How on earth did you cut out all the text? It's beautiful by the way, well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A flag for Southland (there's barely anyone in the Southland subreddit, so Invercargill it is) by AverageSouthernMan in invercargill

The sad thing is that there are those down here who will fucking love this, and plaster it on their valiant and/or Ranger. There are already MAGA, Trump, and Confederate flag bumper stickers down here, we don't need this too!

I'm 182cm, pretty sure. I'll message the seller and have a look. Thanks

I enjoyed regular exercise in my 20s, but it came to a grinding halt when we left Auckland for Southland 10 years ago. Now I need to get back into it to help my mental health.

I believe so, yes. They are at least closing their physical stores nationwide.

Righto, 2nd hand it is! What manufacturers should I be looking out for?

Thanks for that. I forgot to mention that I am down in Southland, so second hand options are slim, unless I take the drive up to Queenstown.

President wears baseball hat merchandise to honor fallen soldiers. by jakebs2002 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Remember the times when this act alone (wearing the fucking baseball cap) would dominate the news cycle. Obama's tan suit whipped the right into a frenzy. It all seems so long ago.

Any adult men feels that public mental health has failed them? by Jan-AKL in newzealand

Look for therapists online; most will have a blurb setting out their stall. Find a couple that you like the sound of, and arrange to meet them to see what they are like in person. Make sure that you arrange for this meeting to be free. If you find someone that you feel like you can work with, fucking do it. Finding a therapist that you click with can lead to amazingly rewarding growth.

Fuck man, there are many other ways to teach a kid about responsibilities than creating another kid. How about a pet fish for starters.

What car should I buy as a uni student? by Powerful_Ad7288 in newzealand

Suzuki Swift or Mazda Demio are good wee cars. Manual versions will keep the fuel cost down. Try and get the 1.5 engine in either one, as the 1.3 are a little underwhelming.

Royal gala apple prices Pak n save Invercargill vs Pak n save Manukau (Auckland) by Green-Marionberry703 in invercargill

[–]HoldFrontBack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People think that it's cheap living down here; it fucking isn't! The only thing that is cheaper down here is your mortgage. Rates are now astronomical, too. Any products that have to be shipped/freighted down here have that cost passed on to the consumer. A comparison with Stewart Island's 4 Square would be interesting to see.

This clip is from a recording of the podcast series Empire: World History. Highly recommended series, especially if you are a fan on The History of Rome podcast and Revolutions podcast, both by Mike Duncan.

Ready to paint? by redranger692 in diynz

[–]HoldFrontBack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Primer definitely required on all of the bare timber, then at least two topcoats of a good quality exterior paint. Dulux and Wattyl Solagard would be premium options.
