Poll: $1000 to drive a scooter into the water

One Auckland daredevil took on a challenge to drive a Lime e-scooter directly into the harbour. With $1000 on the table, he gladly accepted the bet. The video posted to social media shows the shirtless stuntman powering down a wharf and steering straight off the edge, plunging into the water metres below.

Burger King stinking up Auckland neighbourhood

Fiona from Henderson

Apart from living near a sewage treatment plant, I couldn't think of anything worse that the vile smell of (burnt) cooking oil 24/7.

Apart from living near a sewage treatment plant, I couldn't think of anything worse that the vile smell of (burnt) cooking oil 24/7.
I have lived near a rubbish tip many years ago and believe me it smelled 'sweeter' than the horrendous pungent odours that are emitted from any fast food place.
KFC is up there as one of the worst, then McDonald's and followed very closely by most other fast food places.
There should be a law (either nationwide or locally) that you can't have them placed in such close proximity to residential areas, nor should they be operational 24/7.
No one should be held prisoner in their own home by the revolting odours floating around all day.
the days of hanging out your washing in the fresh breeze will be gone forever and as this gentleman mentioned, so will be sitting on your back porch or deck or back yard.
Something has to be done to stop the hideous smells from permeating into our lives.!!!!

Frustration With Pool Covers, where to buy them?

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone, just a quick message. I brought one of those bestway 10 foot round pools a while back. Now I am in searching to find a pool cover for my pool at home. I went to Mega Mitre 10 Lincoln Road to get one which was advertised online. The lady I spoke to said that the ones they had were … View moreHi everyone, just a quick message. I brought one of those bestway 10 foot round pools a while back. Now I am in searching to find a pool cover for my pool at home. I went to Mega Mitre 10 Lincoln Road to get one which was advertised online. The lady I spoke to said that the ones they had were left of the 10ft pool covers were at another store called Hauraki Ranges. They apparently had 9-10 in stock. Too far to travel plus I don't have a car. I went to Para Rubber to enquire the same thing. I received a answer phone message yesterday saying that they had completely ran out of the 10ft covers for these pools as well.

This does not make sense to me. You buy the pool but the pool cover of your size pool in not in West Auckland or in another part of the country. Very silly in my mind. All well, gonna buy a tarpaulin for the pool. Has anyone had similar issues with pools or pool covers as such?
