Cannabis could soon be sold and grown legally in New Zealand, but in Christchurch it seems there is little rush to immerse the city's bars, cafes and shops in a new drug culture.

Duck Shooting

Carol from Redwood

To the ignorant duck shooter who thinks its ok to start firing your gun at 6.40am on a Saturday morning thanks very much. Should not be tolerated in a built up suburban area. HOW RUDE AND VERY ANNOYING. Go have your sick fun somewhere else. Some people actually like sleeping.

Small to medium sized dog.

Hiya neighbours. I lost my best friend & companion beginning of last year & I have been lonely without her and I think its time that maybe I should be looking for another furry friend.

I lost my best friend & companion beginning of last year & I have been lonely without her and I think its time that maybe I should be looking for another furry friend. Jess was an English Springer Spaniel & quite biggish, but I've had cocker spaniels in the past and I would like to get another (or similar) as a smaller dog would suit my lifestyle better these days :) I have a private and well-fenced house in Kaiapoi.
If anyone can help or advise me would be appreciated. Thanks to all, Lynda W.
