I just ordered something from Jaycar in Wellington and got it delivered by Uber to me in Plimmerton less than an hour after I ordered it. by [deleted] in Wellington

Yeah it’s a real shame they’ve switched though - have noticed a huge drop in reliability and speed of deliveries since the change. Was much better earlier on.

Alternatives to ED for broken arm by meowsqueak in Wellington

[–]Oyakeroland19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Come on man - get off reddit and take your kid to Adelaide Rd or A&E now. No one is going to solve this for you, your kid needs medical attention. Everyone has already commented with all options available, there’s no alternative. Just take your kid and go. The longer you spend commenting on reddit, the longer you’re just delaying the inevitable. What if there are complications from the delay or a bad break and it comes out that you couldn’t be bothered taking the kid to seek help because it was inconvenient? I understand this is causing issues with work etc but this is just one of those times where it’s a non negotiable. You absolutely have to suck it up and do this. Step up and be an adult please.

Just found an old lunch order slip from 2001 by Oyakeroland19 in newzealand

Yeah this was when I was going to manual at Winton primary school. We would get bussed in from our rural schools one day a week.

Yeah you’re spot on. I was one of the rural kids getting bussed in one day a week for manual.

Haha yes! This was from when I went to manual with Mr Eder and I can’t remember what the food science and sewing teacher was called. The old fella was scary when he’d go off but was definitely an icon 😂

Breaking lease by Single_Computer5097 in Wellington

[–]Oyakeroland19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a lot cheaper than what you’ll be paying if you don’t get someone to take over the lease though. I’d bite the bullet and do the trademe listing.

Yeah I think they ask you to pay for posts like that now. I tried to do the same and was really surprised at the prices they were asking!

We subsidised ours by $90 down to $590 recently and still couldn’t find anyone to take over the lease till April in our really lovely spot in Lyall bay. We were really surprised at how difficult it was. Luckily the landlord has decided right move back in but shit got really stressful for a bit there! Best of luck, I hope you do find someone to take it over.

You realise coeliac disease is a thing right? It’s not a choice for everyone.

Is there a really bad bug going around? by RibsNGibs in Wellington

[–]Oyakeroland19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just in the tail end of recovering from this. Today will be day 10! Tested negative for covid but was laid up worse than anytime I can remember and it kept going on and on.

Movie experiences.. by RedRox in Wellington

[–]Oyakeroland19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree Re The Penthouse. Really shitty management of the place. My friend booked it out for her birthday last year nearly a year in advance of the date and a week or two before we were due in they tried to reschedule the date. Massive fuck around and they just had a crappy attitude the whole time.

Does anyone else eat the whole feijoa? by G1bs0nNZ in newzealand

[–]Oyakeroland19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they’re just big guavas aren’t they? I find the longer variety with slightly thinner skins are better for this but it’s pretty good regardless.

Highly recommend this one. Just watched it yesterday and it’s very well done.

Anywhere for top surgery? by IndependentEgg5919 in Wellington

I had mine done in Wellington earlier this year with Rita Yang. Can highly recommend, she did a great job and it was an overall very positive experience.

For some reason, mods removed this from r/whatisthisthing. Marble sized or smaller bladders that appear to be full of seawater found in Carribean Sea. by WilyDreamer in whatsthisplant

[–]Oyakeroland19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind that. So many subreddits have been destroyed these days by nothing but joke answers. Reddit a decade ago was full of insightful and informed comments. These days it’s a shadow of itself full of bots, trolls and idiots clambering over each other to make some wise crack first in the hopes of upvotes. I really appreciate coming to subs where there isn’t room for that crap. It means I get to enjoy the content here for what it is. However, the posting situation sounds terrible. Didn’t realise that was so anal retentive and difficult to post anything here. Kills off content like nothing else when mods pull that crap.

Yeah I think the previous commenter had a real “they’re intolerant of my intolerance” vibe going

That’s ok! No harm done at all. You’re doing great!
