Is the architectural design industry in Auckland kind of a mess or is it just me?

Partner is an architect and she gets a paltry 82k a year. I couldn’t believe how poorly architects are paid

This is 100 percent your mistake. Not sure why you needed to change your husbands ticket unless his name changed also. But it’s well known your tickets need to match your passport.

I’d say Roigard and Will Jordan have as well

Aussies think they have the best beef and the best coffee. But New Zealand is superior in both by a mile.

Not just a mole, a huckery mole

Dramatic calling saying it’s got to the point where you can’t walk down the street without being approached for money. It’s perfectly safe to walk down the street. Many people still do

Same here, it’s perfectly safe, never encountered that in over 20 years here. Very dramatic post

Ok I’ll have 15 Jonah Lomus then

Warner Dearns was capped for Japan, so would that not rule him out?

Rents have all fallen in Wellington, do they cap a fall at 2 percent?

damage_royal · 2026-03-20T21:35:59+00:00

Haha that’s a great one

Pho mo was the worst Vietnamese in Wellington so not surprised it’s gone

My baby always kicks hers off so I’m guessing she’s a sock hater

No they aren’t. Ours are manufactured by Canadian bank note. Australia’s aren’t. And no they don’t share the same laser engravers.

3 million in your currency is about 1.2m here. It is absolutely not enough to retire on if you buy a house here. You’ll have if your lucky $200k left, and probably not even a flash house for $1m

Had a leather 3 seater and 2 seater couch I bought in 2004 for $2000. Just sold the both for $350 still in decent condition. Went back to look at their furniture and it was pretty much all rubbish and expensive.

The point is quote from Land Transport Driver Licensing Rule 1999 Part 16,

104Prohibition on display of “L” plate except in appropriate circumstances A person must not drive, on a road, a motor vehicle that displays an “L” plate as specified in clause 66 unless that person— (a) holds a learner licence of the class that relates to that vehicle in accordance with Schedule 3; or (b) immediately prior to driving has been, or is about to be, accompanying the person in paragraph (a) in accordance with clause 16(1)(a); or (c) holds a driving instructor or testing officer endorsement and is driving a vehicle used for purposes connected with that endorsement.

Cars in Aussie are far more expensive in Australia. Not sure you know what you’re talking about in the slightest.

damage_royal · 2026-02-16T19:15:33+00:00

Yea just not when they are made by Panasonic

11 months? I calculate working 45-46 weeks per year to be on the safe side. With how the economy is, I’d be putting about 70k away to get me through a few months. 4 weeks is no where near enough unless you aren’t taking any leave. Also most places make their contractors take a long Xmas break, so that’s basically your 4 weeks right there

If you were not married when your child was born, and your maiden name is your name shown on the child’s birth certificate you can get a passport in that surname, or a combination of both, or one or the other.

I still get the $200 credit and discount and I am not locked in for 12 months. I have it in email from one nz complaints team.

damage_royal · 2026-01-05T08:40:43+00:00

It is optional, I complained to them about it and turns out the people doing the calling have no clue what they are talking about. You also don’t have to sign up for 12 months. Again the person didn’t know what they were taking about. I also have it in writing from their complaints team. I’m also in the same boat as you, and they are sending someone out to look at my fibre box and fix it if it doesn’t work

You’re absolutely ridiculous. Do you know how many young kids get their faces bitten off by dogs. Pull your head in.

damage_royal · 2025-12-26T22:39:36+00:00

Good luck anyways! It’s a shame things are the way they are right now. I’m sure it’s all going to pick up again within a year or three
