Fireworks
What sort of people think its ok to let off loud fireworks at 4am. I can only conclude that they are selfish inconsiderate idiots. I was not having the best night sleep and to be woken at that time made me pretty angry. But worse than what it was like for me, what about the mothers with young babies, and peoples pets. I have never been a great fan of fireworks but once upon a time people had the good sense and consideration to only let them off on the 5th November. I know this sounds like a stuck record, but the sooner the sale of fireworks are banned for the general public the better. I'm off now to try and catch up on some zzzz
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Does anybody know a place in Auckland which takes possum fur?
Hi, my neighbours
One of my friends just caught a big possum from his garden.
He wants to ask if anybody knows a place to collect possums.
Or what he should do with it.
Kind regards
Betty
