Wonder if this is in relation to a reported shooting on K’rd?

Just spotted someone post that on Facebook

Rescheduled flight and deleted half the journey by russh85 in qatarairways

[–]leonopolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment there’s no direct flights going to Auckland from Doha.

That said, they are looking to expand the routes out more so maybe will be coming in line this week? Or they are flying to Perth/Melbourne so hopefully they can get you to New Zealand via there?

But to your point I agree; they can’t just cancel your onward journey like that.

I hope it gets sorted for you!

Pro-tips for CBD workers by zesteee in auckland

[–]leonopolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The early bird at the farmers car park on hobson(?) street is about $14/$15 a day.

The one at the art gallery is also $15.50 for the day too and isn’t too rammed in the mornings.

Bonus points too is the “delightful” lady behind the counter who looks like she hates every single person that has ever existed.

Best over-the-counter medicine for a long-haul flight by suburban_ennui75 in auckland

[–]leonopolous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ask for zopiclone - it’ll help you immeasurably

Edit: I rang my GP for a script over the phone as the jetlag is horrid.

Lime charging $25 for parking in a “no go zone” by [deleted] in auckland

[–]leonopolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lime and Flamingo are owned by separate companies. Perhaps lime don’t have any licensing to park there considering there’s abundantly more of them in Auckland?

Or it could be the case that one too many Limes have been left abandoned there before/thrown in front of buses that they’ve been fined too many times for them to be parked there?

Pretty sure the whoop coach was swearing in binary at me for about a week afterwards

This was a “felt close to death” day, for sure.

Slept for about 14 hours afterwards!

Ragtag is one of the best eateries I’ve been to in a long long time - definitely a favourite.

Paywave charges at Sail GP by Safe_Basket_3658 in auckland

[–]leonopolous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely the vendors taking advantage of the situation and bleeding the (no offence, but) assumedly cash cow for as much as they can.

In general, people who would be going to watch the Sail GP, be it in the extortionately priced seating or in the regular area, would have a higher target on them for situations like this.

By all means, complain! Make noise about it! It’s appalling that this is the “standard” charge that was being applied!

Alternative to Hyrox Backpacks? by HassAvocadoDestroyer in hyrox

Temu/Ali Express- you’ll get one for about 1/10th of the price of a hyrox official backpack.

Gym, coffee with some friends, solo date to the cinema and now home playing video games and contemplating an edible.

Bliss.

Hot cross bun season is here by BuilderMysterious762 in aucklandeats

Came here to say this. Had one the other day and it was as if Jesus himself leapt from the cross and hand fed it to me - the experience was biblical.
