Do you recycle your long-life milk cartons?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Did you know long-life milk cartons can't be recycled in New Zealand? There is no company which recycles them within the country, so the majority of them end up in the landfill. Although Auckland and Christchurch accept the cartons for recycling, they are send offshore.

I am looking for someone to fill a commission only sales position. The person would work as a self-employed contractor and set their own hours.

The position has great potential for a good residual income. We have a number of marketing strategies that you can employ.

I am the owner of Video and Small Business Services, looking to help offline businesses get up and running with an online presence. For those who have a website and don't know how to use it effectively, we offer great marketing solutions. We also create mobile apps and many more products and services.

Anyone wanting to apply for the position, will be self-motivated, have plenty of initiative and a smart appearance, their own laptop or tablet, and their own vehicle. Sales experience is not a requirement but would be an advantage. Likewise, an understanding of how things work online would also be useful but not essential.

If this sounds like you, send your cv to ray@videoandsmallbusinessservices.com with a note telling me why you are the best person for the position. I will get back to successful applicants to arrange an interview.

This is for those of you who do this and I see plenty while out there driving. Please be responsible as you only have one life and so does everyone else on the road near you.

'I have to get that, if I don't reply right now they may think I don't like them anymore' ' oh no what if they think I'm upset or mad with them?'
'If I don't reply they may never want talk to me again'. 'One text won't hurt, I should be ok to do this, just pray the next light is red... oh it's green'. 'Well no one is watching, it's just a quick text anyway'. 'Phew, done
Beep beep.. ding!
'Oh no a text and Facebook' 'if I don't reply fast they may think they have offended me or maybe they will go out without me' ...'I had better reply
And if I don't like the post someone just put up on FB then they may not like my post, I have to be liked.... it's so important!!'
'What!. My phone, where is it?? .. and why is everything so quiet?..Where am I? I have to like that post, it's really important!!'

A fake dog control officer is dishing out notices from a book of council forms that went missing in mysterious circumstances.

Several dog owners living in a rural Hawke's Bay area received the paperwork on Hastings District Council letterheads last week.

The notices, written by a Dog Control Officer named 'Sam', refer to breeds of dogs that the people do own and states that they were on the road and unregistered.

All of which is false. Hastings District Council would like to hear from anyone else who has received forms noted as being from the fictitious 'Sam'.
