Foodie can be pricey and there is so much packaging but their fresh fruit and vegetables was regularly better than Woolies or Pak n Save at Westgate.

With you both. Love the aging process as part of normality, and the reads continue to be so good.

Keep going Tania. You've got this and it is worth it.

Don't forget frustration of it not working to then get the monthly arrival of the PC mag to find erratum - line 67 in the X Game code in the last issue should have read....

The reporter is too young to know that you could leave a School C or UE exam after 45 mins if you wanted too. And E= (as in stands for) Excellence and A= Achieved makes a lot more sense than A, B, C,D when the results have been scaled so though you got 75% you were given a D.

Is this the cause of at least some of the problems with people checking their registration on vote.nz? When I went to input my details, Safari autofilled my name into the suburb/town field – which has the word "name" in its name.

Did you leave the city and postcode out when you did it manually?
August 1, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Remove the city and postcode that auto filled when you put your address in. There's a huge issue with the site.

Husband works on the western edge of Christchurch, worked late tonight and drove towards home in the east around 7.03pm. Called me in a panic as his phone had JUST had the tsunami alert and we live at the beach. We wondered if it was a geolocated alert as he had not received it earlier in the day.

In a city where buses are $3 for a cross-town trip, that's ridiculous. The students in London, Singapore, Paris walk, cycle, bus and take the Tube/MRT/Metro. Getting a car park is not a right!

I get tired of hearing about how the past was better and education professionals looking back with rose-tined glasses, reminiscing about "better times", when things hadn't been "dumbed-down" and there...
