We're not saying 'Ka kite' to 'Kia ora' but let's challenge ourselves a little more for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori...

Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

If you're a fan of chocolate, we have five blocks of Whittakers Miraka Kirīmi tiakarete to give away. Whether long or short, simply share your show-off phrase below to be in to win. (Winners randomly drawn and notified on Mon, 18th Sept).

Can you solve The Hard Word?

The Team from Stuff

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.

Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…

Does anyone know anything about this????

Steve from Casebrook

This sign appeared on the footpath at the entrance to Sonia Place, Casebrook on Monday midmorning. As you can see it gives a Day and a Half notice of the closure of Sonia Place.

As you can see it gives a Day and a Half notice of the closure of Sonia Place. The number on the sign is for Wilson Signs who produced it for HEB Construction. When HEB was contacted the young lady was unable to give any information about it. Looking at the Council site it shows Royleen St, Marlene St, Sonia Place and Penelope Place are due to be resurfaced in the coming year.
At no time has there been any communication from either the council or HEB Construction regarding any planned roadwork in the area.
The closure means there will be no traffic allowed into or out of the affected area from the 6th (today ) until the 22nd - this includes Tradesmen coming to do a job, Grocery deliveries, Couriers etc.
Is this another instance of the arrogance and lack of communication by our City Council as well as their appointed Contractors?
