*   Re: Phone call with no one on the line. I have caller ID and the number that comes up is 0091863 from that call. When I called the number back it was a dial tone of no such number. I have had that number call twice. Would be interested to know what this is about. KM
*   Drove down Gascoigne St to see what all the fuss is about. Very glad I don't live on or use that street. HDC get your act together and listen to the people. KH
*   Re patients in and out of ED in 6 hours - yeah, right! Good on you. That should be the new Tui logo. For most people it's a minimum 4 hours' wait just to be looked at for a few moments, only to be told to wait longer, till you are actually seen by a doctor (at least 1 more hour) and that's during week days.
*   Re Pak'nSave sprayer: Yep, it is fair to be done for stealing. The only ones that it's unfair on are the poor people after you who have to spend their hard-earned cash on half-empty bottles of spray because people like you have helped yourselves. Grow up and pay next time.
*   Mission scraping the bottom of the barrel again? It will keep the winos happy.
*   A graffiti competition? For crying out loud, Jacqui Davis, where are you and like-minded others coming from? Another planet. JM
*   Yes, Taradale Clock lanes are dangerous, with cars racing to be first or just pulling over with no warning. People here can't merge and someone will get hurt. CCD
*   Took John Key long enough to ban Kronic. Bet it's because the election's looming.
