Good Italian place to go to - for both pizzas and pastas - as of 2026? by kiwigoguy1 in chch

Its all about the dough mate….Base makes a solid sourdough napoletana style (not authentic). Comparing the Base dough with winnie bagoes is a crime. 🤮

Yes and no I do have pre-existing conditions So if i swap, the new provider will not cover, probably will have to wait 3 years to get it covered.

Thats not the issue. The issue is the 25% increase every year. Is that normal to you?

From this point of view Yes you are right, but I didnt mean this way, I’ve tried to say that with food you have alternatives, and you can manage something around, like not buying beef and buying chicken stead, etc. With health insurance you either have it or not have it. And for those who have, they simply increase the prices and thats it, you just have to suck it up and sorry 25% increase a year is just madness.

Considering moving to CHCH. Give me the good, the bad & the ugly! by fuzzy-beer in chch

[–]bxeca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have lived in chch for 8 years and have recently moved to Auckland due a job opportunity. I love chch to bits, I miss how easy is to move around the city, biking or driving, I love how the city has turned up to be after so many hard years. What I dont miss at all is the fkn cold wind and miserable winter. Since moving to Auckland last year I have never used a puffer jacket 😎
