"Continuing with the Christmas theme, this seems like a face only a mother could love. Like somehow evolution decided to put the turkey's guts on the outside of his neck, and what even is that dangly appendix bit between his eyes? Wiki says the longer your snood the more likely you are to successfully mate. No wonder he looks grumpy with all that going on on his face (although that could also be the time of year - December and American accents are known to cause extreme stress to his species). Male turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in full sail. Staglands."

Tickets start from $30, and the two shows will take place at 2.30pm & 7:30pm on February 27 2021 at the Michael Fowler Centre.

With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

It is proposing to revoke the current bylaw, and instead manage brothels through our District Plan. We’re keen to hear your views on the proposal.

Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason … View moreHi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.
What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?
If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
