Christmas with Grandad

Colleen Hawkes Reporter from Homed

It's that time of year - we all get a little nostalgic for Christmas' past. My grandad wasn't exactly the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but he sure wanted it over and done with. Would love to hear your reminisces.

Amazing how the feeding bird flys in gives the baby the food and flies off in reverse before turning to go find some more food

Hi Tech[?] Scammers are at it again

Peter from Kamo

I was taking an afternoon nap, when my cell phone went off. After I picked up the call, a male computer generated voice said something like "hold a few seconds for a few more questions" and then a female computer generated voice began telling me that this was the IRD calling and that a … View moreI was taking an afternoon nap, when my cell phone went off. After I picked up the call, a male computer generated voice said something like "hold a few seconds for a few more questions" and then a female computer generated voice began telling me that this was the IRD calling and that a lawsuit had been filed against me for [whatever - I stopped listening at this point and hung up].
The computer generated voices were very high quality as far as that sort of thing goes.
So now some of the scammers don't even use call centres in India any more .... and, incidentally, this is the first time scammers have called my mobile phone. I'm used to them trying it on on the landline.

Wandering dogs

Rod from Maunu

Yesterday (Saturday 4/12) two dogs came onto our well fenced property on Pukenui Road and attacked or chooks. One dog is a large, bulky white pit bull type with no collar. The other is a big, black lean rotty type with very pointy ears and a white chest flash. Not sure about a collar.

The other is a big, black lean rotty type with very pointy ears and a white chest flash. Not sure about a collar. Council Dog Control tried hard but couldn’t catch them. You're allowed to shoot them on your property. Very bad news for kiwi in the bush behind us.
