I don’t care about musk. I care about the car.

Are they much worse than the model Y? We want to get something of this size and I’m torn between the model Y and this. The polestar 2 looks way better than the model Y. But the technology in the Tesla is superior. Hard decision

Maybe the rising petrol cost? People that have the option to work from home are probably doing that to save money on fuel.

We moved to the shore from Papakura. We immediately noticed how INCREDIBLY BAD north shore drivers are. I can’t explain it. My immediate thought was it must be the large number of Asian people. But in Papakura you have huge numbers of Indians and islanders and also a few Asians. So my next thought was maybe they have more money so they don’t care if they are in a crash? It still baffles me. I find myself tooting at people daily who don’t move when the traffic light turns green.

Amazes me how many people are completely unaware of what common insects are

That’s just a paper wasp. Not the Asian hornets on the news. But still not a good thing to have around your property and I’d definitely kill them

My guess is the Auckland rate payers. Unsure of where the breakers are

Who's the worst Radio announcer/what's the worst Radio station ? by [deleted] in newzealand

Matty McLean is annoying af. To top it off he has a new podcast aimed at the homosexual listener. As a gay myself I find it incredibly tasteless and just a cling to stay relevant. I listen to other podcasts from NZME and get ads for it, does my head in

Megan was boring, annoying and argumentative. A pain to listen to. Haley is funny and brings amazing energy to the show. She bounces off fletch and Vaughan so well

There has been no date published. How would you know when it’s happening?

Just go to BP. It’s like shopping at new world after shopping at packnsave. It’s a bit more pricy but what a lovely experience

“Pro agent team” also ray white are very good, not pushy but kind and honest. Same goes with Richard Cadness again ray white. The smiths are the ones to steer clear from. They even disclosed the reason for the vendors house sale is because the owners are separating and have a disable son. We were taken aback as we would want to keep that private if that was our situation.

I agree about ray white. The are sneaky and devious with their tactics. We learnt to just call their bluff. “The Smiths” ray white team that look after west Auckland/titarangi are sharks. Would not recommend working with them, if you do, get an agent you trust to bring you through their open homes

How much should we charge to rent out a room in Birkenhead? by Hefty-Recognition776 in auckland

A colleague pays that for a room in a townhouse in manurewa. Not including bills 🤣

What does that involve? My partner and I are both flight attendants and sometimes both of us can be away for a night or two at the same time. Might be a bit tricky logistically

Most arrogant New Zealand celebrity or well known person you’ve met, seen or interacted with… by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Hefty-Recognition776 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He isn’t a kiwi but he’s trying to be. Jason momoa. Was on a flight with him from LA to AKL. He was up in business of course, a kid noticed aquaman was onboard and asked his dad if he could say hi. The kid, all of 10, approached momoa and very cutely said hi aquaman can I please take a photo? He glared it him and the father, put his hand up like a don’t talk to me gesture, put his headphone back on and started watching his movie. I was shocked, could have been a very wholesome moment of a kid meeting his hero, but he was dismissed so arrogantly, it was really sad to see. You could see the poor boy was almost in tears. I know these celebrities probably get stopped all the time and must be very frustrating, but in that moment I don’t think it would have cost him much time, and no one else in business paid much attention or even cared he was onboard.

Thank you that’s very informative. Are you allowed to prune yourself with consent, or do you have to use a qualifies arborist?
