Lou in the News

[Krayy]

I was reading through todays Harold (actually I just look at the pictures), and there's a rant from Lou in Sideswipe about the motorway signalling.

Looks like it's his shout

It's not the first time there's been a Lou-rant in the paper!
That noisy bugger.

Herald, Listener... you just can't get away from the guy. When will he learn to keep his opinions to himself?

Good onya Lou.

Heres the story, or go to the link..

Lou Girardin writes: "The new traffic signals on the motorway onramps will certainly reduce congestion if they're all like the Wellington St examples. The flash of green light is so brief, a mere nanosecond in time, that the two leading cars I saw managed to roll less than a metre before the light was red again. Does Transit NZ realise that your average driver needs at least five seconds to wake up, realise the light is green, check for red light runners (I know there isn't an intersection there, but the habit is ingrained now), put the car into gear and drive on?"

I'm sorry all I saw was this and couldn't stop laughing

Further to the report on the statue of athlete Alan Elliot, a reader writes: "An elderly friend, well into his 80s, recalls that when he was stationed in Auckland during the war, he and his mates thought it was very risqué to check out the statue when it was raining and note the dribble trickling down from the statue's penis."
