A reader writes: "I hope that guy on Tuesday, who threw his small Highland terrier into his Toyota Land Cruiser, on Kohimarama Rd, across the back seat so hard that he hit the other passenger door, and then started beating him till he yelped, feels as sick as I do ... that poor, poor dog."

Tristan was recently on the google.co.nz homepage when he noticed they offered the page in Maori. "Thinking it could be interesting; I clicked on it and saw at the top of the Maori Google page that Google toolbar suggests I translate the page from Swahili to English. Seeing this, I emailed the Google team to get it fixed - and they apologised and said they had accidentally had Swahili down as New Zealand's second language. A bit of a cultural mishap on Google's part ... and it still hasn't been fixed."

Jo is appalled at the blatant rip-offery of an Auckland drycleaner. "While dropping off a summer dress, I mistakenly mentioned the word starting with 'W' that make $ signs appear where eyeballs once were. 'As it's your wedding dress it will take three weeks and cost $160,' said the man behind the counter. He confessed a 'normal' dress costs $26 and is ready in two days."

Seven-year-old Tayla wore her pink-rimmed glasses every day - though they were probably making her vision worse. The Specsavers glasses gave her headaches and made her nauseous because the lenses had been fitted the wrong way round - the wrong lens for the wrong eye. The company confirmed the mistake and, when the mother asked to buy a bottle of lens cleaner worth £3, the assistant said she could have it free to make up for all the trouble.
