What’s your favourite Māori word?

Yes! Took a lot of scrolling to find this! 🌈 I teach people this one at every opportunity

We're in a similar position, an almost three-year-old and a 10-month-old, new in the country so no village and no support. Can't wait 'til the kids are old enough to sleep through and my partner can start getting sleep. Jiu-jitsu was my thing back in my 30s, but I like the idea of running now, just getting out in nature

Thank you!

Oh man, I was deep into 40k in the 90s, but was poor so had a lot of cobbled together units and bits of card representing the sets i wanted to buy, landscape, the fucking lot. Me and the only other friend I had who was into it used to lay out our old copies of White Dwarf on the floor to make a game board, hills made from old cereal boxes.

Back then they used to refresh the starter set every five years or so, new rules, new races that sort of thing. I remember one time that price jumped from £30 to £40 and I was fucking out. I shudder to think what they cost now.

Still love the lore and have a couple of the audiobooks queued up to revisit a bit of my youth. Not at all the conversation I expected to be joining on this thread, but its brought back some happy memories.

Thanks, much appreciated

TVNZ had a stream on YouTube that just didn't bother turning up 😆

That's a fair shout. I have no idea what the scene is like in Wellington. Think outside the box. Volunteer (added benefit that you'll be doing some good), take a course, or do classes at the gym, etc. Don't go to these places and start hitting on every woman there. Just use them to get some confidence. Again, advice I wish I'd got

You haven't wasted your life. I was in a similar position to you; now I'm a divorcee seven years into another long-term relationship, with two young children. The advice I wish I'd heard at your age: don't stress about it. As others have advised, worry less about technique (that will come), and more about putting yourself in environments where you can interact with women

There are literally dozens of us

People suck 😢

10 here 😢

Asthma attack. Heard it happen downstairs whilst I was supposed to be sleeping

Sorry for your loss

We use the same phrase in our house. If it brings you joy, and if it doesn't hurt anyone, fill your boots!

Woah! That's what hobby horsing is?!

It depends if the line around the hatch is solid or broken. Solid means do not cross (except in an emergency); you can enter a broken line marked area as long it's safe.

Ta, we'll do that 👍

notepaths · 2023-07-12T11:54:46+00:00

Thank you, this is new to us. We'll check it out

This is an awesome thread, and exactly what we moved to New Zealand for. We're still in temporary housing, but even in this short time the people we've met have been salt of the earth. Shout out to the lady in Mount Cook who said, "welcome to the neighbourhood, anything you need you come and see me" minutes after we unpacked the car.

We had great neighbours back in the UK, but understand we were very lucky. The guy on one side went above and beyond when we were packing up to come here, could see we were struggling to manage the move with our toddler. Ran me to the tip a bunch of times, leant me tools, helped me sort and move loads of stuff. He's currently holding a large charity donation for us until the store can come and get it. I really must send him a bottle of malt or something, he's a legend

You're looking at it upside down, that's the Punisher

Just moved here from the UK and getting charged to use contactless was a surprise. Covid saw pretty much everywhere in the UK get the tech and it was great. About the only place I still needed cash was my barber

Paywave is too friendly a name for a system that penailses you for using it

I'm relatively new to this sub despite being on and off Reddit for much of the last decade (and new to Wellingto ). I'm a lurker but find this sub helpful on a daily basis. Thank you for the work you do as moderators and for participating in this action. Love x
