He pretends he doesn’t hear the question when he’s put on the spot, trying to gain a second or two to think of an answer. Stupid tactic, doesn’t work f**kwit.

I see you have your soldiers lined up and ready.

It’s a great ride for sure. If you cross the PagesRd bridge you can follow the river to the estuary and ride along the estuary track all the way to the Southshore spit. That track is finally consented for repair after 13 yrs. Still a good ride. Next time!

About wood burners, I can’t find the references to ones that good folk here recommended for Ōtautahi. Winter is coming (arrived?),please can I have some recommendations again? Thankyou.

lol, you’re welcome xx

A one litre licorice all sort bucket with a hole in its lid, lined with a bread bag & squashed up plastics inside it. Next to it is a bag full of the soft plastics ready for the next trip to recycling.

I do soft plastics now. They condense down well.I had to eat a bucket of allsorts for the container mind you. The things we must do.

This really annoys me. “Descriptive” reporting in Press today. Judgey??

“The car was crumpled against the wall, swathed in Fire and Emergency tape. A bone carving necklace hung from the rear view mirror next to a picture of Bob Marley. A bumper sticker at the back said “Proud to be Māori”.”

Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear this today Di. Wishing you all the best xx

Rising waterlevels of the Bartang River complicate everything - Tajikistan 🇹🇯 | S8, EP97 YouTube video by Itchy Boots

If anyone wants to see the interior of Tajikistan from a motorbike perspective, this YouTube channel (Sticky Boots) is amazing, and calming somehow. Came across it randomly and I’m totally hooked on her adventures now. youtu.be/Bx3Ju3cw0mE?...

It almost looks like tamarillo, are you game to cut one?

So sorry to hear this, hope you’ll get him back home with you soon. Shout out if you need a lift to the hospital to visit, parking is horrendous as you’ll know.

The late Janey Godley from Scotland holding a sign that says “Trump is a Cunt”. She was protesting at one of Trumps visits to acquire more land for his golf courses.

Getting my sign ready, with inspiration from the late great Janey Godley.

@thepress.co.nz what insensitive reporting about a house fire in Linwood. Was it really necessary to include a reference from a decade ago about this person’s lifestyle in her early life? What does that have to do with this accidental fire? Victim blaming??

Lightening strikes in Greymouth. Maureen Pugh ok? 😜

Just blustery here in Southshore. Blue sky to the south and just high cloud elsewhere. No n-w arch. Think we made it?

Image depicts a raised red clenched fist. Text underneath it says: I support the strikers.

#nzpol 💪👏❤️ #Oct23Strike #NZMegaStrike I support everyone striking today!
Kia kaha! Aotearoa Steadfast.

I’m weary of them too, but I think wary is the spelling you mean.

I hate them too, it’s like they have armour the same as cockroaches.I heard that daddy-long-legs (love that name) attack them so I never disturb a d-l-l web. It might be a myth but it’s also a good excuse not to do dusting lol.

Ps I didn’t see him but will be 👀 now!

It’s def South Brighton, btwn Caspian and Halsey. The houses are on Marine Parade. How very dare they mis-label it.

No regerts?

I just can’t recognize Jason Wall’s accent (TVNZ reporter). I need to know.

Excellent news about the grant. Will investigate that too! Yes pine is my mainstay, just haven’t had much luck with Oregon or bluegum, but it could be the old burner no drawing well. Macrocarpa mmmm.

Thankyou for this post and thread. Following with much interest - seems a lot of our older burners are expiring in the next couple of years. Can I also ask what wood mix you generally burn?

I love them too. Real seaside vibe (obvs lol). Lots of people out and about too, great to see.

Oh yes, the utter confusion te reo signage causes.

Rhetorical question: why are SpeedBumps and CycleWays so triggering to the Other side?

Great letter in The Press today (I’ve withheld the writer’s name)

How about pouring really hot water over the connection? Might loosen the plastic enough to yank it apart.

IYKYK right?
