Reddy, Steady, Stop

Michael from Trentham

Gov Gen Dame Patsy Reddy has completed a 5 year term and is set to hand over to her successor.
Will Reddy be the second to last representative of British royalty in NZ?
The NZ GG gets to choose her own coat of arms and I note Reddy's version. Perhaps her successor, Dame Cindy Ciro will choose a couple of Pembroke Corgis to adorn her coat of arms instead of NZ native or resident birds which would both please me and Queen Elizabeth quite substantially.

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT

Michael from Trentham

Set the scene:

CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.

Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.

Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.

Gave me a laugh.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
