Warm and dry home with laid on tucker - for cockroaches!
"I wouldn’t be surprised if you found a cockroach in my ear", I said to Anne at the start of my consultation. Two years previously we had stayed in a motel in the South Island where there were lots of cockroaches running around. I woke one morning with a recollection that a cockroach had crawled into my ear during the night but dismissed my fears on the grounds that I was just dreaming.
Fortunately it wasn’t like an alien movie where it grew to extra large size and started to eat my brain or something and I forgot all about it as it was not causing any pain or discomfort. However, when I went to see Anne for my microsuction treatment some while later, much to my surprise Anne pulled out the body of a cockroach! I guess I didn’t dream it after all! So Anne can not only remove your earwax but large insects too!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
