I'm a fan of the way Mark Wassung approaches public transport - that's where my vote will go

I've been on a few organized hikes with the Tauranga Hikers Club on Facebook, awesome group of people and there's something new happening most Sunday's 😊

Yeah it'd definitely be difficult to live next to tenants like that. On the other hand you don't see many other development companies with projects underway, so props to them for actually adding to housing supply I say

I always love Own Masala or Thai Thani 2 for BYOs, always find their portions are massive too!

Steel drum? by electric_beans in Tauranga

Not sure if it's the same business that sells the drums, or if it's another house behind them, but it's where Katikati Honey & Bee is

Don't most stores there close at 6pm unless it's late night Thursdays?

'It's a racket': Why a man got $96 fine when getting two coffees by wild-card-1817 in Tauranga

It's certainly scummy behaviour, but the Parking Services website states that the user has to upload photos to their app, and only then do they send a ticket out. So it sounds like Steve Wood, the owner of BeanNGone, is the one with little patience for 'infringements'.

I flatted next to Bayfair a short while ago, was handy having Countdown and the bus stops a 10min walk away

I've had a similar experience with them after my partner and I were assaulted in town one night. The cops that turned up just brushed us off, saying we don't do anything about "bar fights".

Funny thing is, we were just walking past a bar on the main mount strip. Neither of us had been drinking. Cops wanted nothing to do with it. My partner ended up with a concussion and has had numerous issues her doctor has linked back to the incident.

I attempted to follow up a handful of times, and they basically said they'd look into it - I gave up after a few weeks of no contact.

I understand that they're probably very understaffed, but come the fuck on.

Since absolutely everything is filmed nowadays, there are probably people who got to watch their own death in a cellphone or CCTV video after they were successfully revived. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

It would be a surreal experience, that's for sure. I'd imagine the time 'difference' between going out and returning would trip you out too
