1263..... That is bloody hilarious.

What a wonderful thing to do. Thank you Rose. I also thought that the council were going to buy a couple of swan's or am I mistaken. Now all we have to do is fine these people that allow their dogs to run wild, but how to enforce it that's another matter.

( Piratkev )  Yes it is a shame, but when and if caught what do you think they would get as punishment? This country is way to easy on crime.

I for one don't understand the accolades about the "orange army" true they are working hard and getting paid a very good wage with all the overtime and working at the weekends. However i do agree with Fred. This is a cash cow for some and i don't blame them for taking full advantage of it. Last Sunday i took a walk down Marine Parade and was truly amazed to see one workman shovelling balsast and ...

Of course one could feel for them but this is a life they have chosen, it was not forced on them. Locals know who they are and normallly give them a wide berth. I like you tried to befriend one of them, now when they see me they try and hit me up for money and when I say no they use plenty of expletives don't be fooled.

Somedays there ...

Huw, do you think it's to late now?

The vendetta against you David is the fact you KNEW what you were doing. When i voluteered for the carnival it seemed to me to be poorly organised. I would volunteer again if i knew David Force was involved.  If i remember but not sure that David Force was getting flak from some family members over this. I agree with user 4549....................... I for one Vote for David Force. He is an ...

I wonder why volunteers have not come forward. I volunteered two years ago for the carnival and for the air show and my opinion on how it was organised was just massive confusion. It seemed to me that there were two many cheifs but many Indians looking for guidence and information as to what is required of them. I do realise that the cost from tax payer money has to be used for policeing and that ...
