In the Wairarapa there is a cluster fly epidemic this year. They are terribly difficult to get rid of and some people will say almost impossible. They come in their thousands.

It could be the the highly rated Fig Tree Cafe in Heretaunga/Thentham has had a cluster fly problem.
I am certain that the management of Fig Tree will do whatever it takes to rid the fly problem that they have or had.
If you want to really see or experience flies then try Perth or anywhere along that coastline in Australia. There they have fly sandwiches so called because any food consumed outside can attract hundreds if not thousands of flies.
As for the report by a Neighbourly member that a Fig Tree employee said the management didn't care about any fly problem - what nonsense. Go figure.

Have you ever struggled with a noisy neighbour? How did you manage the situation? Should there be a Sunday morning noise ban? Maybe you'd like New Zealand neighbourhoods to be more like they were 'back in the day' with quiet Sunday mornings - or even a day of rest. What noise do you find the hardest to cope with? Have your say below.

Sorry to say that last night I picked up a large bunny off the road at the bottom of the Maoribank Hill. I put it on the grass berm in front of the large house at the bottom of Cruickshank Rd. Very sorry if this is your beloved pet

This was enacted as part of an agreement and a set of circumstances between all the contracted rugby players in NZ and their franchises and the NZRFU.
So SBW took the opportunity to thread-in the charity organisation"Plunket" on both sides of the collar of his Blues jersey which means he is promoting Plunket.
The irony is that the principal sponsor of Plunket is none other that the BNZ which is one of the two sponsors that SBW discarded from his playing jersey.
SBW says he has nothing against the BNZ other than the interest fees the bank imposes but the Plunket connection with the bank still gave me a bit of a laugh.
