*  I'm for the Bay express train in summer. C'mon Kiwi Rail!
*  Unbelievable! After all the talk about quitting smoking what did I and many others see? A father having a puff of a cigarette then passing it to his son who was in St John uniform. You should be
ashamed of yourselves.
*  The Napier Taupo Rd - I drive there every morning and see truck drivers driving too fast for their own good. Now in last month two major truck accidents. That shows drivers are careless especially in wet condition. I urge truck drivers to slow down and think of other drivers and safety come first.
*  Hone sticks up for people who are struggling black or white.
*  To the scumbag who hit our darling Lab on Monday night down Meeanee Rd - you didn't even stop! She was left suffering and you have left us mourning a loved family member. You will get your karma. N. Bryant
*  Re Roger on the Mission: The Mission goers have to get used to the older artists not wanting to come all this way for a singalong. They can go other places and sing new songs. Also of the 29 songs on the Cliff R. DVD of the event, 19 were his old songs but most are too drunk to know who is on stage anyway!
*  Having the drug peddlers regulate the stuff they sell would be as safe as putting the cat in the aviary to look after the canaries. PG
*  So, Napier, no merger eh, does this mean that you will be keeping your untreated sewage out of our mutually shared oceans.
*  Re players squeals - no John you are not alone. If I watch women's tennis at all on TV I mute the sound. Definitely time it was outlawed.
*  Car speed maximum 100kph. Truck speed 90kph. Trucks seem to average about one every four minutes. Therefore, cunningly, Government keeps average road speed down and adds risky overtaking to mix. Ian
