Exciting to see the MoreFM clock/temperature display coming down.
Looking forward to seeing the new display the Lions are installing.
Have you missed looking up to see the temperature and time as you drive by?
The Government is proposing a suite of rental law changes part of which would make it easier for renters to own pets.
Have you ever had to choose between a pet and a property?

Books are competing with television and computer screens for our leisure time, and 45-54 year olds had the lowest percentage reading of any age group. The study also found that fewer Kiwi men are reading books.
Which book do you recommend a guy grab next time he's passing the library or scrolling through Kindle?

We’re fortunate here in Marlborough to have the skilled and dedicated Marlborough emergency response team (the MERT).
Next month, MERT members will start their training in ground-based rescue. This will give us more capability to support other rescue agencies in an emergency, particularly if our region is isolated. If you’re interested in volunteering for the MERT or any other role in civil defence, please get in touch!

Parents and caregivers have until August 31 to have their say about the timebands, parental locks and classifications labels that help to protect what their children watch on free-to-air television.
Hundreds of people have already given their feedback about whether there should still be restrictions around when certain programmes, including Adults Only, can be broadcast on free-to-air television.
Options being considered include removing all of the timeband restrictions, altering them, or keeping them the same.
The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) is also considering whether free-to-air television should adopt the same classification labels as pay television to provide consistency. It would mean switching from G (General), PGR (Parental Guidance Recommended) and AO (Adults Only) to G, PG, M (Mature), 16 and 18.
Find out more by visiting bsa.govt.nz.
Feedback can be given via a short online survey, by emailing info@bsa.govt.nz or by writing to Broadcasting Standards Authority, PO Box 9213, Wellington 6141.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.
Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!
Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!
Hi there currently doing a bus conversion and wondering if anyone out there has some spare or surplus pinkbatts. Not fussy if pink green or yellow but all options considered.
Thanks for reading

Does anyone have any ideas what to do with the brown paper bags that some supermarkets supply these days. I know they can be put out for recycling but does anyone use them again for something else?

They play a decent mix, so if you have a huge aerial tune in and give it a listen.
I would love to have a chat with those responsible for our own BBC, so let me know if you have any further info about these radio-heads!
