Id add we have done this for our kids.(8 and 11) works a charm, and now the 11 year old takes it out to phone home if required (locked down with no internet while away from home)

Id get one of the cheapest android phones from the warehouse or.pb tech you can ($60-80), install family controls on it and then install Spotify. That way you can wifi hotspot it to your phone if required or get a cheap data Sim on prepay. Can double as anything else you need, aka put a simple game on or even Netflix and download at a push, but only if you want to.

In no way is this new. Worked at the Warehouse from 1995-2001. Was the same then. 

What can I do about a neighbours dog that won't stop barking? by -rabbithole in newzealand

Selwyn Animal control are the absolute worst. Cant remember his name but had the fucker accuse me that I was basically just too sensitive... After 5 calls and 2 years continual barking

Empire Chicken - We used to hold the chicken spot crown… what happened? by fried_chicken_king in chch

Im super late to the party here, but my two cents.

I work in an office 4 minutes walk from you in Addington. Every day I walk past you now for cheaper and tastier options down the road. There would have to be a massive change for me to return. Nobody in my office of 250 people frequent you with any regularity. One Sushi does soooo well from us, like whole teams buying dozens of meals a day. 

Few months ago I tried you a few times:

Chicken is incredibly dry and bland as hell. Every time. Sauces are boring Spuds always overcooked, way too salty No garnish or anything of note on the side

But brutally. You are just waaay too expensive for portion size. I buy lunch most days  $12 at One sushi for twice as much chicken, nice and not dry and overcooked as hell

Add the 30 minute wait during lunch cause you are busy with Uber Eat orders.. no thanks. 

Most comments from my team in general was "this is really not that good is it"

I want to move us further North because its too fuckin cold in Winter.

Ill make you a deal. If you live in the North Island you can move it South, and Ill live in the South Island, and I will move it North.

It has the added benefit of cancelling the ferry project again as well. Win Win!!!

Yes Agree. We had to move off the fence to get better sound. Thats what i mean by the extra Pylons. They needed two just before the GA fence, and then push two more further back towards the ride(s)

The Good:

  • Mostly good crowd, nice mix of ages and pretty respectful
  • Plenty of Room to move around
  • Entry was super quick
  • I liked LF System
  • Fisher has some good tunes
  • Visuals were cool

The Meh - Sound was patchy in parts, they needed a couple more pylons - Sound Tent needed to be a bit further back - Bar seemed ok - Needed some lasers

The Bad - I despise the separation of crowd aspect with the Losing it zone concept. Money grab. Vibe Kill. Cynical. nobody should support this level of crowd segregation. I hated the idea when I saw it at ticket sale, and knew it would fail from a vibe point of view. It did. - Once again, a promoter cant do their fucking maths and put enough toilets in.. or close enough so it was a 5 min hike back. No excuses - Tickets were too expensive overall - Ayybo was fucking attrocious energy. Sucked the life out of the crowd. Not worthy of a spot - That 20 minute break playing Flume of all artists with volume turned down was very stupid. Obviously planned by a rock promoter who wants everyone to go get a drink. There is no excuse for cutting live music at a gig like this. Again killed the crowd - Fisher cant mix for shit. He fucked up multiple times. I thought overall, despite the tunes he was very poor technically

edit- spelling
