❚ fed I use up Sanson with being Rd every cut off day on passing and am lanes. Ring *555 when it happens? A lot of speeding vehicles are signwritten tradies. Chrissy
❚ Whoopee do, Miss Universe New Zealand contestants at Ihuma¯tao. When will common sense take over. BD
❚ The city council spends $400k on a swamp by the New Life Church, but will charge rates to Ozanam House. Disgusting. GM
❚ Chris Teo-sherrell is doing an excellent job trying to slow traffic. Vehicles don’t slow on approaching the pedestrian crossing at the shopping area near Pitama Rd. Alistair
❚ Why the hell has Hansen picked SBW to play for the All Blacks? He is the most useless player to be picked, in my opinion. He won’t finish the game. He will go off with some mysterious injury.
❚ Pity there isn’t a balanced column to oppose the rantings of the Tory lackey Liam Hehir. He is so incredibly biased it makes me want to recycle my breakfast. RH
❚ Went to Les Miserables last night. Wow, what an amazing show, plus wonderful local talent we have. Congratulations all involved.
❚ Now, didn’t I say when Mr Engu made his announcement, ‘‘now that’ll be bad for business’’.
❚ You’ve got to laugh. Keystone cops
in Southland, Corrections allow hate mail from prison, dolphin tourist boat captain runs aground, High Court unaware of Ramadan, overlap in mosque murders trial. Sigh.
❚ Why have the NZ Music Awards waited 70 years to award Hall of Fame to Ruru Karaitiana. He should have been invested years ago. I remember when Blue Smoke came out and have always liked it. It is a catchy number.
❚ Who has the balls to save Manawatu¯ farmlands from urban development? BM
❚ Do we actually care that the prisoner who can’t be named who committed a crime we would like to forget sent a letter to Russia with a call to arms on the last line? All the media are doing is giving the prisoner who can’t be named the attention we are supposed to not to be giving. Rennat
❚ Peter L, in the early 70s at Gisborne Intermediate we regularly sang the national anthem in te reo Ma¯ori.
❚ Keen to see which Palmy candidates argue for rates relief for Ozanam House and which ones will defend policy fine print.
❚ All the rubbish and rhetoric from Stats NZ about its social media gains is pathetic. All we went from it is a census every five years.
