    @catogrande Miss TR at 9 is already doing my head in with moods and attitude, so looking forward to her teen years... 😢

    TR Jnr, when not giving in to his sisters antagonizing, is turning into a great kid.

    With babies, you just do what you gotta do, formula, breast feed, go for a walk and leave them at home screaming...no matter what anyone tells you, you are never really prepared for how tough those first months are!

    It's also about creating habits early too, with feeding, playing, sleeping

    @taniwharugby Yep. And being tough with boundaries really early on. No good comes from kid ruling the roost, and it only gets worse as they get older.

    @mokey we were always big on making sure kids were in bed at a set time every night (my kids still go to bed at 7, but read or whatever - no electronics - until 8 ) so even if they only slept for 2 hours or so before needing feeding or whatever, it gave us some time to ourselves and that is hugely important.

    If you're a fat fluffybunny passing through Palmy and need a shit sounds like it might be best to hold on or defecate out on the street.....

    I think my favourite line is this one....

    'They were embarrassed national and international teamsĀ coming in January to compete to qualify for the world championships in Wellington would take away a poor impression of the city, based on the loos'

    I don't think the most spacious, fresh smelling, pristine toilet on earth could possibly come close to creating a decent impression of Palmy.

    The irony of having Hardman as a surname and being such a pussy.

    The shitters in the virke play music from memory. Is this still the case?

    @mn5 I covered 6000kms in less than 2 months in NZ. I don't apologise for not remembering much about the shitters in the 'virke.

    On the contrary, I had to go there for a funeral and it was far and away the highlight of the trip.

    @taniwharugby Now why is it that this report is on Stuff but I've seen nothing of it here in the UK? Hats off to the Stuff journos, boldly going...

    @taniwharugby You'll be pleased to know that the BBC have finally caught up with Stuff. Front page now.

    There must be something they're not saying here. Otherwise this is ridiculous

    I’m not sure why the media give this feral such a free ride, I actually think her and her idiot behaviour are counterproductive as far as getting public sympathy and opinion behind medical marijuana.

    I have failed myself! I decided to read what I thought would be light-hearted comments about a light-hearted peice.

    How someone could be so serious in response baffles me.
