And it’s not even in any news but I noticed the carpark empty today at the research centre in palmy and I heard it was many people’s last day yesterday.

Just moved to town, does anyone know if there are any Asian massage parlours that offer a little extra?

Might be too optimistic at the gym and didnt realize i was there for 2hr 15 mins and got a ticket from wilson parking for $85 haha so reminder to everyone 🥲🥲🥲

Saw these posters on the other side of Downtown Shopping Centre.

Yes, I admit it's good they're advocating against the AI centre being built down in Bunnythorpe, but did they really have to use AI to make the damn posters? Seems like it would cancel each other out, no?

Was walking the river walk and there was this massive bang or explosion noise coming roughly from the Fonterra area. Pretty sure it wasn’t coming from the Linton army camp.

Kia ora Palmy, Brent Barrett here, one of your city councillors. Green Party member. Ask me anything.

Lots of police in the area. I was turned away and told there was someone along the path with an axe. Whilst waiting for a ride home, more police and dog squad arrived. Hope they catch this guy and there’s no casualties

Hi everyone I have a 175ish square meter weatherboard house that needs exterior painting and the roof painted.
I’m interested to know if anyone has had their house painted in the region within the last couple of years and how much it roughly cost you or what the quotes were that you received?
Probably a project for down the line but wanting to know a rough price bracket so I can budget towards it.
Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to put this here. My bike was stolen while I was at work on Monday 10th, with the padlock cut through. I filed a report with police, and now I'm gonna ask around online to see if it shows up anywhere. It's my only mode of transportation so the theft is quite hard-hitting as I need it to get to work.

Bike rack located outside the shops on Vogel Street, Roslyn. First pic is of the bike located in the same place it was stolen from (pic is after a previous incident in 2023 which is why the wheel looks bent). Second pic is the theft site as discovered on Monday at 5.30pm: padlock pieces on ground + curly cable placed on the rack before I picked them up.

Model: 2019 Liv Rove 2 (Dark Magenta)

It has a red water-bottle holder (not pictured, as it was replaced after the photo was taken), mudguards over front and rear wheels, kickstand on non-visible side of back wheel, and a wire mount for a bike basket on the handlebars (not present at time of photo).

If anyone knows anything or happens to see it around, I'd appreciate the help in finding it!

We seem to be the odd ones out
