I'm the same. Prices are insane. I was in Nelson visiting my parents & my father has several vinyls I'd love to get my hands on from when he moved to NZ (Queen etc). I'm planting the inheritance seeds now.

That price doesn't seem too bad, considering a dealer in Oz has the same hypesticker version it for about #$NZ125 including shipping. I still have some pounds/euro on my wise card, a son living in London & a daughter going there on holiday next month!

We had a 12-hour layover in Hong Kong coming back. It was torrential rain the entire time we were there.

Yep, had the same problem tonight. Took turning the TV off, deleting and reinstalling the app and then resigning in to get it working. No a great experience.

That is a top tier list of games right there. Portal 2 is still a joy to play. Ah, good times, good times.

I think if you want rodents for dinner you're best to head to Countdown/Woolworths in Dunedin, I think. They had quite a few about the place a while ago.

In hindsight a good thing. We're going to get our travel agent to start the refund process with the original airline today. We'll lose a little bit of money as new fares were dearer but it is what it is.

Tasman Fuels near us had 91 for $3.02 a litre but got there, waited, only to find a tiny A4 sheet on the pumps saying "Sorry, out of 91". Next cheapest was $3.19 at Gull. Will be working from home a bit more, given wife won't let me bike to work as apparently Auckland traffic is too bad.
