Could all those who live in the Matai Street - Kauri Terrace - Pine Cresent area please do a walk around your yard and make sure you have no wasp nests or holes.
They seem to be getting rather prolific around here again.

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

I see Stuff has followed up on my suggestion , somehow facetious keeps cropping up in my head , tracked down the real hotel and Keith Austin has written an article about it opening.
www.stuff.co.nz... . Click the link to the article ..
I know 450 to 700 mill might be beyond the ILT budget for this but perhaps if i started drinking again that might help.. ?
Amazing hotel so please take a minute ( or two ) to read the article and any donations so I can go and stay there a night or three will be gratefully received.

True Detective S3 is turning out to be every bit as good as season 1 which starred Matthew McConaughey, & Woody Harrelson.

Nic Pizzolatto sure knows how to spin a story and along with the cinematography probably makes this the best viewing on TV at the moment.
Mahershala Ali and British actress Carmen Ejogo along with the rest of the cast are well worth the close watch not to miss the subtle clues on offer. Plenty of suspects but I am not saying who I suspect so as not to spoil it for anyone else. For those not watching " the butler did it " is not an option.
