* Why doesn't someone start a drill sharpening shop? We all buy good drills and toss then out when they are blunt. At a dollar a drill it would be worth it.
* Map on TV1 News. Must have been a major earthquake or flood that moved Kairakau to north of Waimarama.
* On the 27/4 an inconsiderate driver of a cream coloured Nissan Laurel put me, my 5yr old daughter and my partner at risk on the Napier-Hastings motorway. It almost cost us our lives as we ended up swerving towards an on-coming truck and other traffic. They didn't even bother to make sure we were even alive! RB
* What happens to money taken at recycle centre in Hastings?
* I know I'm flogging a dead horse but I just can't stand PJs in the supermarkets. I know it's been miserable weather but take some pride in yourself.
*  Totaly agree. National are only fixing the mess left by Labour. Keep up the good work National,.
* The world was going into financial ruin, it didn't matter who was in power at the time. But National steal from the poor and give to the rich.
* Hugh slip forces hill evacuation'. HB Today Thursday, April 28. Hospital on the hill? Yeah right. PTK Clive
* To the NCC manual labourers who sorted the "non flush" problems in Marewa - great work guys. Much appreciated.
* How come Napier RSA could not put have paid for some wreaths at the cenotaph? They should have been there for people to view.
* Councillors 3 per cent-4.5 per cent & 6 per cent for the Mayor. I wonder what sort of per cent increase the real workers outside of Plaque Palace received? The gardeners, carpenters, rubbish, mowing, cemetery, etc, may have been lucky to see 1-2 per cent if anything? Would be guessing management would be claiming tight budgets with no scope for increases! Chris Plummer, Hastings
