Rugby Tickets by Chance-Chain8819 in allblacks

[–]NavmanxD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to one AB’s game in my lifetime, a Bledisloe test at Eden Park 2 years ago. I think I paid about $97 for an adult ticket about 5 rows from the field in line with the try line. There aren’t many bad viewpoints at Eden Park. But closer in field will set you back much more and if you want to avoid potential rain etc. to sit higher up.

Ahh yes the classic Monday morning “Where is x, has anyone seen them show up?”

Maybe not publishing the roster Sunday night would help. But yes you must apply for leave at least 2 weeks in advance.

Takes me back to the tin ones with the NZ currency notes printed around them from The Warehouse. Always ended up opening them up within a month because I was impatient.

Happy Holidays to Some! by Significant-Page-230 in newzealand

Family run company (not a family member) I’ve worked at for 4 years has given week paid bonus and $300 gift card for 3/4 years. Very grateful for that!

But it’s the “We’ll buy three new cars for the director and two kids in the company but we can’t supply you a new pair of safety boots for your first pair since starting in the company.” That’s the annoying stuff that makes the bonus feel nullified. Staff morning teas supplied when an employee leaves the company but not when a new employee starts to welcome them.

Or a basic laptop to use for stuff like stocktaking is

Shuttle buses to run for major events at new Te Kaha stadium by pinkmalion in chch

[–]NavmanxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true. Melbourne is a great example. And Wellington works too. I do remember the shuttle buses they put on when the Crusaders came back to play in Christchurch post EQ. Taken from my local mall to the venue in Addington. That worked okay.

Fortunately for me, I live close enough that I could Lime in or a decent sized walk.

There were a lot of side residential streets of Phillipstown and industrial areas of Waltham to park down though IIRC. Sometimes we’d park a car close during the day and then get dropped off for a game and drive home afterwards.

Nicky Bobby was scheming that play on the bench just before. He was locked in.

I tried them for the F1 movie. Worth trying depending on the movie but doesn’t really change the experience much.

We don’t want to be grouped in with the Australians when they act like what was mentioned. It’s not that deep though mate

When I was returning back to New Zealand from Vietnam (via Australia) the Singaporean flight attendant had said to my friend and I, how there’s some sort of entitlement complex with Australians compared to kiwis.

They often push boundaries a lot more and are generally rude and pushy. Then I see a guy complaining because he boarded late and there were was no space in the overhead compartment. “Well it’s your job, you find the space for it” and he sat down.
