THAT CANNABIS DEBATE....

Robert from Bryndwr

It'll be interesting to see how that referendum pans out on the subject of Cannabis. I am in two minds on the topic; firstly I am going to vote for it but, secondly, I have reservations about the probability of a capitalistic and social incremental creep where big money and big business will, over time, eventually, buy their way with politicians, their political Parties' funding and government. With the ever growing familiarity of the presence of cannabis in our daily lives, they will want to be permitted to advertise their big brand name cannabis product on the jerseys of the All Blacks and on the backs of the Christchurch red buses..... Advertising to young people who will be sold on the idea that they need to get stoned to be socially acceptable; a necessary social lubricant just like alcohol advertising in New Zealand...

DANGER!! DANGER!! DANGER!!
I am a rabid post-grad Political Science student and political proctologist (at UC) and I refuse to take my medication!!! (LOL)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
