WANTED: Handheld Radio Walkie Talkies
Hi neighbours. I have four preteen and teenage sons. They’ve always wanted walkie talkies, especially my youngest. But the toy ones are rubbish and not worthy the money or hassle.
Does anyone have a pair of decent quality secondhand ones, that would do the trick? I’d rather they be rechargeable. They might be old and they might be scratched, but my boys would get a kick out of them.
Enjoy these summer days :-)
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
