Boy (Girl) Racers

Robert from Hillsborough

Dear All
There is concern about the Boy (Girl) Racer misbehaviour in our City.
The following verses perhaps sum up the matter.

And feel they are gods at the helm;
But hold hard my friend,
Their exploits often end,… View more
Dear All
There is concern about the Boy (Girl) Racer misbehaviour in our City.
The following verses perhaps sum up the matter.

Boy Racers think streets are their realm,
And feel they are gods at the helm;
But hold hard my friend,
Their exploits often end,
In outcomes that can overwhelm.

Some think that no matter the case,
They have ev’ry right to each race,
And one-eighty spins
To discover who wins;
We hope they’re removed without trace.

’Tis wrong that you think they’re all boys,
Indulging in furious joys;
There’s quite a few girls
Who indulge in these whirls
By using their cars as mad toys.

I wish they’d divert useless skills,
And find other ways for their thrills;
They should change their ways,
And get well deserved praise,
Instead of behaving like dills.

Hello! I have two small strawberry off cuts in pots. Potted a couple of weeks ago while still runners and detached 72hours ago. These strong wee plants are ready for planting with roots even showing out the bottom of the pot. $2 each or $5 for both.

My strawberry plant was an off cut about 10 years ago from a friend and has grown at both my previous Spreydon home and moved with us a year and a half ago to my new Hoon Hay home. It stays green in winter and survived past frosts well.

Dogs not on a leash

Katrina Neighbourly Lead from Cracroft

I bike along the river to pioneer leisure centre about three times a week. I have seen dogs off leashes attack each other. I've seen dogs off leashes attack dogs on leashes.

I have seen dogs off leashes attack each other. I've seen dogs off leashes attack dogs on leashes. I've seen dogs run towards other people and only pull back when called by owners. Yesterday I saw pretty much all these things and a dog chased my bike and was called off. I carried on biking up the hump that leads to pioneer with the sound of yelling and whistling behind me. I passed a man at the top of the hump holding a baby in one arm and the hand of a toddler in the other. He stared down at all that was going on and I think he was reconsidering his walk. I was thinking at this stage that no matter how amazing you think your dog is if you want to walk it off a leash take it to a place where that is ok. Public paths are not that place. Owners who do keep leashes on would say the same thing. I saw a terrified woman the other day who had her dog on a leash and that dog was being attacked by a dog off a leash. The owner of this dog treated it as a ha ha moment "my dog wouldn't really hurt your dog". That might be true, but it didn't stop her or her dog from being scared. Rant over 😀.

Dogs on hot pavements

Kate from Cashmere

Hi everyone

Hi everyone
Please can you think about your dog's paws before taking them out for a walk in the hot sun. The pavement burns their paws. If you can't stand on it then they won't be able to. I am upset on a daily basis seeing people dragging their dogs along the footpath and seeing the dogs trying to walk in the shade or in gardens to get off the hot pavement. Many of them are limping. Please rethink the time of day you take your dog out. Thanks.

Watch: Is this the coolest thing to do in NZ?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head … View more
Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?
