Hi neighbours, A survey of 2000 Kiwis has shown different generations place value different qualities when looking for love. Young adults, aged 16 to 34, ranked a sense of humour as the most important quality in a partner, where as most 55- to 64-year-olds viewed sharing values as more important … View moreHi neighbours, A survey of 2000 Kiwis has shown different generations place value different qualities when looking for love. Young adults, aged 16 to 34, ranked a sense of humour as the most important quality in a partner, where as most 55- to 64-year-olds viewed sharing values as more important than sharing a laugh together. Younger people were also more likely to judge potential partners on their looks and perhaps unsurprisingly, more likely to meet their significant other online. What do you think is the most important quality in a partner and how did you meet yours? Please write "NFP" if you don't want your comment to appear in stories.

Members of its youth advisory board, who are aged 14 to 24, are paid $173 per meeting, but a review has recommended the council raise their pay to match the rate of $250 per meeting, that members of other demographic panels get.
What do you think? Should young people get a pay rise? Read the full story here.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

This phone is not available retail in New Zealand. I bought it in September last year in Melbourne, though it hasn't been used all of that time. Probably 4 months usage.
I look after my handsets and this one is in excellent order with no scratches, screen damage, or any faults. It hasn't been up to my ear as I always use speakerphone. Mocha Brown colour is a nice change from a black handset. Have thought about keeping it but I've gone back to using another handset and it's just sitting idle. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find the keypad excellent. Light and compact handset.
Phone Declan on 0224-773-772 for a quicker contact as I don't always get in for messages on here in a timely manner.
Are you in need of something to do today.... then take time out for a pampering. Call us today 478 5379 to make time for you or your kids.

Car break-ins are crimes of opportunity. If one of these thieves is walking on your street, they quickly look into cars parked on the street or near the street. If they see anything in a car like a bag, briefcase computer case or radar detector etc and there is no one around they will quickly smash a window and grab the stuff and get out of there. If they don't see anything in the car, it's not worth the possibility of disturbing someone and getting caught, so they just move on until they find a car with something visible in it.
The simple answer is to never leave anything visible in your car.
In-car cameras and similar can attract their attention just by the bracket on the windscreen if that is still there they might break-in on the off chance that the camera is still in the car. Don't leave camera or radar detector brackets attached to the windscreen if you are parking on the street.
Either take your stuff out of the car or put it in the car boot
