Humour

The paint is barely dry on the new Onetangi Straight speed limit signs and already a big off. A car travelling east along the straight failed to take the corner at the end, slid across the road and through the fence. Once again hearty congratulations must go out to Rebecca Potts, Antony Yates, Councillor Roach, Board members Ray Ericson, Tony Sears, Nobilangelo Cedramalus, Eileen Evans and Herb Raomaniuk for their forward thinking, not to mention the loss of driver license testing.

Congratulations also go out to the Police, I saw my first sight of a Police Car on the straight in 7 years yesterday. It doesn’tmatter what the speed limit is, those that speed know they won’t get caught. I tried to report the accident by calling Waiheke Police. I was greeted with “You have reached the Police voicemail system, if you know the extension you want, dial it now” Police Fail.

Dear Marketplace

To quote Jo Holmes “Much of this will be in today’s Marketplace and the whole of Gulf (Green) News will be full of it tomorrow”

It is apparent that the Waiheke Marketplace” has aligned itself with Jo Holmes and cannot be impartial. To combat your vile tribe entering my house I will be installing one of these on my letterbox.

Fay Storer was hit with a bad batch of Natural Glow, it’s millions of tiny luminous spheres apparently flared out the photographers lens.

It has been a terrible winter for illness on Waiheke Island. The latest Flu Epidemic has been widespread with large numbers sporting red noses.

Too good not to share. Rodney Hide is The Hood
