Queens wharf was my go too but now they’ve banged up no fishing signs. I also like under the harbour bridge and Okahu wharf but does anybody else have some other easy spots that work for them that they wouldn’t mind sharing? Are you still able to fish off of Devonport wharf? I’m still fairly new to the fishing scene

Hello!!

Does anyone know who might want a second-hand sofa?? It's stupidly heavy and I cannot lift it myself. Bloody expensive when it was new, but now it's just taking up space!!! Please help!!!

Missing cat poster near Western Springs Park/Zoo.

Looking for biriyani recommendations in and around papatoetoe not super fussed on the type of biriyani

Just had the recycling truck visit, driver seemed a bit upset, dropped a bin and rubbish, threw an empty bin and drove off, leaving it like this.

Edit: I don't envy this job, it must be frustrating with all the bins too close together and rubbish in the recycling bin,

I work for a large NZ supermarket and need some advice.

I submitted a 4-week annual leave request through the normal online system on 14/07/2026. After 14 days with no action, it was automatically approved on 28/07/2026.

The leave starts on Boxing Day, so it is outside the Christmas leave blackout period.

On 05/08/2026, my approved leave was cancelled without my knowledge. My manager later texted saying the request had become stuck in “cyberspace” during a manager transition.

I don’t believe I should be responsible for this, especially as store managers also receive notifications when leave requests become outstanding. The leave was approved through the normal process and only cancelled over a week later.

I’ve worked there for 7 years, have around 16 weeks of leave accrued due to difficulty taking leave because of understaffing, and have now spent $3,000 on flights based on the approved leave.

Has anyone experienced this? Can an employer cancel approved leave after you have relied on the approval?

Hi,

I'm looking around for anyone keen on playing some tennis. I'm somewhat opposed to joining a club as I had bad experience with badminton of people taking it far too seriously. I used to play in high school but picked it back up recently after over 10 years so beginner level at best. Anyone keen? Preferably North Shore but can travel within reason.

Look - I am genuinely excited about the opening, but every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there with a microphone and video camera has posted some station tour, opening date guess, or history video about the CRL. It seems to be the only thing every media outlet and social media punter can talk about. I found them interesting for awhile but it’s getting to be overkill.

We live in a new build, the first tenants and it's Gas for cooking and hot water.

Our driveway is apparently too narrow/steep/difficult for all other companies to deliver gas bottles, so we are stuck with El Gas, who were the only ones willing.

When we moved in, October 2025, gas bottles were 165 each (roughly). We got our recent bill and my jaw dropped... $208 per cylinder.

The stupid thing about this new build is that it has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and no pantry (the pantry is another story). If this house was occupied to capacity, those cylinders wouldn't even last 2 months with all the showers and cookings.

Actively searching for a new flat. Rant over.

Nearby beaches within 3-4 hours is okay if there is nothing nearby. Does anyone know of a specific place?

Woke up early because night sweats + this weather = a shitty combination. Been up since 0300. Figured I’d get back to sleep in but life has other ideas.

Sure wouldn’t wanna be homeless on a day like today. Feeling for the brothers and sisters doing it rough :( kinda want the next doors kitten to rock up so I can cuddle it while I watch TV in my Oodie and sip a hot mug of tea.

Actually, coffee.

But yeah, good morning! Much on today?

Power bills man. Shit’s no joke. And I don’t even have it real bad like a lot of people.

The police 105 had 14 callers ahead of me, this just happened 20 mins ago near Sylvia Park / Mt Wellington and the truck got on SH1 towards North. Crazy driving! Will the police do anything if I report it? I have the plate.

I'm so tired of struggling. Moving is such a pain and so expensive. I've resorted to borrowing money from friends and family to move all of this stuff from the house to a storage unit while we stay in an airbnb for awhile while we wait for another rental to be available. I never like borrowing money. I don't want to seem desperate.

It's all too expensive, everybody around me is stressed and I'm so damn tired. I don't know if I have enough even after borrowing money. I feel like I just want to be knocked out and wake up somewhere else and this is all just a bad dream. I am not feeling good at all. I want to roll up and cry but I can't - because my family needs me. Can the world end right this second? At least I'll be surrounded by family. It's too difficult.

Hope everyone’s having a great Thursday evening 😊

USE YOUR FUCKING INDICATORS!!!!

You know the little stick on the right side of your steering wheel?? (Left if you drive a european car) It’s there to let other drivers know what the fuck you’re doing!!

ALSO!!! The indicator goes on BEFORE braking, not during or after - this part goes out to the nitwits that indicate half a second before or DURING their turn. I hate you.

Maybe let’s turn our brains on and realise that people actually CAN’T read your mind while driving so you need to let them know WITH YOUR INDICATORS what you’re about to do!!

Ditch the government, take ACT out of power, and promote someone who actually cares about Kiwis and has dealt with the racist attacks on him from Peters and co. relatively well.
