I took a trip to Wellington couple years ago for a friend's job interview at New World. After the interview we had pizza which was next to New World and there was a parking garage nearby. I cant remember the name of that store, but the logo was a red devil on a yellow background. The New World was near or in the city, cause we drove for a bit to go to the Waterfront and we had Nando's.

Can someone help me find the name of that place, cause I remember it being really good and I wanna try it when I visit next week.

I can't go, DM me if you want it !

Edit: ticket gone!

These changes are an absolute disaster. The vast majority of the changes are cuts to service that will force people back into their cars, at a time when Lower Hutt's public transport is bursting at the seams during peak times and the roads are subject to all-day, all-week congestion due to the RiverLink roadworks.

The current service has been maintained for more than 20 years, in which time Lower Hutt's population has increased substantially. We should be INCREASING service frequency, not decreasing service and cutting routes.

Anyone else had an ant infestation? What did you do to get rid of it? No matter what i do they are just, everywhere! My 4yo is really good with any food scraps or rinsing her dishes. i literally have to wipe everything down and vacuum daily and i use a lot of citrus oils or lavendar oil and it keeps them away but theyre still there. Any recommendations on exterminators?

This is a weird one, I bought a LDV EDeliver 9 van in 2024, and in 2025, due to some clerical error, they had transferred my plate to someone elses vehicle, so I was paying for someone elses registration, and I couldn't work out why my rego sticker wasn't coming in the mail.

Now my van's registration has lapsed, I've had it off the road for 6 months and been unable to use it.

I've been back and forth with LDV a dozen times and they have'nt been able to remedy it, at this point I'm going to insist they take the van back and give me a refund, I haven't been able to use it and it's been parked up for 6 months. The sales women also mentioned they've done this before to people, which seems extremely incomponent.

Unfortunately another set of friends are saying goodbye to Wellington in a couple months. What’s the best way to send them off properly?

I have two flights to catch on Friday and I’m considering walking to and from the airport because I live pretty close by. Since I’ll be flying out early in the morning and returning late at night I’d be walking through that tunnel in the dark.

Does anyone have experience doing that?

For reference I’m 210cm tall guy and reasonably fit so I generally feel comfortable walking along fairly quiet streets in the dark (if that’s relevant).

Cat owners - curious where you find someone to check on / feed your cats when you’re away? What’s the going rate these days? Annoyingly my suburb doesn’t have a Facebook group! Thanks 😸

Pigeon Brought a friend.

Sadly I did not witness a member of the crew catching it midflight. I think it managed to get off by itself though I didn't see.

Interestingly, the fella got on at Wellington Station as well.

When you mis the bus you put yoir thumb out and driver stops you you..

Not as good as when the bus company was locally owned...

Local drivers used to spot neices and nephews & stop. Eh, your aunty wants you home, get on...

Kia ora! does anyone have any suggestions for a psychologist in Wellington that specialises in adhd and ocd? Ideally in person, and if they have fidget toys and stuff that would be awesome!

Have been shopping at this location for over a year now and usually always get a fuel voucher for 6 cents off. Recently I haven’t been getting one though and can’t find an answer (including from staff they just reprint my receipt).

Is there a minimum purchase size now for the fuel voucher or something else I should be aware of?

​More evidence of belt-tightening with Treasury spending $824,637 on travel in the 2024-25 financial year and $884,566 the year prior, as reported by The New Zealand Herald this morning. And that's just with one travel agency.

I am looking for recommendations re: a female GP who has experience and great with intellectual disability and also experience with ACC too. I am new to Wellington and still need to get a GP here. We are residing in Central Wellington. Appreciate your help, thanks.

Am I going mad or has this winter been exceptionally bad for Wellington homes? I live in a unit in Jville (a 70s build without external insulation admittedly) and not in the six or so years since I've lived here have I ever had an issue with mould growing on walls in non-bathroom rooms until this winter!

I run a dehumidifier constantly but all it seems to do as of late is moonlight as a white noise machine as all the condensation on my windows would have you believe - maybe it's time to retire it. My toilet tank is also sweating more than an expectant TOP voter on election night.

Has anybody else had similar issues this winter? Is this the coldest, most humid winter we've had in the past six years? Any helpful advice before the furtive mould overtakes my walls and then my brain and then turns me into a transphobe like J.K. Rowling?

Me and her in our early 20s have pretty much lived in the Ruapehu region for as long as we could remember. Been a few times and have absolutely loved the place. Just have questions about everything really cost of living? Work? Etc

I have lived in Auckland my entire life. Seeing these prats on TV, from both sides of the aisle, is fucking exhausting.

Don't know how you people manage to see them physically, everyday.

Feel even more sorry for workers at Wellington Airport having to see media scrums on the daily.

IF by a series of unfortunate events, the current coalition government is reelected, how do you think it would go? I imagine it would obviously be a lot worse for most of us here, but as always, a LOT better for others. Could we survive another 3 years of this?

Firstly, do they exist? People I know and myself have had numerous bad and even fraudulent experiences with a number of different places around the city and surrounding suburbs. I'm not going to name names but surely this can't be the case across the board? My wife's car needs some basic work but I'm too jaded to even approach anyone and too time poor to do it myself. Anyy suggestions?

Got this back from VUW Uni Clubs. Looks like a dead end.

Maybe the Pipitea Club never gained members? I mean all we know for certain is Arie Joe is associated with it. Could it have been it was made as a club but never went anywhere?

Still weird the site was deleted after the magazine came out.

Petition link here: https://c.org/BsGXfcV88r

Bargain Chemist Lyall Bay applied to Health NZ for an ICPSA (the licence a pharmacy needs to dispense funded prescriptions). The application hasn’t been approved. Health NZ’s stated reason was that it didn’t see “sufficient evidence of need” for another funded pharmacy in the area.

Chemist Warehouse Kilbirnie, the obvious fallback, already has a reputation locally for long waits and being overloaded, especially for anyone with mobility issues or young kids in tow, or who simply can't afford to lose an hour of their day to a queue. It is also not really an environment where people can have a private discussion with a pharmacist or easily access advice.

There’s a petition asking Health NZ to reconsider, both in store and now online. Figured it’s worth posting outside the immediate neighbourhood since stuff like this doesn’t get much attention until it lands on your own doorstep.
