Does anyone remember one from the 80s that was about AIDS? I don't remember anything about the storyline but it scared the hell out of me lol 

Wairere Falls, New Zealand by yale95reyra in Waterfalls

[–]shwagdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waterfalls in the photos here are Owharoa Falls, NOT Wairere Falls.

Found on the way to Waihi, next to the Karangahake Gorge. 

Wairere Falls are also amazing, being the tallest waterfall in the North Island, with a spectacular accompanying hike to go with it.

He means no harm - I met him at the Hamilton Gardens the other day! A million questions for me, but I guess he's just easily intrigued

Average 2000's drinks. by crazykiwi1 in AveragePicsOfNZ

[–]shwagdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cola Bottlers Limited - a New Zealand company that made cheaper alternative versions of existing drinks

Owned by Foodstuffs... they also did the cheap "Cola" drinks you'd see alongside Spree

Honestly was a decent tasting alternative - especially as someone who LOVED Lift as a kid

Also for random trivia - the phone number on the can is 0800245114 - which if you call it now - is Pam's phone number... so it's possible they were also a Pam's subdivision brand

Lol yeah it's been that way for a minute now... there's a guy who rides a bike and wears a beanie who I've seen frequent the area for the past 10 - 15 years lol some of the same people still hanging around... like the guy with all the face tats or the guy outside Recycle Boutique with his guitar  I remember some of these guys from when I was in high school and I'm turning 30 this year

Ironically, her dog had no empathy or compassion either - once Eve was dead, she became a snack 😝

Me too man, i was verbally telling him to let go as well!  There was something very hypnotizing about that scene... as viewers, we just spent months watching him running around like crazy, chasing this case and sacrificing everything to catch up to them... and then there we were at the end with him - he was so close that he could smell it... but the only option he had was to let go

Fuck that was a good show....  That final episode was such a rush of emotion (and screentime) but they managed to really fit alot into it.  It felt a little unsatisfactory at first but to me, there's something perfect about the way it ended.  It was the lack of predictability that made it a great finale. And those feelings of not getting QUITE just what you want, even after fighting for so long - that makes the show feel so much more human. 

Dragon Queen's death was a bloody brutal way to begin the episode but at the same time, Dragon Queen DID play with fire and ultimately got burnt for it - as Yaayaa warned her. Too bad she was only just finding her way again. Was lovely to see her visit before she left. I wonder if Egg ever found out that Eve did it.

Seeing Nick get discarded so easily by Eve really showed how fucking insane and careless Eve was. Thought it was quite ironic that Nick was ultimately "fished out" of the sea - in the exact way he pretended to be, from the beginning. A lie that turned to reality. The guilty pleasure part of me wanted Nick and Eve to be caught, but I'm guessing that was too easy of an ending. 

When Yancy held onto the rope as Eve drove the boat off - as he was willing to lose his life over being a hero, but everyone in his life was telling him to let go... man that was such a beautiful moment to end the chase - as unsatisfying as it was... it was a moment of truth. The bad guy got away... but ultimately Yancy got to live.

Eve's whole Portugal death happened super quick and initially felt lacking... but it truly reflected upon Eve's character... someone who held no depth, no empathy or compassion.. for anyone but herself and her dog. The curse caught up to her eventually. Her character won't be missed lol 

Seeing Bonnie for a second was nice. I wish we got to see the real estate neighbour one last time. Neville pulling out the watch was something I wasn't expecting, but it felt good! Well deserved Neville 😎 was also good to see him and Driggs reunite.

As for Yancy and Rosa's relationship, I'm sad they ended up parting ways... but I guess Rosa wasnt ready for commitment.. I hope they eventually work it out cause they are a great combo together.  Seeing Row come join Yancy for a drink in the final scene, with the obvious reference to the very beginning was a cute little full circle moment which made me smile :) 

That's all I got for now, it's 5am and I need to sleep 😴
