From Wharkworth to Whellington, the populace is enraged over the changing of the spelling of long established names like Wanganui. The river as Whanganui is OK as nobody lives in it, but leave the city alone. We'll have a Whairou River next!

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Scorpio

Be careful how you handle a certain someone today because their mood is little short of incendiary. They'll jump down your throat if you dare to disagree with them, and then accuse you of being a wimp if you decide that it would be better to agree with everything they say. You can't win! If they really get on your wick, you'll have to give them a piece of your mind, even if it is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. Huh!
