MANUREWA RSA NOTICE We SOLD the property (land & buildings) in May 2018. The Manurewa RSA is still a full member of Clubs NZ and RNZRSA. We have used the proceeds of the sale to secure the future of WELFARE for the members and service/ex-service personnel and their whanau. We are an 'RSA without Borders'. We will continue to assist all those who approach us for remembrance and comradeship (welfare). We WILL NOT be going back into the Bar/Restaurant or Gambling business. Our focus is on support services as per the RNZRSA motto 'People helping People'. We have started a Drop In centre for members in the Freyberg Lounge. The door will be open and there will be members here. Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays 10 am to 3 pm for tea, coffee and a chat. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to belong to an RSA and its values. The subscription costs are low to reflect that we do not have the other revenue streams. The cost is just to cover the capitation we pay to other entities and also a little administration (cards/compliance etc). We welcome applications for membership but if you choose not to belong to us that does not stop our commitment to helping veterans with their entitlements. We have support service advisors on hand to assist with any queries about Veterans Affairs, ACC or entitlements attributable to service. Read our January Newsletter which is published on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Manurewa-RSA-1469137590053064 Due to the recent Manurewa RSA rule changes, we are however asking all existing members to refill in a membership form so that we might maintain the accuracy of our contact database. Looking forward to meeting all our existing and potentially new members.

Fainting canine: Emma Clayton and Oliver Broomhead of Sheffield, England, have a unique dog in their family. The cocker spaniel named Peter has a rare condition in which his muscles tense up, causing him to fall over. This happens when he gets excited about something, such as chasing ducks and squirrels. The couple has taken the dog to many veterinarians and animal specialists, but the condition continues to be a mystery. They assure onlookers who witness Peter's fainting spells that he does not appear to be in any pain and that he comes out of it just fine, with tail wagging. Wacky car rentals: When people rent vehicles or use a carsharing service, the logical reason for doing so is to travel from one location to another. However, car rental agencies in Japan found that some customers were putting very little mileage on their rented car and they wanted to find out why. It turns out that people have many more reasons for renting a vehicle than simply driving somewhere. Renters were using vehicles to take a nap, eat lunch, get work done on their laptops, or make phone calls. They do so because car rentals are usually affordable and provide a quiet space. Odd name: A couple from Indonesia gave their baby boy a unique and unusual name: Google. Parents Andi Cahya Saputra and Ella Karina decided to give their child a technology-related name with the idea that he would grow up helping others. At first, their friends and relatives wondered about the decision, some thinking that the couple's hidden agenda was to get compensation from the technology giant. However, that was not the case and the name eventually started to grow on their friends. Baby Google does not have a middle or surname. Good-looking goat: Who would have thought that a goodlooking goat could garner widespread attention? That's what happened when Ahmad M Fadzir of Perak in Malaysia posted photos of his newly purchased goat, Ramos, on social media. The goat is so cute, with his goatee beard and blonde bangs, that the photos went viral. Ramos seems to love being a celebrity and even appears to pose for the camera with a smile on his face. A few people asked Fadzir if he would sell Ramos, but he declined. Instead, he offered them another goat from his herd.

Don’t argue with someone about whether they know the lyrics to every Lorde song, because they’ll suggest ging down to the tennis court and talking it out like xylophone. What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
