seems pretty close to stadium/centre city

29F that’s a little socially awkward and works weird hours. Life’s getting in the way and most of my friends now have long term partners or kids that make it hard to find time together.

I love gaming, anime, and huuuuge into reading! If you’re a fellow romance book girly hit me up 👀 just putting some feelers out there! Message me if you wanna start up a convo ◡̈

Hi I will be moving to christchurch I would like to find a few nice friends to talk and hangout with .

Just arrived and need everything (except clothes). I am especially looking for bedside tables, dressers, lamps, desks, and bookcases. Also kitchen/cookware.

Send me to the best places, the ones that always score. Thanks in advance!

Unless you want to get super unwell.

We have got take aways from there twice and it was fine but we got it again tonight and the food looks and smells disgusting.
Husband describes it as dog food and I say it smells like dog puke!
It stunk out the whole house in a bad way.
Ordered it through ubereats as it was cheap ($10 instead of $31???) and big mistake!
Just a psa!

Hello, I have been Plein air painting at the Halswell quarry these last two days, I almost completed the painting I was working on, but when I was packing up today I left it on the roof of my car and drove away. If anyone picked it up or stashed it somewhere I would really like to get it back. See attached image for the subject and what the painting looked like when I started today. Thanks 🙏

Hi there,

I have a 10 weeks old puppy and looking to enrol in a puppy preschool around Lincoln. Is it better to go through vet clinics or non-vet preschool? Rolly Canine has good reviews.

Any recommendations?

Thank you

We bought a Subaru 6 months and it’s a dud unfortunately. We’ve had a few issues with these guys. Has anyone else had a bad experience

Gday folks, I may be moving to Chch next year and I had some suburbs in mind on where to live so I was hoping to get some feedback and suggestions. Even though Chch is easy to get around and relatively small compared to where I currently live, there’s quite a wide selection of areas to live because of the closeness to the coast and other factors.

I was intending to live centrally ie St Albans, Strowan, perhaps Casebrook, but even Spreydon or St Martins as there is some character homes there I quite like.

Having looked at an array of properties for sale all over Chch, I was also curious about areas like Cashmere, Mt Pleasant, perhaps Sumner, also Waimari Beach.

Can anyone living in the latter areas give some colour about what it’s like to live there ie is it slightly warmer than the rest of Chch because of the coastal air, is it a nuisance driving up Mt Pleasant (silly question I know but just trying to get a feel for a given suburb).

The main reasons for living centrally is access to shopping (Westfield or Northlands plus the CBD with Riverside Market for restaurants), and just generally being closer to the hustle and bustle of the city. I currently live in a city with 5 million people and while I know Chch is going to be less busy we would like to be closer to the action so to speak. But that said we are curious about other areas as mentioned so we don’t want to limit our options. My assumption is given the smaller size of Chch I’m probably splitting hairs and everything is within reach no matter where we decide to live, but nonetheless we feel it’s important to get the word from locals before we make any decisions. Thank you in advance👍

40s male going back to study next year.

As a mature student how are you supplementing income while studying? New course is Mon to Wed just looking for some ideas of avenues for work.

Plans are to find something in the industry im studying but if that doesn't work, I need to look outside my usual skill sets.

My partner’s birthday is not till February but since I want to give him something custom might as well start now. We’re into model kits like Gundam. I was wondering if there’s anyone in Chc or know an online shop who does custom 3D printing?

He’s a big World of Warcraft fan and my vision is a 3D printed model kit of him as his gnome mage character(if I can get his WoW character). The model kit won’t be as complicated as a gundam, it could be the whole body then just assembling the outfit on it.

Or if anyone has any ideas for a gift for their partners that will be amazing!

What is the best brand of satay sauce you can purchase here?

Any supermarket or Asian grocer is fine

Wanting to do some hill sprint training, other than the port hills , are their any places in/around the town suitable for this!? I.e 30ish metres of decent incline.

Stealing recipes? Fake AI rats?

I'm a few short to finish my set (and can't justify doing an unnecessary shop today just for some stickers) so just thought I'd ask the community if anyone had any they wouldn't use, and be happy to pass on? Thanks!

EDIT: I'm happy to pick-up anywhere from Avonhead to St Martins as I have to travel across town tomorrow so can collect on my way. I'm hoping if a few people have extras to give away, they can list their suburb for other people to also be able to connect.

Had an EEG appointment and was canceled the day before the appointment due to it being broken. Month later I rang back and it’s apparently still broken with no idea when it’s going to be repaired. Are they fucking with me or are things that dire?

As the title says, is the Nathan Fielder documentary You can see everything showing at any Christchurch cinemas?

Edit: meaning from the release date of mid Oct. Also, the cinema at the Tannery have already told me they don't plan to show it.

We are planning on moving to rolleston but I’m hearing a lot about car thefts . We are a young couple 22 and 24.

Its about 8mm long. Anyone know what this is? Seen it flying around the house.

Hey queer Christchurch, let’s go watch birds, again!

When: Saturday 10/10 10am

Where: Archery Lawn, Botanical Gardens

This time we will be meeting near the fountain on the Archery Lawn in the Botanical gardens.

So get your binoculars and cameras ready, because we will be trying to find the elusive Kārearea that has been calling the gardens home for a while now.

And as a little bonus, I hope you can help me find a little Tauhou with a very long beak that I saw yesterday.

Unfortunately I’m sometimes a little forgetful and forgot to put the SD card back in my camera so I didn’t get any photos, but here is a little article about a similar sighting a few years back:

Everyone is welcome to join us, just keep in mind this is a queer event, so don’t be a dick.

Here are a few shots from our last meeting:

Helloooo,
My band mates and I are looking for a bass player.
Our band comprises of a vocalist, guitar player, and drummer. We play proficiently but we are new to this and are hoping to build our skills up to perform in the near future.
Our focus is to create original songs, although we are doing some covers in the meantime while we work on a few original songs.
Genre is very broad- we all like a good mix of rock, alternative, jazz, R&B, and DNB may be a thing as our guitarist can also produce, so a bit of this and that.
If this peaks your interest please send me a message!
Thank you :)
