Smokies: TOO MUCH CHRISTMAS SPIRIT?

Saturday 27 December 2014 | Published in Smoke Signals

It is a disgrace to see people too drunk to go home and sleep! Especially when you know they have a wife and small child at home. No wonder we are labelled the world champions of binge drinking.

Smokies: rugby sevens

Tuesday 23 December 2014 | Published in Smoke Signals

Reading the newspaper on Friday about codes that will travel to PNG for SPG, what makes me angry is that the rugby 7s are not going. You have had the last four years to fundraise, also this will be a good chance for our local boys, wake up CIRU.

Smokies: Waste of money!

Saturday 20 December 2014 | Published in Smoke Signals

What a waste of money. Another election for Aitutaki. Here we go again, tax money gone. Why can’t we give the win to the Demos? Simple and it doesn’t cost us any money.
