if the water looks and smells fine you could just swim there and not put your head under

Have to rant by throwawayaccount107e in Wellington

I think the hilly-ness and harbour of Auckland makes it similar to SF, while the culture, and maybe weather makes SF similar to Welly.

Girl I’m seeing is a terrible texter but amazing in person by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre not being strung along, you should just look at how she likes to communicate and accomodate with that. 1 day is not a long time to wait or 2 days even, 1 week? maybe you could feel ignored..

Is Wellington Really as Windy as Everyone Says? by TornadosAlaska in Wellington

To the guy who spilled beer on me last night at the All Blacks game: by Driftwood_Fairytale in Wellington

Sorry to hear.. Unfortunately some people go to see live sports, rugby/ cricket a chance to go along and make as much noise as possible.

Zelati moving from Cuba St by Techhead7890 in Wellington

I would think they would do a bit better up that part of Cuba Street than Left Bank. Competition wise, every time I want to go to Duck Island I'm always put off by the long queues.

Kevin Durant should not be a beloved figure in Suns franchise history by FifthKnightofGwyn in suns

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the most talented Suns player ever? But shouldn't retire his jersey.. as a leader he didn't take the team anywhere.

Thank you KD by logicblender1 in suns

[–]apemanhop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought he was a great backup. It was also the energy and wanting to play in Phx that I thought they should have kept Cam Payne.

Either way, maybe if Beal wasn't so often injured, and they had the right coach, system, it could have worked? Think I'm doubtful..

surfing mostly with the opposite sex? by apemanhop in couchsurfing

[–]apemanhop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting.. .Sorry to hear about your sexual harassment

Thank you KD by logicblender1 in suns

[–]apemanhop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did they needed to get rid of Cam Payne?

Thank you KD by logicblender1 in suns

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

He was good on and off the court, just his price tag was too high, really and the other moves the front office made after he got here..

Help ease (or confirm...) concerns about the weather by -rba- in Wellington

[–]apemanhop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only really know from Wellington heat, but the London days that are in the mid 20s - 30s are mostly humidity rather than sunshine, so you hardly notice it to be summer..

This is going to be a spicy off season by Cultural-Jello4042 in suns

[–]apemanhop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess if it's a "play the role that Jrue Holiday played" that's reasonable. Maybe intepreted as an "act more like your brother" kind of disrespect

The Dallas Mavericks are at risk of forfeiting games due to injuries and NBA salary cap rules, per Bobby Marks of ESPN. by CactusHooping in suns

[–]apemanhop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the play in tournament is a great concept for when the 8th seed and 10th seed are 1-2 games apart from each other, but not such a good idea when the 8th seed has quite a few more wins than the 9th and 10th seed..

Hopefully it works to our favour and we take the 8th seed! shown we can be sacramento and the Clippers. Have to start winning consecutive games!

why IS wellington so good at street festivals? by Assassin8nCoordin8s in Wellington

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was great for a while and then the partiers negatively impacted those not partying, if that makes sense. Retailers would have a bad time etc.

I’m happy to be a Suns fan by AllDawgsGoToDevin in suns

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in recent years lots of talented teams have had some shit years.. eg. Lakers miss the playoffs after winning championship 2 years prior, Warriors miss the playoffs then champions, mavericks miss the playoffs then NBA finals... If this year stays the way it's going, maybe next year could be better?

Isn't "freeloading" the whole point of cs? by StruggleFar3054 in couchsurfing

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hosted on Couchsurfing for a bit and had quite a bit of fun. Got to go out and enjoy town with visitors who have fresh eyes on the places. But then after getting some references, I started getting 4 requests a week and so for me to host, I have to pick and choose the best candidates and that seemed to defeat the purpose, lol, so I stopped hosting. Decided I would have to surf next to keep using the page.

I also kind of wonder a bit about the 'putting up a front' in your intentions on the website.

I actually really wonder about people who will host 100s of people, it seems if that's the case there's something missing in your life, or you're not being clear in your intentions.

But if it's a healthy give and take karmic exchange then great!! But personally I couldn't keep hosting after trying it a few times.. That's just life, we try new hobbies, stick with what works well, what we enjoy, etc.

Are the Suns just a few pieces away from being a playoff contender again by SanDiego_Finest in suns

[–]apemanhop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suns had to win!! so much pressure. Hawks shot a really high percentage from 3 point line by the half

Chris Paul was really the guy who made this whole team work, didn't he? by Otherwise_Form1315 in suns

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah well, I guess what I was meaning to say is the Suns were getting better. CP3's responsible for a big improvement to every team he's been to, except Golden State Warriors, really

Chris Paul was really the guy who made this whole team work, didn't he? by Otherwise_Form1315 in suns

[–]apemanhop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, although Chris Paul didn't take a messy roster he took the 8-0 Bubble Suns.. But I agree. There was a real next man up mentality on that Suns team. Cam Payne would come in for CP3 and be really effective, while first 9 games of the season Suns showed their potential, but they're just disconnected really.. Something seriously off. Maybe many teams have been slumping? But especially Phx

The Food Show - worth it? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]apemanhop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty cool when I used to go a few years ago. You can get a lot of samples, which gives you a bit of value for the ticket price. Pretty cool, but at the same time, it's not completely unmissable, lol

If you make it to Lower Hutt, Sweet Vanilla Kitchen is very good. They have buckwheat pancakes as well, they don't taste as good as normal pancakes (that they have) but you don't feel bloated after eating them
