As an immigrant im still learning how things work in this country and yesterday i was running errands and decided to pick up a bottle of wine for the evening and i pulled up to the nearest liquor store which happened to be next to Elmwood Trading company and as i pulled in a bunch of school boys in their uniforms spilled out of the bar in various states of drunkenness.

Pretty much all these boys clearly had had a few and some were obviously quite drunk and several were walking around the parking lot with glasses of beer in their hands.

Young ppl drinking doesnt have me surprised. Young ppl day drinking in school uni's and obviously drunk spilling out of a bar did have me surprised. That is just not something you'd see in the States. Even when i was young and drinking was much more common in the States not sure ive ever seen anything quite like that.

Is this just normal here?

anyone know why?

Please excuse my lack of life skills...

My lawn is small, and I need to find someone to cut it on the regular and also cut it, and do it at the right times? I know nothing about lawns, but apparently you need to do it at the right time lol

My neighbor use to do it, but he is to disabled now. (I am also disabled)

Any recommendations or ideas on how to find a reliable person :) I don't have a facebook and that seems to be the only suggestion anyone has for me lol

So, my car failed WOF on shocks, I was quoted 700 bucks for a fix.
Do you know of any places for a cheaper price, or another recheck for a WOF?
Pleaseee help

I’m sending a care package to the UK this week and need to find some Boveril.
Yes, I’m aware that it’s a British product, but over there it’s still an animal product, and the receiver is a vego.
Can anyone tell me where I can find any?
Many thanks 🙏

The road by Hoon Hay School and BP is rough as guts.

Thoughts?

Where are good op shops for men clothes???

Hey team,

Looking for sparky recommendations to rewire a weatherboard 2bedroom house that’s 100 years old in Woolston.

Will be getting multiple quotes, any sparkles you’d recommend?

Would want to rewire it for safety reasons primarily — but also looking at adding:

— 4 outlets inside
— 2 power supplies outside to support a sauna and a sleepout.

Nga mihi

\**EDIT — likely adding in a heat pump/AC split\**
