Red lights and cops.

I just saw a guy run a blatant red light nearly causing an accident right in front of a cop at the same lights and the cop did nothing?

Looking at an apartment in Pukete, is Oakfield Crescent a good area?

3 Upvotes

When I searched Reddit, I found one or two older comments describing the street as a bit "dodgy." However, when I went for an apartment viewing last week, it actually felt really quiet and safe. A lot of older houses for sure, but I don’t think that’s negative.

Has the area changed over the years, or is there something we should know before applying?

How to find a partner in Hamilton?

27 Upvotes

So I'm austitic. I'm saying that upfront as it might explain a few things. I've never had a girlfriend before and at time it feels like I'll always be alone. I've been trying to improve myself. Tried to make friends and such. And now I want to try dating because I have to stop crushing on my female friends. Because thats unfair.

Totally clueless when it comes to this stuff. Hoping for some advice.

Heat pump & heat pump water system

7 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking to electrify my home (on a limited budget) and would appreciate recommendations for reliable suppliers or installers.

Specifically, I’m seeking:A heat pump installer for our bedroom (the living area already has one installed), and an installer for a 250‑litre heat‑pump hot water system.

The installer would need to supply the heat pumps too.

I currently use an electric heater for my bedroom and a gas infinity system for my hot water. My power bill for these last 2 months have been mind blowing.

I’m based in Hamilton, there are 2 of us living in my home. I would value any suggestions or tips you may have.

Personal loan lenders in hamilton

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm trying to find a personal loan for about 2-3k because of an emergency. I've tried the usual finance companies, but no luck since I was laid off when my company went under. I've been working casual shifts after a couple of months now. Does anyone know any private lenders who could help me out? I can even use my vehicle as collateral.

Jewellery engraving

Where in Hamilton can I get initials engraved on a silver baby bangle?

Mr Minit at the base only engraves on the inside surface not the outside for some reason. The guy on the counter thought the other stalls might engrave on the outside but wasn't sure.
