| 746444 | 2009-02-10 06:20:00 | Would that be "Cow Cockies" Jen? :lol: Ken Yes cockies is a term used for sheep farmers. I was raised on a sheep farm and the term was used quite frequently, so too me the title of this post could of been misleading, but as I saw the item on TV last night I new what the poster was on about. :) |

| 746446 | 2009-02-10 07:27:00 | Do they understand cleanliness over there or what? Go down to your nearest hospital and ask whether they are free of cockroaches. You probably wouldn't get an honest answer. |

| 746448 | 2009-02-10 10:28:00 | Cockroaches are actually quite common if I look hard enough in my garden. They not infrequently get into my dog's food bowl. Usually my dog eats any insects he could catch, but for some reason he stays away from the roaches. Oh, did I tell you I have a mild roach phobia? I remember the much, much bigger ones in Indonesia that will sometimes crawl up the bathroom hole and run amok in the bathroom....when I see one my mother said I would scream like a little girl and think she has a daughter and not a son for a second. |

| 746450 | 2009-02-10 20:43:00 | Yes we all get cockroaches, I do and I went to a party at an immaculate million dollar house and there was one there. But that house sickened me, there was rubbish and food particles everywhere ! Housing NZ should give him one weeks warning and then kick him out. Why should we pay taxes to a loser like that ? Why didn't the reporter Barbara (islander) Dreaver have the courage / sense to ask him why he does not keep our house clean and tidy ? Is he on the DPB ? If so he has plenty of time to clean the place up and look after his kids. Is he on the DPB ? If so, he should not be, he should get a job and get someone to look after his kids. |

| 746451 | 2009-02-11 01:17:00 | Yes we all get cockroaches Speak for yourself. I have never had a cockroach in any house I have lived in in my entire life. In fact I don't think I have ever seen a cockroach before, other than in a museum. |

FoxyMX does not live in Hawkes Bay" We have the large "Gisborne" cockies that apparently arrived in Gisborne in a load of timber and have migrated over the last few decades. We have to spray for the yearly, especially if you have bark gardens or a firewood pile. Ken :thumbs: |
