* Why do we let these monkeys in these so-called gangs run riot in NZ. It is a national disgrace and embarrassment. The government should have the guts to outlaw them.
* We sadly live in a community of knockers who can't focus on the positive things Art Deco brings in. Get over it - it's one weekend and it's fantastic! Go find something worthy to complain about.
* You're right, it's hard to find some sleep in certain areas of Mayfair, with dogs barking all night long. Dogs shouldn't be allowed in residential areas.
* To the gullible who paid 40 bucks to see their false idol SBW. Wake up, he's just a show pony!
* Top taking the shingle out of the rivers so the ocean can grind it into sand and lay it on the beach for us to enjoy. Start giving.
* I read with interest there are hundreds of school teachers with criminal convictions. Why has our government been allowing this to happen?
* Black Power clowns are still attacking people. Lock them all up before the innocent get killed. SF
* Great news, the prospect of top international sport in Hastings. A Hastings hockey pitch is a badly needed facility for locals and is fully backd by the Hawke's Bay hockey community. Adam Wrigley
* Cost of living upward, living standards downward. National Party forward, mojo funding awkward. Tama iti ... backward!
* Could someone please fix the flag on top of Vautier House in Napier?
* I work long, hard hours in the hospitality industry. Gaming rooms are full on benefit day. Do I pay tax to watch dishonest, lazy gamblers carelessly fritter? Winz should be answerable.
* People who buy vouchers for restaurants need to make sure they read the terms, etc, before they buy them. KJ, I don' thnk many places would let you use two vouchers at once. What's in it for them? Also, if a voucher has expired, don't expect it to be honoured. NF
* What's the problem at the Taradale on-ramp? Don't people know how to merge? There is a big merging lane for a reason, so learn to use it!
* Re Omahu Rd/Canning Rd: Big bump here - poor people in ambulances are going to hospital. Created when Omahu Rd upgraded. Another HDC stuff-up.
* Re the sub-standards of Pyke River mine. Sadly they highlight a growng culture where profit takes priority over people.
* Tui girls are our country girls? I am from Dannevirke and they have always been around. Who cares? Auckland girls feeling threatend? I think so.
* The White Ferns are a joke. Too timid. Why don't they appeal for more LBWs? They are too polite!
* Hope all those wearing fox furs at Art Deco functions were feeling proud. Did you think about what you were wearing? I think not.
* What is HB turning into? A bunch of cat-hating whingers! Leave our much-loved pets alone - this is why kids are being hurt if animals are treated badly.
I* f your cat is on your property, it is your household pet. If it on my property, it is feral. Imagine the same situation if we were talking about dogs?
* The ignorance of supposed 'cat lovers' who reckon it is ok for cats to foul other peoples property is astounding. Hot curry powder is a good deterrent.
* Visited Taradale, used loo in carpark. Filthy and disgusting. Hastings may be short of loos but what they have are kept clean.
* How frustrating watching the "dont be a clown, wear a life jacket" ad during the ITM fishing show and no one on the entire show wore a life jacket. Bad example guys!
* Good to see motorhomes parked on grass between aquarium & playground on Marine Parade. Pity council don't let them stay there more. Walkng distance to town - restaurants and shops! Lucy
* The reasons given for cutting drivers licence testing from rural areas must be the biggest load of, being polite, codswallop I've heard from the NZTA for a long time. I agree with a lot of what Mayor Probert has said. This cutting of service is not, I repeat not about driver safety no matter how it's presented. It will be interesting to see where the AA stands on this.
* The Government of a country is meant to represent you and not itself. Seems our one just doesn't listen ie. sale of SOEs, smackng law etc, etc.
