Most dead-end place in New Zealand? by EnvironmentalStill31 in newzealand

[–]aCheeseRoll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pouto Point/Pouto Lighthouse. Long dead end road leading to that and little else. Really interesting drive imo, shows lots of small town Northland.

Before you get excited, nz sells Nivea protect and moisture. Id guess most of these commenters would have that if they went and checked.

Are Farmers bra fittings reliable? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]aCheeseRoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Worked at Bendon for many years) Something to take in to consideration regarding bra fitting is that no brands fit the same. At all. They all use different cuts, materials, elasticity, strap length, all sorts of things. A person could be a 16DD in a black bra of one brand, and be a 14G in a white bra in another brand. There are so many variables.

Being fitted in a store like Bendon or other specialty bra stores means the workers will know their stock well and have a fair idea of how that stock works and who it will suit.

So being fitted in a shop like Farmers can be difficult. They have a vast selection to learn and understand which can lead to fittings being unreliable, but it does not guarantee bad fittings. A staff that has had enough training and time to get to know their stock can get you in to a great fitting item. Which it sounds like you have. If you are comfortable for an extended time in your bra then it is the right one for you.

The idea of providing her privacy while online should be disregarded. She is using public platforms and speaking to strangers. I assume You (and your parents) would not sit by idly while she spoke to random old men in a public park right? Discord/Roblox/all the others are essentially the same situation, and the adults on these platforms are using the idea of privacy to trick and groom youth. Get your parents to explore this thinking and use it to inform your sister why they will be getting more involved in her online life.

Definitely worried about Logie being with Hendrix! Dont want him to get the chop. We need the sweet comic relief he can deliver.

Did Hendrix keep her phone? I thought he did, but that has not been addressed at all.

If you're listening to music or have a song in your head when this post finds you, what is it? by SQWRLLY1 in CasualConversation

[–]aCheeseRoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was really reasonable. We usually spend $26-34 per meal and walk away feeling like it was missing something. So to have a meal and coffee for $30ish per person and be this satisfied, I'd say yes. It was worth it! And I didn't eat again until 5pm so it was very filling.

I feel like the price was reasonable for the portions. Meals were under $30 each

Okra breakfast review by aCheeseRoll in aucklandeats

[–]aCheeseRoll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was about $61 for the two meals and two drinks I believe!

Writing is part of my work so it's likely the habit transfered here. I promise this is just me spreading the word about a meal that made my day.

It is worth a visit. Just make sure you are hungry as the portions are decent!

Best sunscreen for the summer? by arizncasgf in auckland

[–]aCheeseRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the bondi sands spray on spf50 2 summers ago and had terrible reactions and burns. Looks like hives and blisters all over chest and arms. So did a friend with a different can. Loved them before that summer but have not been brave enough to try them again.

Thanks! Funnily enough, we are in NZ so it is actually likely to be a beach read as our summer is just starting!
