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.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
