Cherry Blossom Festival Matangi

I wonder if they considered the three years of hard work the owners out into making their property ready for this festival. Did they realise that they were putting over 300 catering, entertainment, ground and driving staff out of work for a week? They have also disappointed over 3000 members of the public from enjoying a day out and cost them part of their fee. They also managed to put the promotional company out of business and into liquidation. Why did you not go on holiday for that week if peace and quiet is so important to you? I hope you can compensate the owners in some way for the chaos and disruption you have caused.

Hi neighbours - what'd you think of the All Blacks vs. South Africa game on Saturday night?

Some All Blacks supporters have expressed disgust that Springboks fans sang loudly during the All Blacks' first haka at the World Cup, even though this isn't uncommon. What are your thoughts?
