I love Quaywe, it took me a day to work out your name... kway-wer, kewie-yoooer...


I smunkle daily that you still sign off as Kiwi to ensure that we recognise the wit ;-)


Georgia, that was naughty. We use humour to blunt the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. It doesn't mean that we don't care. I'm going to tell your mum.

On another note, how can we go off topic on a Kiwi soapbox? Surely it's all about pointing at the man with the funny hair whilst we slap our shoulders for our rationality? One should never throw tomatoes with righteousness, that way goes David Koresh.


Talking tomatoes, my problems this year were that they were too small and my girlfriend proved how sweet they were by eating them all. Quaywe, what solution do you propose?

The most irritating thing about the cricket isn't that we (deservedly) lost: it's that just as I was actually starting to enoy watching a sport on tv (for a change) - over the last 5 years - it's now been sucked into Rupert Murdochs Empire of Evil.

If I've got to mount a plastic dish on my house and pay a costly subscription just so see (what's supposed to be!) one of our national games then I'd rather do without.. out of sight, out of mind.

Hand it back - you should be overjoyed that his initial generosity gave you two years of free tunes and not begrudge that his change in fortune means that he'd like it returned. Frankly I'd have offered it back before he even asked, comfortable in the notion that he trusted me not to trash it, and I delivered on the promise!


We shouldn't spend our lives prowling in our mates' footsteps, hoping that we can catch them out linguistically and snatch their hard-earned posessions for ourselves!! Don't try and keep it - prove yourself a worthy recipient of other people's trust!

Dear Quaywe


You've got to ask yourself: what's more important, the stereo or your friendship, or your principles? Sounds like you can't have it all. If you don't even need the stereo, give it back. If you need the friendship, give it back but tell him he's tight and cheeky and see what happens ha ha.

Gift-wrap the stereo with a ribbon and bow on top. Thank him profusely for being so kind as to let you have the use of it for two years, but say that you understand that 'all good things must come to end, sooner or later'. Wave him off with a teary hanky - tightarse that he is.

    • Another review for Iain and Paul who came again, this time to refurbish the back of my front door. A wonderful job, and such lovely people too!  
    • To add, Ultimately the problems and remedial action go back to the landlord and the agents (Foxtons in this case) have to refer everything back to the landlord and get the landlord's consent to act, including instructing trades to undertake repairs. The landlord may be the underlying problem. Suggest use the above links and escalate, including sending written notices to both the agents and landlord direct. The landlord details should be stated in the tenancy agreement. For complaints / faults, make sure you have a written record including follow up in writing / email on all calls.
    • Absolutely mental what Labour have become/are doing  because I’m me - I am going to say, it was the denial of reality that was the 2016 referendum, the genuflection of it ever since and the aggressive behaviour of the right wing press ever since that have cowed weak, spineless politicians  Until them at shibboleth is defeated, we can replace governments and leaders as much as we want - won’t make a tack of difference  we are in bizarro world since 2016 - only the electorate recognising that vocally will we see improvements  without that, every government, party and leader will be in hock to fantasists  (there are things govts can do regardless of Brexit. Of course there are. But the root - the root problem - will continue to infect)
