Bought a packet of Pascall Explorers ( billed as "the coolest lollies around" ) from the supermarket as part of a mixture for a lolly cake.
The packet says e150g which I take to mean estimate of 150 gram inside packet.
Well the packet weighed in at 114 gram.
Pretty poor, eh?

Pascall's changed the name of the product from Eskimos to Explorers a short time ago.
Maybe I should email the company in Australia.

Compulsory/mandatory vaccinations will come eventually I am sure at least in many occupations and industries.
A legitimate vaccination and covid tested passport will be issued eventually and will need to be produced for entry to many places and transport.
The weight of believeable science and proof of success of covid vaccines are too great to deny any further.
Let's help each other (neighbourly) and ourselves by getting vaccinated. We have the best vaccine on the "market" and it's available free. It will combat to an effective degree all the known strains of the virus.

Cars
Coal
Cattle and cows.
Electric or at least hybrid vehicles are the answer. Government needs to do more to encourage the transition from petrol and diesel fueled vehicles where possible and cutting ALL taxes associated with car purchases would be a help to reduce those overinflated purchase costs.
Get rid of all coal usage and close all coal mines is something the Govt could enact.
The Govt should place more scientific resources into reducing the methane gases that cattle and cows emit. Encourage less consumption of beef is worthwhile. There are alternatives to cow's milk and pet food and treat products need not contain beef and beef by-products.
We as individuals in a small populated country might not be able to do much towards reducing climate change conditions but our Government can make a little difference on a world scale.

The panel member said people joining in would need to offer up their bank account number at which time Mills said that this seems dangerous and he wouldn't do it but the panel member reassured Mills it was all harmless and a lot of fun.
So I logged onto www.cogo.com... and it is a scam and a fraud and could do a lot of harm. Do not go into this website.
I have sent Rosie, the producer of this Newstalk ZB programme an email.

What are your thoughts on the hotel? Was it a good idea for the council to get involved?
