Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to Stephen Judd,
along with his friends, one rather thinks that twelve Billy Mavericks would have had a different effect. And if they hadn’t, that would hardly have been a loss.
The two guys proudly gave their names in the TV3 follow up piece: Sean Philip and Thomas Insel. If TV3 can track them down then I’m sure the NZ Police will have no problem

Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to James Dunne,
It’s the total lack of consequences that grates with me.
The police should prosecute these idiots for offensive behaviour – it’s a clear breach of s4 of the Summary Offences Act http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1981/0113/latest/DLM53500.html
Maybe a $1,000 fine might act as a deterrent.

English football ban racists and other undesirables from their stadiums. Laneway and all other promoters should do likewise and ban Sean Philip and Thomas Insel. Stick their photos up at the gate.

Depends on the board - some are much better than others.

Sounds like a job for Bike Grey Lynn https://www.facebook.com/bikegreylynn/ – identify every location in your ’burb where a bike stand would make sense, stick it on a map and let Auckland Transport know.
We did this at Bike Devonport https://www.facebook.com/groups/bikedevonport and to their credit Auckland Transport have done quite a few, Here’s our complete wish list https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z7PrlYcPLzrY.kQnfC_jNap7k&usp=sharing
AT added some stands to Whites Dairy (biggest ice creams in Auckland) – this would work for that blank wall at Westmere Butchery

Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?, in reply to Stuart Coats,
We have a full employment policy in comp. Each innings is 16 overs and everyone must bowl 2 overs. No ducks, compulsory retirement at 25 plus the last batsmen gets a runner means you almost always get a bat no matter how awful you are.

Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?, in reply to Hilary Stace,
Start your own league. We did at out local cricket club: 6 weeks from Feb to mid March, 6pm to 8pm on Wed nights. 8 a side, no pads, soft(er) balls, no lbw, 3 step max run up, must retire at 25, no pitch required just some painted lines on the local footy ground. We now have 8 teams of creaky, old men actually playing the game instead of just talking about it. Club gets 60 new members and $500 a week extra bar revenue.

As I understand it there's no provision for a bus way on the expanded NW motorway - just shoulder lanes. Given the success of the North Shore busway and that the NW is planned to have major greenfields development this seems kind of dumb.
