Have been on hold waiting for a @Wotif customer service rep for well over an hour now!! Second attempt today! Not happy!!

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@kirsty_johnston @nzherald @NZStuff Great news for Stuff!! Shame you’ll be coming back as I’m leaving. Would have been good to be on the same team again!

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@ought2bee @KurtBayerNZME I had tears in my eyes at the end...utterly heartbreaking, but beautifully written.

@Rural_News @rural_news
what is the best email to get you on in regards to the photo used in this story?

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@TheSpinoffTV Hi @TheSpinoffTV - Matt Shand doesn't work at the Taupo Times anymore, he's the Waikato Times'/Stuff's Bay of Plenty reporter. Thanks

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@WasRasMus The Wire Also the beginning of my crush on Idris!!

@AngelaCuming There all online Ang - which is I guess where you’re reading the content. So plenty of eyes still seeing their work, actually even more than previously.

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming And our new columnist Nicola Martin who is amazing! Great to have a strong female columnist writing well researched pieces.

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming Hi just to clarify - the Times hasn’t axed local columnists. Your Weekend is getting rid of their regional food writers. But yes, genuine shame Denise’s amazing food columns will no longer be in the weekend mag.

Imagine defrauding your company of tens of thousands of dollars over a decade and then just ... walking away. And getting paid 12 months of your salary. Which is many millions of dollars. And not having to pay back what you defrauded.

Damn it must feel good to be a banker.

@KashkaT Oh wow!! You're teaching now? Nice one

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

Brilliant!!

Texting the wrong number could be the best thing you do all day.

I urge anyone who is against refugees to read this. Being a refugee is not a choice, for most it's a matter of life or death...why would anyone willingly chose this life?

“I think about them all day, every day,”

This mother fled Nigeria to save her life. She had to leave her children behind.

Now in Hungary, she can't be reunited with her children because of her legal status. This is her story ⤵️

@AngelaCuming @waikatotimes Not sure the judges at the media awards would agree - but hey, like I said everyone is entitled to an opinion and given you don’t really care for our publication I might sign off for the night. Nice chatting - it’s been a while

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming @waikatotimes Glad you are still such a passionate follower of our publication

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming @Floislane Not sure how publishing a story about it a day after the post and before other media is ‘dropping the ball’ but hey all good. Hope the boys get better soon

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming Well that’s disappointing to hear - but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. Shame yours has so vastly changed from one of passion for the Times, to hatred

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming @waikatotimes Not getting shirty at you at all - sorry if you’ve taken it that way. We were catching out other racists on Friday...there’s loads around as u know, but got to Casson as soon as we were made aware from @Floislane https://t.co/I8qkQ6Irvv

[Nicola BrennanTupara @ndbrennan]

@AngelaCuming @waikatotimes Did you post it back in 2016 as well? Didn’t see that one?
