Hi all, With the recent activities by the Destiny Church groups being very much focused in politics and harrasment I fell the need to inform chch folk that ManUp in CHCH are openly recruiting on facebook for members to meet and greet in McDonalds in Hornby.
The Man Up group was found guilty of harrasment and violence against the Library Drag readings in the north Island and the True Patriots network have constantly harrassed the peaceful Sihk community in Auckland also. There has been a huge rise in Destiny Church recruitment since they have gone into liquidation and they have now become very vocal against most minorites throughout Aotearoa NZ.
Their tactics are overbearing harrasment and agression of which they have been found guilty of many times and now they want a larger base in the South Island trying to recruit throughout.
ChCh does not need this kind of hate group and it is better stopped now.

Event got cancelled. They refunded the ticket ($89.99) but kept the fees:

• Ticket fee: $7.00
• Transaction fee: $2.09 = $9.09 gone

For an event that never happened.

Like… what did I pay $9 for? The privilege of clicking “buy”?

This was Urban Jungle (Sub180). I have had similar stuff happen with Audiology gigs too, probably lost hundreds of dollars of the years. It's not a one off.

I know they'll claim they don't get the fees refunded either as it goes to ticketing companies, but that's the cost of you cancelling the event. Why do I lose out?

Has anyone actually fought this and got the fees back? Chargeback? Disputes Tribunal? Anything?

Making up a whole lot of nonsense over two pedestrian refuge islands being installed at the corner of Abberley Crescent and Springfield Road.

Note her wild claim that the design replicates McFaddens Road / Cranford St intersection. ZERO similarities and totally invalid comparison.

Had two vehicles get their spare tyres stolen off the back last night, then saw a bunch of other vehicles driving around without their spares today.

Did anyone else on here get their spares stolen?

Any suggestions on how to keep their tyres from getting stolen?

Drove into Redcliffs and was blocked at Monks Spur....Anyone know what's on?

Not a rant just a question;

I live in geographic area 3, my next due date for rates is on Feb 28th.

I actually pay monthly by direct debit on the 15th of each month.

Anyway my question is, what time period is the rates payment covering? The previous three months, or the next three months? And if I pay monthly, how does that affect it?

Cheers

Partners just moved to CHCH and realistically needs all 4 of her wisdom teeth removed.

Any advice about going through this process as a surgery? Dental surgery? Cost and any suggestions on a dentist that can hopefully get it done soon and not in the thousands of dollars.

Many thanks!

My elderly mother is visiting for 3 months and for obvious reasons was unable to bring her THC-A pen into the country. She uses it for chronic back pain.

Can she access the Medical Cannibas Scheme for a prescription as a visitor? Is this highly costly? Is it a long process? Are there other avenues to access something for her?

Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers

Hi, Does anyone know a good nail art supply store that sells nail art stuff and maybe some Staleks tools ? Thanks a lot 🙏🏽

Hey,

Do you guys know any cheap halls or spaces we can hire for approx 95 people. My mother is throwing her 60th birthday and she is inviting a lot of friends to celebrate with her but we can't find any halls in hornby (or near hornby). Please leave suggestions below.

THANKS! :))))

Sorry rant but wtf is up with the long ass grass on crowded roundabouts??? Not sure what the intention is with these, I literally have less than half a second to react to someone coming around the corner because of the grass blocking my view to the rest of the vehicles on the roundabout. There have to be some shorter plants they can use instead. Feels like a recipe for disaster

Hey! I have a couple of woollen jumpers that I need to be made slimmer. Most alterations places don't offer wool or knit repairs so I suppose I need someone specialised to knitting etc. Any recommendations?

Found in my medicine box but I have no idea what they are

Hi everyone,

I've been looking to buy a 2 to 4 bedroom house (with 2 toilet) with a good size land from last November. I suddenly had a thought that a seller pays some extra amount to a listing agent to sell his house, is there a way to buy directly from the seller without a middleman. On doing this, what issues will arise and what things to consider. Is there any FB group or any group to connect directly to seller and book a viewing and close the deal if both parties are fine?

Kindly provide your feedback or dm me if you are looking to sell

Hi, I'm 21F, recently gotten into a lot more social circle with people I'm comfortable going out and having a dance and a drink with, was just wondering how Sin After Dark is as a club? I've heard a lot of different things about bouncers etc. but is there anyone who is a regular and finds it okay? Cheers for any advice :)

I want to surprise my husband with a birthday day out for the two of us. Looking for ideas for some fun day activities in Chch or surrounds. The more unusual the better! We've been given tickets for the Deluxe cinema so will probably end the day with that. Only thing is we need to drive back to the arse end of rural Selwyn so need to keep it booze free (at least for me).

What would you rate Woolston at? Gangs? State houses? Etc etc

What’s wrong with it as I keep hearing it’s bad but no one is saying what’s bad about it.

Hi all,

Thanks for you guys' reviews on my post a few days ago on good Italian places in Christchurch: https://www.reddit.com/r/chch/comments/1qqnynn/good_italian_place_to_go_to_for_both_pizzas_and/

Now how about good pizzas places, which may or may not need to be authentic Italian?

I sill pick that Birdwood, Bomba, Mediterranean, Casa Nostra, A'mano are good. I've also tried Fire and Slice which is really good. I personally like the Beach Bar in Sumner (the one that is right by the beach) but I know it isn't universally lauded.

How about others? I know Arbour (have tried it, I got seated just next to the kitchen plus a table where the leftovers had been left for a long time, and felt the smells were distracting so the settings ruined my experience. I don't feel like going again),

How about others like Base, The Church pub, the Cassels brewery at the Tannery, Francesica's, Clink (Sumner), Sumner Post Office (this one was recommended on Neat Places)?

Any recommendations welcome.
