One of the best things about winter is having mates around to catch up over some hearty snacks and the entertainment of a big game.

Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and impossible to fail Harvati quiche.

NPDC and SouthTaranaki Rate Payers have top take seriously the ramifications of carrying on paying for the Yarrows Stadium Deficience's.

NZ Rugby is a Professionally, highly paid and renumerated operation nowadays. They themselves are all about big money and Big Sponsorship deals. Rate-Payers have to be stopped being manipulated for money,  for a lost way of life, that finished years back, when RUGBY especially, became a professional sport. The Amateur Code, unpaid and for the honour,  has long been gone and buried. Professional Rugby Sponsorship is nothing to do with the Rate-Payers. It is way outside the Local Government Act. Then to add insult to injury, to suggest that business pay 6 times more than a residential rate payer has to, is plain ridiculous.  That is theft, no way how you want to dress it up. Why for Gods sake are they singled out? Are these people, in places of control, in our Councils, even have a clue what they are actually wanting? Have they distorted reality that much that they are believing their own B.S. spin? No more, I stress, no more rate-payers  money must go to this act of stupidity. For once I agree with Councillor Gordon Brown and his recent article in the Daily News. . Their are many, many more sports and groups that are or have a better entitlement to this call up of rate payers funds that this group of now grossly over paid sports people, re" Pro Rugby Players" and the" Over Paid Administrators". Lets not forget them, the parasites always on the edges! Making the spin, PR  game up for a system that keeps them well employed. If they, "Rugby Pro's "want this so bad, lets see them put their own hands in THEIR pockets first and the start fund raising for the job, as it should be. Do not again take from people that seem to have no unified voice of protest, at this blatant theft! ENOUGH!

The Beginning

Kara Northcott from Heart In Diamond

I discovered Heart In Diamond after the tragic loss of a friend's husband. I perfectly remember the personal white and yellow diamonds that she had created from her late husbands ashes and the hair from herself and their two children.

I discovered Heart In Diamond after the tragic loss of a friend's husband. I perfectly remember the personal white and yellow diamonds that she had created from her late husbands ashes and the hair from herself and their two children.
The thought of being able to commemorate a loved one, by means of turning their hair or ashes into a diamond was truly captivating.

Superannuation Age

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

I see there is a poll on at moment. See no reason to increase age at this stage at least. I think we should first increase eligibility time from 10 to 20 years at least for new immigrants. Why should people who have perhaps contributed for 40 plus years be disadvantaged because of the governments … View moreI see there is a poll on at moment. See no reason to increase age at this stage at least. I think we should first increase eligibility time from 10 to 20 years at least for new immigrants. Why should people who have perhaps contributed for 40 plus years be disadvantaged because of the governments immigration policy. I suspect many of these same people are also hogging our health system at the expense of long term residents.
