Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

Thieft at Woolworth.

I talked to the so called secuity guards and they said they can't do anything. So what about calling the police? No, they won't come. So with all these cameras, secuity guards and face recognitions which would cost a fortune for the supermarkets, it still doesn't stop some criminals from stealing.... It just amazed me how easy it is for somebody to do this. If I was a big strong man I would have tackeld him, but I'm not, and wouldn't stand a chance. I do hope they report it to the police and have CTV cameras so they can catch him.

Breathe new life into your spare bedroom

If your #spareroom is more dumping ground than inviting retreat, fear not. Here are some simple styling tricks to freshen up the space and welcome guests in style.

Start with a thorough declutter 📦
The first step is to make the space feel like an actual bedroom. Remove items that don’t belong in your spare room.

Re-house objects you use on a regular or semi-regular basis and find them a new home where they’re used.

Consider putting luggage 🧳 or #festivedecorations in deep storage such as the garage or attic.

Take this opportunity to air out your spare bedroom and run bedding through the wash.

When it comes to items you no longer need or use, but are still in good condition, look to #repurpose, #rehome or #recycle them.

Pull out the paintbrush 🖌️
If your spare room is looking a little drab, there’s no faster or easier way to give it a fresh new feel than with a lick of paint.

Add little touches of luxury 🕯️ 📖
A few carefully considered additions to your spare room will make overnight guests feel truly special - soft towels in different sizes at the end of the bed, a posy of pretty flowers by the bedside, a scented candle, a mobile phone charger, and a good book.

"Five extremely gifted Dutch gents who almost made the reed quintet seem the best musical format on the planet.” (The Times)

Acclaimed for virtuosic playing, brilliant arrangements, and innovative stage presentation, Calefax is a classical ensemble with a pop mentality.

The programme features a blend of classical compositions that will transport you through time and across cultures. From the intricate harmonies of Bach’s Baroque masterpiece to Schubert’s Romantic lyricism, and the jazzy rhythms of Gershwin’s iconic ‘An American in Paris’. Calefax, hailing from the Netherlands, are thrilled to be performing the world premiere of a newly CMNZ-commissioned work from award-winning New Zealand composer Rosie Langabeer.
