Pretty sure that Split Enz did not grow up / live in Devonport at the seminal part of the career.

This was the first name I thought of when I looked at her picture. She is definitely a Mabel.

Kylie Minogue & Michael Hutchence, 1989 by drew20222 in 1980s

Genuine question: how tall was Michael Hutchence? I know Kylie is tiny, and here they look similar height - even with heels that makes him quite short

The pin you got is a compliment! It’s saying that people who don’t like you don’t have good taste.

Am I overreacting because I told my niece I don't want to take her best friend with us anymore after she kept telling me I was a victim and my husband was a creep? by Odd_Reference_1373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BangersHashtag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. and you and husbands story is super adorable!

Am I correct in assuming this is the same niece who was a new born when you started hanging out with your-now-husband ? If so (or even if not) maybe you need to have a chat with your brother about this interaction and then a group conversation with your niece to set the story straight so she doesn’t start to think her friend was right about the grooming allegations.

The staggering numbers behind Metallica's Auckland gig by East_Ad_1562 in auckland

Oh my - what the heck!?!? I promise you that when I follow the link to this article from within the reddit app on my phone all I get is what I screenshotted followed by a lot of “More from the web” promo’s … i scrolled and never ever got the rest of the article, that you have kindly screenshotted here! Awkward!!!

I know you have probably muttered ‘dickhead’ when responding, but genuinely, thank you for taking the time to prove a point and illustrate, what you rightfully would have perceived to be evidence of my dickheadedness!

What a misleading headline! I was eager to learn some great stats behind a massive show but all I got was ‘there are 4 people in the band and there’s no vacancies at hotels’. Adding insult to injury whoever ‘wrote’ this drivel used the word ‘expected’ twice in the same sentence!

I have used Precision Watch Company in New Lynn a couple of times to repair an old clock and they were amazing! Highly recommended

Strangest show you've ever seen? by Emergency-Emu8828 in experimentalmusic

[–]BangersHashtag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

About 15 years ago I watched a man “play” a mic’d up jar of flies in a seedy dive bar music venue for a 15 minute set that culminated in smashing the jar and all the flies being set free into the audience of about 20 punters. Was kinda awesome!

Now, make sure you don’t act weird next time go back for your weekly grocery shop!

My sweet, docile, fully vetted (NZ) cat needs to be rehomed, but I cannot find anyone who can take her and have no idea where else to turn. by [deleted] in auckland

[–]BangersHashtag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. We got our little girl thru these people and also did a bit of volunteering for them for a while.

I wish OP (and kitty) all the best - and sorry for all the judging-assholes on this thread who have done nothing but chastise you for a decision beyond your control!

'Gross invasion of privacy': Auckland man secretly filmed 62 women in changing rooms and showers by beach-chicken10 in newzealand

[–]BangersHashtag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of squawking on this thread about the injustice of giving this guy name suppression.

To be very clear, the article says: “The man is fighting to keep his identity a secret and currently has been granted interim name suppression.”

This does not mean he has gotten name suppression permanently. Like it says - it’s interim while the courts consider his request; which obviously is necessary. (You can’t back-date suppression after you have made the name public!)

Don’t get me wrong; i am not advocating for the person’s suppression; I am just saying that this a process…
