friendly but unfashionable suburb that is now being destroyed by development.

Found it interesting that Ken Johnston was so quick with his racist slurs that “Cobblers” could only be – his words “a Pom or Kiwi”. Plenty of us think that way too because of people like him. Tallebudgeran

Ken Johnston – sorry cobba, tru blu Aussie. The clue is in the moniker. Cobblers

Bloody brilliant letter, Viv Forbes (GCB, 21/2). On average, Aussies use 628,500 megawatt-hours of electricity per day. Tesla Megapack battery storage for all Australia for 24 hours would cost $549 billion. There’ll be no “transition to renewables.”

The laws of physics and economics rule that out. Shano

Hey Zodiac ... still around ... they lost their sense of humour a few years ago and got sick of sending stuff in. Will see if this goes in. two coat

Another police officer charged after defending themselves. Why would you bother to become one? Johnbrew

If “the Guru” has been able to buy a Mercedes for the price of a Holden, then I want to go shopping with him! Quizzbird

How stupid do we look, to be so reliant on Chinese tourism. I think destination GC has been asleep enjoying the influx of Chinese visitors and now they’ve worked out there’s some work to do and it’s panic stations and looking cash handouts.
