Dear Editor,

So this has been bugging me for sometime! I have read so many complaints about drunken tourist’s and locals in Queenstown, but I think its finally time someone brings to light how terrible the bouncers of bars in Queenstown are!

Dear Editor,

OMG, I have just driven home and am shocked at the stupidity of some people in this town! Driving out of Queenstown across the Shotover Bridge, I passed a cyclist on the right hand side of the road, that’s right heading against the traffic - and then a pedestrian 20 metres behind him!

Dear Editor,

Here is the latest way to totally confuse all other drivers at an intersection / roundabout and almost causing a crash.

Dear Editor,

Last weeks whinge titled “Cupid” got my spirits up and gave me some hope knowing that I’m not the only one that thinks like that. I’ve been on a few dates the last couple of months and I find that guys around Queenstown especially are just after one thing and that’s to get into your pants. What happened to dating and a little bit of romance? Call me old-fashioned, I know this is a transient tourist town and that most foreigners only pass through Queenstown, but that’s no excuse to boot romance out the door. Are there any descent guys left?

Dear Editor,

In the last month we have seen whinges about customer service and about customers themselves, and I think they both pertain to the same issue. One of the reasons Queenstown is such a unique and awesome place to be, is that it is entirely international and cool cats from around the world hang out here to enjoy and participate in everything that we have to offer.

Dear Editor,

Well done, to Off Road and Dennis Mander. First we have Off Road displaying their greed, selfishness and arrogance over the park on Shotover St in front of Thrifty Rentals and now clever Mr. Mander solves the problem by putting in broken yellow lines. Now we all suffer.

Dear Editor,

This is rather some advice rather than a whinge, directed at all the men out there! If you have a lovely and caring girlfriend/wife whom you cherish and have the utmost regard for, look after her! Write her poetry or pick her a flower every now and then, without any specific reason. Showing affection does not make you any less of a man. Women love to be wooed and shown that they’re appreciated, don’t ever lose that spark. It’s all about romance! Appreciate each other and show that you appreciate one another.

Dear Editor,

A while ago I rode the Tour De Wakatipu. The picturesque ride took me through some wonderful places I hadn’t been to despite living and riding round here for more than five years now. Last weekend I took the family down to the Shotover Delta past the poo-ponds to show them part of the route I rode through along with many 100s of others. It is a well maintained area making it a great place to walk down to the end of the Shotover to watch jet boats blast by as planes cruise in overhead to ZQN. There were also some teenagers riding around on their off road motorbikes which is fine as there’s lots of space for all.

Dear Editor,

What on earth is going on with the car-parking in Queenstown? First they put prices up across the board, and then they block out one of the main car parks in town for a film crew?! WTF! Carparking is always going to be an issue in a town where everything else is super expensive. So why block out an entire car park for private commercial gain. QLDC way to annoy your car parkers again. Oh and the you can park in Boundary St carpark... sure I can, but that’s not what I pay my annual permit for, is it now?

Dear Editor,

My family and I moved here two years ago and fell in love with Queenstown. At the time we did all the tourist-type things (as you do) and had a ball! But after six months we settled down and got back to work, we found out just how expenisve it really is. Queenstown has got to be kidding how much it charges, from general shoping to going out and having a beer.
