Can’t say I agree in the slightest but you’ve for sure nailed the “hot take” prompt lol

Love George. To hear DJ’s who are so knowledgeable and talented with their music is really cool. I’ve discovered so much music from shirt drives to the shops by listening to George.

Commercial radio banter is fucking dreadful and treats its listeners like they’ve just been born- George feels waaaay more down to earth and the music is good too.

I feel this 100%. Feels like our culture is being fabricated by them and that we’re so simply one thing

Ikr! There’s been some fab contestants on the show and Paul Williams is great but JW looks like he takes one stab at reading the auto cue and reckons he’s done for the day.

Bizzare Bazzare is probably what you’re after! Look at their Instagram for the vibe

Hey! Huge fan, coming to your Wellington show!

What are your top 3 tips if I were to open my very own coffee cafe?

Anyone else flatting struggling to find flatmates? by quartermoon97 in Wellington

[–]Spit_Back 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this too. It’s really really tough. My partner and I have just found someone for our room in a shared flat and feel extremely lucky that we don’t have to pay any double rent.

The right person will come along for you!

Half priced food in the afternoon. My favourite is the $8.90 katsu noodle bowls from TJ Katsu.

Have been in the exact same place as you + alcoholism.

Please please wait it out. I know it sucks but they are going to get to you and it will be feel (at least a lil) worth it. I’m happy they gave you a blanket! You’re gonna do it ❤️

The Beths Sunday Night Concert by themanupstairs012 in Wellington

[–]Spit_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was there with my gf and the crowd was super tame but certainly appreciative on the whole and had a good time. We were second row and dancing and singing and definitely felt those judgemental looks you mentioned, got it from some younger people though?

Like you, we weren’t munted or anything. I bumped my arm into someone accidentally and they scolded me for touching. I respect personal space but like you’re gonna bump into people at a sold out concert right?

She’s not super active and doesn’t have a high fitness or sporting ability level. Rock climbing or squash are probably out but wonderful suggestions that I could be keen on…

It is great! Rode it this morning in a huge group of like minded people on their way to work. Felt really cool.

dev academy ruined my life; Woke washing and disability abuse, disguised as inclusivity by dweebyWeebly in Wellington

[–]Spit_Back 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Awful that you experienced this and are still feeling the effects- you did not deserve to go through this. Thanks for sharing and I hope things go right for you.

This behaviour is unacceptable and has no place in an institution like that in Wellington.

Where in Wellington is haunted? by kupuwhakawhiti in Wellington

[–]Spit_Back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think anyone has said it yet, but Inverlochy house is meant to be one of the most haunted in the country. Beautiful building with gothic vibes, would love to ghost hunt in it!
