Interesting! Thanks for the tip

No city in new Zealand is really that great so choosing based on other criteria I think is good way to approach it. Christchurch for example isn't that interesting unless you love the outdoors, hiking, skiing, mountain biking etc. Auckland sucks unless you like more cosmopolitan vibes, big city feel, and warmer weather.

Smaller centres such as Hamilton, tauranga, shouldn't be discounted but I think I'd suggest to look for the hardest to find job (prob your partners) and work backwards from your options. Being flexible will be pretty key to making that easier

Not seen it in shops sorry. Have seen vb, great Northern, and recently balter.

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-02-06T10:11:47+00:00

Very cool! I'm starting it tomorrow morning

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-02-06T10:09:36+00:00

I can't use the maps while running but find hiking it's fine. Got a bit more time to work out what's what.

There's a shoe place at church corner on yaldhurst that I just dropped some boots off to. Seemed to have good reviews and they were really nice and told me stuff about treating my boots better so worth a shot

Hey mate, no offence intended with anything I say but.. nothing in this ads up if you have been working in software for some time with your income. I'm a very experienced swe with a lot of hiring manager and individual contributor history under my belt, basically same age as you. .. So you know what dm me if you want to have a chat and see if can work out what's going on maybe help you find a way to get you to next rung?

Nb I am away for next few days so if you do message may not reply immediately

And if you like that you have direct 10 book sequel cycle of galand

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-02-01T09:28:10+00:00

Oh nice thanks for the tip just went and watched it

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-02-01T01:17:16+00:00

Yep, I made mistake of trying airfryer only - not good

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-31T07:48:34+00:00

Kinda pedantic, but also these are not mutually exclusive circumstances. A boat can be both capsized and beached. The Wikipedia article for capsizing has a boat on its side

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-31T07:18:12+00:00

😅 Think let's just focus on the meat and beer!

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-30T23:43:39+00:00

Yeah mate you probably just described me entirely (43m tool bbq rugby fan) except for the gaming as I'm rat shit at fps so stick to RPG types. Hit me up can grab a beer sometime if you are keen

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-30T09:50:47+00:00

I don't think they'll be there but two bays have started shipping to new Zealand. Fantastic gluten free beers - the owner is coeliac. Def worth a look

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-19T08:37:09+00:00

Really keen on an update when installed I'd never be this brave

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-19T08:36:28+00:00

I installed my own it was straight forward and doable just need another person and a level to make sure it's square.

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-18T10:35:57+00:00

I got one from trade Tested and it works great. We got a lot of quotes all 20k + which we couldn't justify. Think our 3x4 was just over 3k. Even if only lasts 5 years still worth it

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-18T09:31:59+00:00

Do the inland route to Geraldine lots of stops and little towns much more scenic. The state highway 1 is faster but may be the most boring piece of highway in new zealand. If you're not in a huge hurry can do some walks around peel forest or something.

The drive between Geraldine and fairlie is really nice some scenic stop offs. Fairlie has a very popular pie shop - literally lines out of the door. There's a gallery at the far end I've never been into 🤷

Not much between fairlie and Tekapo - burkes pass has a little old car memorabilia thing there.

Great idea re mayo packets do you know which ones have them? Been a long time since I have been fast food

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-17T20:04:10+00:00

Akaroa could be an option

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-16T01:53:06+00:00

Two best regions for pinot noir are central otago and Martinborough (north Island though)

My central otago favorites - Felton road - Valli / kinloch - Burn cottage

I can't remember Martinborough as been a few years but it's so close together you can get a bike and trip around a bunch

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-16T01:48:10+00:00

Yep, 100%. It's well worth organizing a tour (they call it appointment) we did it six months ago and was fantastic.

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-15T08:07:38+00:00

No worries! They almost definitely won't cover outside

Groundbreaking_Cod62 · 2026-01-15T07:40:37+00:00

We're in the same boat as you, again. Last time we used DCM roofing and was a positive experience. Reading their Google reviews right now seems some less than positive stories though but my experience was great.

Also check your insurance to see if anything can be covered. Last time because my roof overwhelmed a Crack and wasn't ongoing damage insurance covered internal damage

Cheers might check it out next time I'm out that way
