Congratulations to our French Film Festival ticket winner
Barry Friend will be off to see a movie in French Film Festival in Hamilton, with the tickets he's won.
Barry's favourite phrase was 'comme ci, comme ça' (so-so). We had plenty of good suggestions, including 'quand les poules auront des dents' (literally 'When chickens have teeth', in English 'When pigs fly"), 'n'importe quoi' (whatever) and 'je ne sais quoi' (literally 'I don't know what', but means an appealing quality that cannot be adequately described or expressed).
Thanks all for your entries, and congratulations Barry.
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”

Poll: When do you shop the sales?

However, a marketing expert believes Boxing Day sales, long a staple of Kiwi life post-Christmas, is on the outer as Black Friday becomes more popular.
When do you shop the sales? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
