* You would have thought the Americans would have wanted to interrogate Osama Bin Laden or use him for bargaining. How did they know where to find him?
* The image of Bin Laden's corpse looked unrealistic to me.
* Osama Bin Laden didn't have his day in court. The world really wanted to know who his co conspirators were.
* Re Maori waka, Pakeha America's cup: Why does everything have to end up a racial thing? They are both there for all Kiwis to moan or enjoy, no matter what race we are. From proud Maori/ European 17yr Kiwi.
* We live in Williams St by NBHS. During school holidays we didn't miss the piercing bell that rings at the end of each period, that's got to be bad for the young men's ears and ours!
* 10 Asians with drugs in shoes. What a novel way to be able to stay in NZ. Next their families will be here on compassionate grounds. Send them home to their own prisons.
* Shame on your name John Key. Now we know why early childhood, health and Women's Refuge had such huge cuts - so you could fund rugby and yachting. S Tyacke.
* Windsor Park: How bad is it going to get there before the council cleans the water up? The water stinks and is so clogged up with weed, branches and rubbish it has turned in to a black muddy bog. In most places the ducks are walking around on top of the water. Add the odd tyre or two and some tagging and a beautiful park has turned into a bit of a dive! Why no cycle lanes between Guppy and Murphy Rds from lights? Three schools use the roads.
* In response to Harley's text about the 'Pakeha $36 million America's Cup', how is the America's Cup Pakeha?
* Was wondering if anyone has seen the mature couple that walk along Gloucester St very early every morning? I haven't seen them for some time on my way to work.
