Shop's Santa
* Santa in black and white on New World supermarket Hastings. Go the All Blacks in the World Cup! FO
* Old Santa looks awesome in All Black colours. Well done Hastings City New World.
* Good on you Hastings City New World. All Black Santa awesome. TF
* New world supermarket Hastings: Please can you tell me how I explain to my 4-year-old that Santa is still more than 3 months away? Ridiculous you have yours up this early. We will be avoiding your supermarket! MHP

* Yes ban gang patches all over New Zealand towns and cities. I'm an ex-Black Power member. I pulled out because nobody needs a gang to get on in life. We come into this world by ourselves so best to be yourself. I joined a gang because I had no father and kind of looked up to the older members as father figures. I found out it wasn't worth the stress to be a gang member. Life's too short. I'd rather live a happy life being myself.
* Why no All Blacks to Wairoa. Great town, deserves more. RNN
* Hi Grease Monkeys. Olive oil and paper towels remove grease. Warm water removes the olive oil. Dry hands on a paper towel.
* Thankyou to Baptist church putting on a wonderful morning for dads and grandads at music on Friday. Fantastic and refreshing seeing true meaning of families.
* Can some one tell me why Napier streets are cleaner than Hastings. Also is Havelock North part of HDC? FFM
