With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
I felt to play the 1812 overture. Seeing the current situation in Ukraine where the russian invaders are unprepared and suffering frostbite and lack of food I wonder if they see the irony of that favourite piece of music at the moment.

Seeing the current situation in Ukraine where the russian invaders are unprepared and suffering frostbite and lack of food I wonder if they see the irony of that favourite piece of music at the moment.
I have a dog that likes showing off her musical prowess and she certainly gave a good rendition as she joined in.
Wonder what the 'score' would sound like it if I played it in reverse - would that help their retreat be even more unpallitable. There is always some worse off than us.

Annie Brown, I appreciated the sentiments in your latest posting to Neighbours.

To quote: I do think that we must look after our Planet as best as we can for future generations of kids, but lets not forget to still enjoy life. Surely not everything has to be doom and gloom. We have enough of that in the world already and if someone could please assassinate Putin that would be a great start to making the world a better place. ps I haven't seen any recent postings from the ONE AND ONLY who really deserves an award, I hope all is well.
Cheers to all especially you "Yvonne McDonald", and all the others that try to help and to put a little humour into our lives, eh John and Mike - all guilty of having an overactive humerous bone.
Have I got anything wrong please let me know. Cheers all.

I started dieting when I was 12 years old. I wasn’t overweight but I felt pudgy and I wanted a new boy at school to like me. Somehow, I obtained a calorie counting book and quickly memorized it. Each day, I tried hard to reach my goal of eating a certain number of calories. It was well below what I needed to eat as a growing child, but I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just wanted to get rid of my squishy stomach and eat a little less.

We are a small team, in a small shop, so we have been looking at diversifying our operations so we can provide the same great service in front of shop, and get the donations sorted and priced out back in a timely manner, so our customers get to grab some awesome bargains. To do this, without overloading our already incredible crew, we are needing more Sorters, over most days of the week. If this sounds like your cup of tea, pop into the shop and collect an application form or email our Personnel Manager for the online application link:

Hi everyone,

My daughter is on the lookout for an egg chair that we can hang in her room to make a nice quiet reading space. She's saved up $250, so if you have one that you no longer use and would be interested in selling it to her that would be within her budget we would really love to hear from you. Given the space available in her room it would be ideal if it was one of the smaller sized ones (I've included a picture to show the type of ones that would fit and an example of the bigger ones that wouldn't). It doesn't have to come with its stand since we'll be hanging it inside.
Thanks so much,
Tanya :-)
