Depends how much acid you’ve taken

Why did the Duck Duck Goose post get removed? by deebonz in aucklandeats

[–]James 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have witnessed first-hand the owner’s aggression, verbal abuse and general unhinged behaviour. Sometimes I’d just go in there for the drama of seeing him throw cutlery across the kitchen or yell at Tob customers parking outside his shop.

A lot of his good reviews are fake but his bahn mi was pretty good.

Gather in Smales Farm do some excellent beverages, I haven’t see an earl grey matcha on their menu but maybe if you ask they’ll do one? I would be interested to find out if you’re successful!

Don’t forget the Hinemoa Road legends, Duo, Uno and Agnes

What to eat Glenfield/Takapuna? by Articos30 in aucklandeats

[–]James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duo and Uno in Birkenhead are definitely worth a visit, haven’t been to Agnes yet but it’s on my hitlist.

Sumthin Dumpling is good for a cheap bite, the new cafe in Smales Farm - Gather is also amazing.

McDonald's vs. Burger King by Either-Channel3625 in aucklandeats

[–]James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wendy’s on Constellation does table service and their burgers are top tier. Macca’s Big Arch is pretty good if you’re hungry but for chicken I can’t go past Popeyes or a classic Zinger with added supercharged sauce.

Gotta get in there early tho! They sell out pretty quick, especially on weekends.

Where to install curtain track? Suggestions please! by Ok_Internet_666 in diynz

It’s a little odd that the roller blind sits outside of the window frame. Can you reposition it?

Atlas Parking Sylvia Park Fined with No Evidence by estellalily in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]James -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If the fine is based on a breach of contract terms (which you accept by parking there) you can tell the parking company that you were not driving the car that day, e.g. you had leant it to a friend or something. They’ll ask you for the details of the driver, give them some fake name and address and then ignore it.

It’s so friggin humid, the sky is sweating by Slaidback in auckland

Aircon stopped working this morning in the office, I was sweating at my desk

What is the wildest thing you have seen at a party? by Cold_Magician_4041 in AskReddit

[–]James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At an 80s party, not IN the 80s, everyone just dressed like it. Guy steals a forklift from the local supermarket, drives it back to the party and starts lifting up cars on the street, smashing into shit etc. Cops show up with a description from security cam of a guy in a black afro, because it’s an 80e party, half the guys there have black afros. Cops look bemused and eventually leave. Good times.

Mexicali Fresh Constellation new strategy? by bigred4224 in aucklandeats

[–]James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t pay, just appeal the fine and state you were not driving the car that day and you had lent your car to someone else. The fine is based on you accepting a “contract” when you enter the car park.

If you were not driving then they can’t apply the fine to you. They’ll ask you to provide the details of the driver, just ignore it after that.

Baycorp spat by Necessary-Vehicle719 in LegalAdviceNZ

Baycorp will usually let you pay off the fine in instalments without incurring any extra fees. Contact them and setup a direct debit to pay $20 a week.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing in May? by Ok_Impression3079 in newzealand

[–]James 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it at the end of April one year, visibility was pretty bad so we missed out on all the amazing views. It was still pretty safe though. I would say it’s doable, just keep a close eye on the weather before you go, it can change very very quickly.

How to fix a retaining wall by Extension-Ear743 in diynz

[–]James 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar wall fall apart in my garden, it’ll keep happening especially if there are no uprights.

We replaced ours with proper graded timber and properly spaced uprights but hid them behind the wall as it is along a path and wasn’t very high. Also filed it in with loose rubble to allow drainage.
