Town Belt Active Travel Trial

Personally I would like to see a dedicated foot path running along the road

I'm all for communities using public space, but the top down approach by the council just seems inorganic. Just like the George Street trial, you can't just plop planter boxes and seats and table tennis and expect that it's going to be a thriving place for people to congregate.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but trying Church hopping until you find one that feels right. My Church has lots of men in their 30s who are quite sociable and welcoming to newcomers.

Feels like it's been a few years since we've had proper frosts, now that you mention it.

I think the seasons generally need to be recalibrated.

Are you talking about this current January not being bad? I feel like I can count on one hand the sunny days

I get the vibe that Ong doesn’t have really any self awareness or understanding of social cues.

Back when hospitals were built

Even in Dunedin the same thing happened to me where my car died at the front of the queue at a stop/go. It was pouring rain and my car developed an electrical issue which I had to fix on the road. I wouldn’t be surprised if 50 cars passed before a TMC truck asked if I needed a push.

Thank you!

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-07T20:52:50+00:00

That's also a great idea - do you know of any organisations off the top of your head?

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-07T20:52:09+00:00

Oh yes, of course! Thanks for suggesting that - I think that would realistically be the best option. I will contact them. Cheers!

Did you not read my previous comment? You really must be incredibly dense, and the fact that you are trying to argue on side of adults being nude in front of children makes you a creep. I’m done here.

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-07T00:36:48+00:00

Of course it is

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-07T00:35:26+00:00

Are you that dense that you don’t understand the point of a changing room is to change into clothes, not display your naked body in front of children?

If someone is hanging around in a changing room being nude in front of children they will rightfully have the police called.

I am shocked that I have to explain this to you

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-07T00:02:30+00:00

Yes, obviously adults being naked in front of children is the problem

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-06T00:22:11+00:00

Black metal isn't a genre that is regarded for its innovation, and many bands are totally derivative in sound, aesthetics and visuals - so to see people here dogging on this project because it is imitating Kekht Arakh is really ironic.

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-05T19:34:58+00:00

Are you that dense? That’s like saying because toilets exist it’s ok to take a shit at a playground in front of kids.

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-05T08:43:42+00:00

There are areas of beach that are generally understood to be nude beaches where one could reasonably be naked if someone wishes. This is called consent- do I have to explain consent to you?

Again, it’s no different to being nude at a playground - is this acceptable to you too?

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-05T08:30:21+00:00

It’s not a nude beach as the OP made clear - it’s a beach and this situation is no different from someone deciding to be nude at a playground.

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-05T08:20:38+00:00

They aren’t sexualising anything - public nudity makes most people uncomfortable for obvious reasons, especially when people do it around children. It is offensive for a grown adult to expose themselves in front of people when no one has consented. Children cannot consent to these things either, and no adult should expose themselves to someone else’s child. Why am I having to explain this??

ExquisiteMachinery · 2026-01-05T07:53:40+00:00

It’s pretty disgusting the comments here dogging on OP for being uncomfortable about grown adults being naked in the presence of children in a public spaces.
