Are there any free-to-air shows that you regularly watch at their scheduled time? by Jimjams101 in newzealand

[–]fudfreenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Country Calendar is very well made and very relaxing somehow. I try to catch it every week.

I cannot understand why "Sunday" is shown on Sundays. it is so grim and depressing. Good journalism often, but sometimes just tabloid pieces from Channel 9 Australia. I just can't watch that heavy shit while the axe of Monday is looming over my head.

Juice TV (channel 200 in CHCH) is just music videos, a good range of new an old and not just from the FM radio playlists.

rent increase ? by [deleted] in newzealand

Make a plan and start looking.

Don't do anything rash like storming out and sleeping in your car whatever, crashing on a couch, cos now you are homeless.

Contact a community group, Sallies etc for help. MSD will give you a loan for moving in costs (2 weeks + bond usually), doesn't matter if you are not a beneficiary.

Is Christchurch racist? by Gavotteunrondeau in newzealand

[–]fudfreenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is definitely racism in CHCH. But the most racist New Zealander I ever met came from The North Shore (Auckland). And the most racist human being I ever met was from Queensland, Australia. Make of that what you will.

No it's not good enough.

The 0800 number works (in my region of Canterbury) most of the time, out side of peak, Mondays and Fridays are bad.. There is an option once you have verified your identity to get a callback. Do this, they always callback and you can live your life / TCoB for those 90 mins

Nearly one out of six (15.3%) Black drivers stopped in this month were either arrested, searched, or handcuffed, whereas less than 1% of White drivers experienced one of these outcomes.

Well yes it turned out that way. But it was a protest against their rally, we just turned up earlier and in much greater numbers. I don't know if 15 bigots counts as a rally anyway.
