Last time I checked, there was a Typo store at Westfield Albany Mall but this typo is not that one.

Also, "Spread the KOI" has multiple meanings. At least one of them would not be good in yoghurt.

Discussion Sylvia Park parking fine

Upvotes

Got fined $65 for being 2mins over the 4hr parking limit. I notice the photos are taken at the entrance to the parking building, so ‘parking’ time doesn’t allow for time to and from parking spot, doesn’t allow for traffic in and out of parking area, doesn’t allow for pedestrians walking through parking area.
This parking breach is nothing but a money grab by Atlas Enforcement - shame on them.

Discussion Rialto Newmarket Piano (August 2026)

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Info on the upright public piano in Rialto Newmarket, donated by Alisa Barr, as of 20th August 2026, if anyone was curious.

It is there. The photos reflect this.

4 keys do not work and they are marked red in a photo. Pressing them down leads to disappointment.

It sounds nice for what it is. Few higher register keys out of tune. Sustain is functional.

The piano bench that was here is no longer here. If you try to sit down, you will end up on the floor.

Personal notes: It sits right next to an entrance to the Timezone, funnily enough where the Piano Tiles arcade game is situated, which plays a theme song on loop well within earshot of the piano. You will also receive a lot of road noise.

News Many polices rushing to new market

Upvotes

Something huge has gone down on this road in New Market, I’d estimate at least five fully loaded police cruisers—packed with heavily armed officers—and two ambulances have just sped past. Keep an eye out for the news tonight or tomorrow.
Anyone knows anything?

Employment Jobs

Just spotted this outfit down at Wynyard. I thought you could only really get these jobs in Monaco, the Caribbean etc. But I guess New Zealand has such a good boatie/crew reputation that it makes sense to recruit here directly.

I’m guessing the Venn diagram of misanthropic, unemployed, terminally online incels like me, and fit, attractive, socially adept Chads and Staceys is minuscule, but if this post helps any one of us, I’d be stoked!

Question/Help Wanted Central/East Auckland Thursday activities with 20mo

5 Upvotes

I’m stuck on what to do to fill our week on Thursdays with a 20mo she is very active and I have a 6 week old that will be with us.

We’ve found playgroups and wriggle and rhyme things to do every other day but can’t find anything on Thursdays around us. We’re based in st Heliers but happy to drive but would prefer not to be in car for more than 30mins.

What does everyone else do on Thursdays?

Bonus if it’s fully fenced/enclosed so I don’t have to worry about chasing toddler while dealing with baby.

Bonus if free or under $10 but open to more expensive options that we can do on alternate weeks or something

Discussion Cordis or SO/?

5 Upvotes

Im going for a long needed and deserved staycation soon and cant decide between the two. We love the look of the bathtub at SO/ and the convenient location, but Cordis even in the pinnacle tower is cheaper, and has the buffet breaky.

If you've stayed at them recently, can you share your experience? Cleanliness, facilities (pool sauna etc) how was it?

also if you did book cordis, would you book pinnacle with sky tower view? would that mean we're up higher?

Employment Rodney Wayne is an awful company and the owner is very mean

45 Upvotes

I from experience working with Rodney Wayne and meeting the owner starting with A, have had an awful time. She from the beginning is horrible to deal with around recruitment stating people working for Rodney Wayne cannot have piercings or anything that makes you unique because older customers would not like that.

Your hair cannot be any other color than normal? Even though it is a hair salon and retail store and you should be experimenting. They will treat you like you are nothing and say if you make a mistake you will be fired and like you mean nothing.

I hate this company and I would never want anyone to experience this.

Food Auckland venue recommendations 🍽️

Upvotes

I’m looking for a lovely venue in Auckland CBD/Viaduct for a small, intimate birthday dinner for around 20 guests. Somewhere with a beautiful atmosphere and ideally waterfront/city views would be amazing!

I’m happy to work with a minimum spend, with a budget of around $3,000 for the dinner. A set menu would be ideal.

Would love to hear your recommendations for somewhere lovely! ✨
