God Save The Queen
It certainly seems that Elizabeth The 2nd, Queen of Great Britain & Northern Ireland and NZ among others, is ailing at a rather rapidly increasing pace.
Many people in the UK and NZ are hoping for her modernistic and capable grandson William to immediately be transformed to next in succession and take over the role occupied by the Queen. But it looks obvious Charles and Camilla will become King and Queen any day now.
NZ is already a country with both sides of its political aisle looking to dispense with royalty as the head of state and proclaim a republic with an elected president mirrowing to a great extent what a British King or Queen embodies in NZ.
And so the dour, slightly off key and tainted (re Diana) Charles with his unglamorous wife would hasten both NZ (and Australia) becoming republics within the Commonwealth of Nations, do the John Key-thing and fashion a new NZ-own flag and also most likely offically recognise Aotearoa as NZ's number one nation-recognised title.
For me, whoever has at least one Pembroke Corgi they call their own at either Buckingham Palace or Government House gets my support.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT
Set the scene:
CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.
Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.
Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.
Gave me a laugh.
