* How oh how do I keep beef stock powder from going hard?
* Rebel forces is just another name for freedom fighters - people against dictatorship.
* What is the Government thinking stopping a bus service that has been running since the 70s? They'd have only just been kids themselves when it started. I depend on a rural bus run to get my kids to school so feel for those who have missed out. KH, Maraekakaho
* So National is thnkng of increasng class sizes to save money. How about saving money by cuttng MPs' salaries. Aah well, you all voted them back in.
* Re the car window cleaner who nearly got bowled at Nelson St lights: Is he there legally? With council permission? Who pays him? CC.
* Re council rates: I'm all for a march on council. Remind them they are employed and paid by us, the land owners. Our city feels like it is sprailling down the toilet.
* I'm a starter to march on our council re the excess rates we're paying for the ridiculous spending around this city. The day will come when we won't be able to keep our own home because of rate increases. Like a lot of us we have worked hard to get our home. I've just retired, to pay my rates is almost one pension - not a lot to go on.
* With China having more trade with us can we please pay them to look after our prisoners rather than building more jails here. Would be a great saving and who knows, people might not reoffend. They deserve no rights and they would be treated how they have behaved - badly. Bring it on. CB
* Our ridiculous prison/justice system turns out crims. It should find work for them in prison to make reparation. PT
* Thank you to the kind lady who gave me her unexpired parking docket in the pay and display carpark behind Farmers. You made my day!
* Will the council lease the grazing in Oak Ave or sell the grass for baleage. Allen Craf
* Take the heart out of Hastings and it will bleed to death. Mrs P
* I dont want to see any more money spent on revamping Heretaunga St. The area around the railway line works very well. Money would be better spent elsewhere. CM
* When will Hastings wake up and realise that nobody will shop there due to the scum that cruise the streets intimidating and acting like pigs day after day. Trace
* As one cannot take one's wealth and power with them when he or she passes on the pursuit of them therefore, could be seen as rather pointless.
* More cats being shot - they are put on earth for human enjoyment. Sub humans who shoot them or abuse them should get the same treatment.
* If your GP can't see you for a week then he/she is not meeting the standard. Ask how many enrolled patients he/she has and if more than 2500 then consider registering with another. Also important to raise your complaint with the PHO.
* Re the Urewera so called terrorists: The black power and muppet mob do that stuff every day. Why aren't their leaders in the dock? SF
* What's with the unnaturally dark shade of pink in certain brands of eggs? Obviously the chooks have no control over what they're fed. Unlike the public and the fluoride in our water. I suppose some other chook with a vested interest will say it's good for our bones. Yeah right.
* Feminists who want to ban Tui girls ad need to get a life. The ads have been around for years. Do the same feminists want David Beckham's undie ad or Dan Carter's brand or the new powerade ad with SBW banned as well? I doubt it. Sadly sex sells and it goes both ways whether it's hot women or hot men it doesn't matter - sex will allways sell.
* To HNZ: Did you know the empty flats in Maraenui are being used by delinquents as places to party, indulge in drugs and who knows what else. Best you put people in them before there are more underage drinking binges, unwanted teenage pregnancies or worse!
* Fed up with the crashes due to the pedestrain crossing outside our house on Nelson St North, Hastings. Three crashes in one year not good. It's dangerous and causes hazards. Hera Ripohau, Hastings.
* Hello sailor! All waste is contained on the ships and removed at the end of each voyage.
* What happens to an oil well when we have a large earthquake? Does it break and spill out its contents?
