* The other night at 21:30 four boys, about 16 years old, came out of the Atomic events centre. They walked in the centre of St Aubyn St. When I tooted my horn they swore and screamed at me - and one kicked my car and then ran away. I turned around and went to inquire at the centre if they knew the names of the boys and was rudely told that it had nothing to do with them what happens outside the centre. Next time I'll hit them with my car and take the consequences.
* Challenge to political parties: Make sure average wage follows inflation. Tax brackets should be the same. Minimum wage is catching up to what a lot of locals earn.
* Some people are so sick they engage in dog fighting. I say turn the dog on them and see them squeal and cry for mama.
* What is the Napier City Council doing to protect Napier City from tsunami invasion? MP
* Love the article about SBW superstar or show pony. SBW is to rugby what Lebron James is to the NBA. Media hype, show pony that's not as good as he believes he is.
* The beggar currently obstructing public thoroughfares is so lucky. Nice home, steady income at the taxpayers' expense and a little tax-free cash to play wth. Disgusting. Why can't police or council get rid of him? SMB
* Staff at Flaxmere pharmacy. Top service. From MB
* I can't believe a teacher was beaten unconscious by a student and the board has to meet to see if the police should be involved, and the student has only been suspended!
* To the hoons who speed in Murdoch Road. It's a 50km/h zone, not 100km/h-plus. NP.
* Oh how I wish all the shops and banks opened at the same time each day - like 8.30am.
* To V W. Hahaha. Luv it.
* Of course dogs get mad when teased by kids, as some people do.
