NBLY Conversations: What is the etiquette for bin day?
We think there are unspoken rules for bin day, but are we adhering to the same ones?
Do you think twice about dragging your bin to the pavement in the early hours? Do you mind if neighbours put excess rubbish in your bin? Share your bin day etiquette and let's compare notes!

MOA NO MORE
Maori hunted the Moa into oblivion.
There were at keast several types of Moa some giant size towering well above humans - more than twice the he8ight, other Moa were not much bigger than Kiwi.
What I cannot understand why there seems no record of Maori keeping a Moa or two as pets.
Moa were quite harmless fligjtless birds.
I see other races in other parts of the world had .made pets from otherwise lethal animals from crocodiles to elephants from snakes to lions from eagles to emus.
Perhaps we would have moa still with us today if Maori who had dogs as pets, had looked to tame some moa.
REWARD AND NO REWARD
TV One has two regular sub programmes that rewards ndividual do-gooders with a $10,000 payment to do whatever with or simply pocket. The recipients also reap promotion and publicity for their particular charitable etc work. wanted or not. The other gives nothing but a spot on television and perhaps assitance of publicity and promotion.
In many programmes I have watched of the latter the difference between the money winners and the no-money winners is blurred beyond reason. I sit there thinking why didn't that person feature on the other programme and receive a sponsored cash reward?
Shame on TV One.
