Thumbs down

■ To the cyclists and electric scooters who expect every other path user to give way to them while they are literally flying along in groups taking up the whole path. It is called the Lions Walk for a reason.

■ Is the land manager responsible for the Taupō drainage gullies in Harvey St, Tītoki St etc going to allow the blackberry, convolvulus, buddleia, cotoneaster, ivy etc to grow, permanently restricting access to the popular pedestrian and cycle paths? Be warned, the blackberry is at eye height and is difficult to get past unscathed.

■ To the inconsiderate teens being very disruptive and noisy in the cinema this week. It may be school holidays, but that is no excuse to spoil the fun of other cinema-goers who have paid for the privilege to see a film. Apart from making noise and being very restless, they also left a lot of rubbish and kept their phones on during the movie.

Messages may be edited or abridged. Meet Danny Boy. He came into our care a year ago as a frightened kitten and is now a young adult who has spent some months in foster care.

He is a friendly, independent, littertrained cat, who likes cuddles but is not keen on being picked up.

He will suit a quieter home, with older children. He is good company and just needs a chance to settle.

■ If you can give him a forever home, please call 027 644 0044, email animalcareturangi@gmail.com or message us via our Facebook page.

Danny Boy is desexed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and worm and flea treated.
