Susan thought she had just bought a flesh-toned bra with tiny diamante sparkles - but it is so much more, as she learned from the tag. "An entire undercover operation is in progress. I have been embedded. SecretService suede-touch lining is unbeknownst to me, applying 'grab and hold' technology to keep me in place and up all day and multi-way straps are adding that extra oomph in a rear guard manoeuvre. I do feel a bit spooked at this storm of clandestine activity in my B-cup."
Strange coincidence at Grange
Pat and Bernie Taylor from Grange Motor Lodge, Papatoetoe write: "Two Scottish couples boarded a flight from Glasgow on Tuesday. They bumped into each other again in Dubai and again at Sydney. First couple: 'Oh, you're off to NZ? So are we. What a coincidence!' Second couple: 'Yes, we're staying in Auckland for two days to recuperate after the 40 hours travelling'. First couple: 'We are too. We're staying at The Grange ...' Second couple: ' ... Motor Lodge!' We're only a small motel so I wonder what the odds are?"
Stingy landlords get their comeuppance
Tenancy tales 1: "We rented a house where the owner had a dance studio behind the house. We discovered that they were clearly using our water and electricity (which we were paying for). We issued a 14-day notice for them to get their own water and electricity supply. We agreed to a discount in rent instead of them installing a whole new water and electricity meter on the proviso that they also told subsequent tenants. "
