Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

Who else has been glued to their TV cheering on the Kiwis vying for the return of the elusive America's Cup to New Zealand shores?

It's so exciting - I'm absolutely loving it - so much so - those early mornings to catch the racing are not fazing me at all.

As I'm writing this, Team New Zealand has won four from four - so there's a real feeling of optimism in the Kaio family.

Yep, it's time to pull the red socks out of the sock drawer.

But I'm also reminding myself of 2013 - and that truly devastating but remarkable 8-1 comeback by Jimmy Spithill's Oracle team.

That certainly took me a while to get over.

So, while I'm definitely not counting my chickens yet, I'll still be wearing my red socks in my slippers for those early mornings cheering at the TV next week.

Come on Team New Zealand - we've got this!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

“You Do You” Bevan Mical

Bevan from Ngatea

“You Do You” is the New Single from Bevan Mical.

It really is simple, hence the line drawn cover art. It's a wrap up of 2024 & a big goodbye to the type of people (mostly men) who make this life harder for all of us.

“You Do You” will be streaming everywhere from 29th November
