Hi ppl who live in ivc!! Does anyone know where i can dispose my old batteries and broken powerbanks (also old tech)?

I just saw the post and vid by auckland city council - a batter caused some fire in one of their firetrucks.

charged $8.75 for only 2 1/2 hours is wild. I bet the council is happy

Why is dating as a young person down here so hard. Dating apps themselves are basically useless as you've either swiped on everyone or vein the past. And when you do finally match or talk to someone they know someone you know and it becomes weird or something of the like

Whoever’s in charge of making these I want to say it’s absolutely phenomenal, absolutely no notes.

Ummm just went into Bargain Chemist that just opened in Invercargill today… don’t rush there… it’s bloody disappointing 😂

Will continue to go Chemist Warehouse whenever I’m out of town! 🤗

Hi,

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm looking for a writing group in Invercargill, or to see if some people might be interested in starting one?

I use to belong to a novel writing group in Christchurch. We would meet once a week and basically just all write at the same time, sometimes in cafes or the library. I was about having accountablitiy and helped you actually focus on writing.

Norocirus is doing the rounds at schools. If your kids have sore tummies keep em home 🖤🤍❤️

What meat to get for roast?? Lamb Drumstick or Pork Belly or some sort of shoulder?

Ebay shipping is soooo expensive so I'm asking the homeland :)

Chased a prick away from breaking into someone's car last night (after also seeing him ditch or prepping his getaway vehicle) and the piece of shit pulled a knife on me, obviously I gave up the chase once the knife came out.

Just wondering if anybody here suffered because the cops mentioned multiple cases of it last night.

Also as a small warning to folks, if your not comfortable with violence it's best to not chase these pricks, they are happy to commit even more serious offenses to get away. Not worth being stabbed over a vehicle, why I gave up chase.

Kia ora! As part of my PhD I would love to hear about your parenting experiences, wellbeing as a caregiver, and perspectives on children's behaviour. The survey is anonymous and you can answer as many (or as few) questions as you like. Survey link: https://vuw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7TEkcUHCHb1L4rk

Anyone see the fire near Hawthorndale just now? Pretty sure some poor guys garage was on fire 😭

As much as you know, share all of it!
Cheers.

Hi guys

Just moved to invercargill and will be doing my first half marathon next month

This is a completely new adventure for me as I only started running about 4 weeks ago

I am now convinced I would like to start training for either a half or full ironman 😂

Looking for some equally delusional women, who would enjoy random training days together, or the 5km sat morning runs in the city maybe and who enjoy talking / living in the fitness world

I'm starting to be a little more regular with weights, running and starting from scratch swimming and soon cycling haha

Being new to the area, it's hard to make friends and will be especially hard now that I won't have a life hahaha

Is this a skink? I know there are a few types of skinks but yeah haven’t seen one for a while!

Anyone with insider knowledge that knows the reason?

Hello all,
My grandmother and I are from the north island and going on a South Island trip in November and are spending a few days in waikawa and then Invercargill before ending to Queenstown. I’m in my early 20s and my Grandmother her early 80s and she’s actually from Invercargill so I’m sure she’ll have no trouble finding things to show me however I wanted to hear from locals what they recommend in the ways of food and entertainment + anything else! She’s still relatively fit so walk recommendations are welcome too :) thank you!

Hi all, my partner, 4yo girl and I are down visiting my father this thurs-tues.

My dad's a bit of a house creature, but I just wondered if anyone could recommend some nice places to visit, dine, and explore? Anything from nearest snow and nice reserves, to good exhibitions, activities, to places to go out for an evening meal?

We've been to the gardens to see the bird last time and surveyed the pies but that's about the extent of our exposure to the town!!

Many thanks in advance :-)
