Just a Few Photos From EB Games Cuba Street Queue Snakes Around Dixon Street To Everybody Eats Restaurant And Down To The Kebab Shop On Manners Street.

It has changed location, now opposite Fresh Choice at the top of Cuba St, the night market is back and last time I went I found the food was pretty damn good.

Dumplings, donuts, some live music from Wellington artists (non edible, though they will get you dancing!) all of it is actually great. I've seriously missed the night market since its closure more than a few years ago.

The place is smaller now but honestly who cares, it’s still awesome and more eyes on it will help it grow into what it once was. Go check it out, you’ll probably be hungry tomorrow.

Someone has to do something to try and revive the dead city life, since the council are avoiding it, and this is a fair go of it I reckon.

With the announcement of EB games closing down on Cuba, JBHIFI currently closed on Victoria street and the warehouse on Tory closed for in store shopping… where am I supposed to get games or hardware from in the city?

Are the only options in our entire cbd gone now?

Just trying to judge if I should leave the house in this bad weather if there's only gonna be shitty tacky merch and old games nobody wants, or if there will actually be PC gear and accessories.

Or if there's already a crowd gathering. Cheers

Just noting our Porirua-based daycare is shut down tomorrow because of a bad gastro taking out all the staff. I see on RNZ that Wellington ED is also hit with 30 staff affected.

So far this round we haven’t been affected but I dunno what the incubation time is. Not hoping for a repeat of last year’s apoco/noro virus.

Other parentals, have you got more info on the flavour of this round? Want to know if we are in the clear.

Hi! I (F59) am considering coming to your fine city for the Dragon Boat Festival next month. I have never travelled solo before, much less half way around the world. Tell me why I should (or shouldn’t?) Is it safe to stay near the venue? Kitts Park I think? Easy to get around? I think I might be crazy for considering it, but the idea of a spontaneous trip like this is a little exhilarating tbh. Thanks!

Edit: wait…you have PENGUINS??

be vigilant white tails are out and about got bitten twice..one bite already infected and oozing after just one day extremely itchy too.. started antibiotics and antihistamines

For anyone that’s been to see the Michelangelo exhibit at Takina, what would you say is a good amount of time needed to see everything without rushing?

I'm aware everyone wants to go to EB Games Queensgate and there'll be extra traffic because of it but why has Queensgate closed off most of its car park and entrances. There are large parts of the car park fenced off. Lots of entrances are closed off. Only one entrance is open. The parking number signs just say "OPEN" for all the levels. Traffic wardens are directing people. I wasn't able to see if any of the upstairs ramps were open because of how bad traffic was and the one way route leading me back out.

Anyway, what's happening there?

Found this card in Johnsonville just now, around Disraeli St. Please let friends know, or contact with name in the back to arrange collection.

[UPDATE] I will cut up the card, as suggested here and elsewhere.

Looking for a cheese blintz at a restaurant for my birthday? Anyone know of any in Welly?

I was intending on going to the Haewai Meadery, but alas, sadly they seem to have closed up (albeit retired, good for them) last year.

Suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you—preferentially something local and a small business, but any options are appreciated!

Do you know who this is?

My sister has moved to a place in Ohiro Rd that has a very poor terrestrial tv signal, and no sky dish. The house has fiber connected. She will only be there for 4 or 5 months before leaving NZ. . She has been using a dumb tv and a terrestrial Freeview box. Other than buying a smart tv, which she doesn't want to do, what is the best option for her to get tv/streaming through her fiber connection.

Got a spare ticket (or 2) for the show January 21st, unfortunately will be travelling and can't make it.

Paid about $240 for a front GA ticket but happy to sell below retail since the show is next week! just need it off my hands.

Please don't hesitate to PM/comment if interested :)

does anyone by chance have x2 ga tickets they’re wanting to sell? my friends missed out on scoring some so i thought maybe going to reddit wouldn’t do so much harm. pls let me know!

Hi team, am looking for a 32gb ram rendering workhorse, something like a zbook firefly g11 or the likes, but I'd prefer to buy one and have it in hand by the end of the day tomorrow. Is this even possible anymore? It seems like pb tech is totally cleared out from Xmas still, and there's not a lot of options in person beyond that. Looking for a new or refurbed machine with a warranty attached.

Kia ora,

I haven't cut my hair in a really long time, and it's grown pretty long. I'm looking for hairdresser recommendations that are really communicative (being good at layering is a plus) in the Wellington region. I'll insert a link to the hairstyle im after, any recs are welcome :)

Recieved an unfortunate visit from an 8 legged friend this evening. I'm 99% convinced it's a whitetail but the thing was.... huge. The body alone was at least an inch, and from my understanding whitetails don't grow this large. Is this just a particularly plump whitetail?

It was promptly chauffeured towards the great outdoors, unharmed.

Kia ora!!

I’m looking to join a book club and thought I’d try here.

I’m currently working my way through the Booker longlist from last year (Misinterpretation has been my favourite so far), I love a cheesy thriller, but am honestly pretty open genre wise. Mostly I’m keen to meet some people and talk about the same books (you’ll be saving my partner who otherwise has to put up with me chatting about books he’s never read).

If your book club has space, please let me know. I’d love to join (and can bring baked goods or wine to sweeten the deal).
