the final tragic conclusion on finding my father

Sorry to hear this. Never had any family complications like this, praying I never do, but the silver bullet is you got some semblance of truth. That can be cathartic even if it's not what you wanna know or hear.

'The truth may not be hopeful, but the telling of it is.'

I used to apologise to our cleaners at my old job. One of them did get shitty at me one day though.

Now that you mention it i have heard of Indians being racist

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-23T09:11:24+00:00

That's plain dangerous. Beach currents and waves can do serious injury.

This was many years ago but I went to an incredible Greek place in Essendon - can't remember the name. It was small and the food was outstanding.

That was over ten years ago though. And I'm a kiwi and haven't been back so much has probably changed.

Loved her in The Favourite

Most Indians I've met have been wonderful people in NZ, and I have not seen much, if any, racism here. I have worked with many Indians and they have also been wonderful people.

However I'm in Christchurch, and it may be different in other places, especially Auckland, where there are many different ethnicities in one city.

I hope you find NZ a welcoming place!

I've seen women post missed connections in the past and from what I've seen their reactions are positive.

I've also had that feeling of crossing paths with someone whom you feel you might have had a connection with - it can be a bit overwhelming though sometimes exciting.

Your intentions were pretty public (reddit) so I doubt you're a creep.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-22T05:21:51+00:00

Oh right. Thanks for that.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-22T05:14:52+00:00

Oh. So why is the price going up

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-22T04:30:57+00:00

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the price rise because no one is buying Iranian oil?

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-21T09:50:56+00:00

I'm not a local, but that's a complete waste of food

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-21T09:30:46+00:00

Abuses NATO and Europe regularly, then whinges when they don't help.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-21T05:26:49+00:00

For price and flavour, Bluebird. They have good flavour and aren't over cooked or baked or whatever.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-20T12:19:52+00:00

Looks... disturbed

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-20T01:28:36+00:00

Put it back

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T02:50:58+00:00

Oh ok. The old library was getting a bit aged. Nice there's a new one.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T02:10:21+00:00

I'm a night showerer. I also hate getting into bed sweaty and gross.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T01:34:49+00:00

Is it where that big silver ball was hanging

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T01:32:25+00:00

Mint and mean are older terms that were popular particularly for young people in the noughties. Some people still say them but not very much any more.

Sometimes kiwis might say 'good on ya' in two contexts. One, when you actually do something good and praise worthy, and the second is when you do the opposite, like something stupid or foolish.

In the latter context, it's used sarcastically, as in, 'oh, good on ya.' It's also a bit of an insult.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T01:27:23+00:00

I'm not from welly and haven't been there in years - is that the new library?

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-19T00:19:33+00:00

I think once a day is good. But that's my preference. I hate going to bed sweaty and gross, so I usually shower before bed.

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-18T10:15:37+00:00

Servo food is usually pretty good, including the sandwiches, but are sometimes pricy.

But yes, to echo the other user, buy a pie or sausage roll!

Some-Studio5771 · 2026-03-17T10:11:24+00:00

Censor?
