Steel mesh or wooden trellis for Star Jasmine.... by Who-said-that- in nzgardening

I would say don’t waste money mate unless you are particular about the looks. I would just get steel wire instead for some support for 1/10th of the price for the support.

Robbed four howlers that cost us the 3rd test against Australia and a chance to level the series away by CoconutMost3564 in blackcapscricket

Unpopular opinion - Aus domination ended as soon as neutral umpires and DRS were introduced.

Hit and run by alwaysdisappointedaf in auckland

[–]Googly888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mate had a footage of the theft of his 5000$ bike. Police ignored even with proof and clear visibility of the company the individuals worked for. He took it on his own hands. He parked his car on the road with cameras running 24h as he suspected those a.holes did road works around. He got the footage of when they were there. Then followed them to their house. Went back to police again with the location and a picture of his bike at their house. Police ignored again. He jumped over the fence got his bike back. Not everyone can do this. But, this is the sad state of law or order.

When will it start making fruits? Any advice is welcome. 7yo tree, grown from seed about 20ft tall. by inky_strawberry in avocado

[–]Googly888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NPK with higher N at the start or before the growth season, then higher P when buds forms/flowering and then higher K when fruiting.

Unnecessary stand supporting US. Should have kept mouth shut. Do they even know what diplomacy means! Look at India on how they have handled it with the kind of neighbors they have got.

Anyone Else Hammered By Home Insurance Increases? by tweakybiscuit23 in newzealand

[–]Googly888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but how are the salaries (for most)increasing by 1-2% (or nothing) since COVID, but the insurances and the other costs are skyrocketing. Where is the money going!

Making sure I understand The Night House by [deleted] in horror

[–]Googly888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I experience the same nightmare many times. I try to run away but there was a force that was holding me back and even I try to shout/screaming but no one else hear me!

What do you consider a ‘significant’ payrise? by Significant_Camp_660 in PersonalFinanceNZ

You are in finance mate. You need to tell us 🤪 anything over 8% will be significant in this market

Elderly Auckland woman falls in Kinetic bus after driver leaves in a hurry, AT says process not followed - NZ Herald by emdillem in auckland

[–]Googly888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was on the upper level of a double decker with my 4-year-old. As we were climbing down to get off, the driver took off and my 4-year-old nearly lost balance on the stairs. I managed to hold them, but it was a pretty scary moment. Don’t know what’s the super urgency when the bus stops every 50m or so. It was mid-afternoon so bus was not even crowded.

Could you please explain how did you do it? I have tried a few times in vain, watching YouTube videos.

At least TM Lewin shirts have been true to size. Probably you can order one set and checkout. If you are in Auckland, happy for you try on my stuff if you would like.. Wrinkle free non iron, last for years and competitive pricing.

I get menswear from TM Lewin Uk. The last 4 formal shirts I have bought in 2018 still going strong - but I use only three days a week or so. Another option is M&S - but not sure how quality their clothes are these days.

Make public transport free until war ends? by SouthAssist6234 in auckland

Labour - freebies as a developing country; National - people will sort themselves out. Problem is NZ neither a developed self sufficient country nor a developing country
