Rants & Raves: Tickets sold quickly

Tickets to John Bishop's show sold out quickly.

To the person who badly damaged my silver Honda Accord while it was parked in the Botany Town Centre on Thursday afternoon and was too cowardly to leave contact details: I am now faced with a $300 excess for something that I did not do and can ill afford to pay for. But remember the lyrics in the John Lennon song, "Instant karma's gonna get you." I hope so.

I would like to thank the lovely young lady, Tania, for pulling my husband out of the creek after he had fallen in rescuing our dog. I was unable to assist because I was hanging on to the dog, who wanted to go back in the creek.

Thumbs-down to the promoters of the John Bishop show for selecting a venue that holds only 1100 fans for a single New Zealand show of such a talented comedian. Needless to say we missed out on tickets even though we went online to book soon after they went on sale to preferential customers and there were none available when bookings opened to the general public.

I was in the supermarket the other day with my 7-month-old twins. As I had just popped in quickly, I had no nappy bag or supplies. Murphy's law: my little boy threw up and I had nothing to clean it up. A lovely lady near us in the aisle came up and gave me her packet of tissues, which was a lifesaver. It was so kind and appreciated.

To the green-topped Lycra-clad woman who yanked and shoved our two boys (aged 10 and 7) out of your way while you were running in the Viaduct last Sunday: where were your manners? That was mean and nasty.

I would like to thank the lady who stopped her van to help me when I slipped on the driveway by the letterbox in Coronation Rd, Papatoetoe. Thank you very much for your help, and stopping.
