Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

Paddy Gower seeks âbloody great Cantabâ
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the countryâs biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
âBasically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
âI will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.â
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gowerâs live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaretâs College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
âIâm ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.â
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - âI will make your views countâ, he said.
âI'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.â
