Any chance you could share my post below? I’m struggling to stitch because my hands are in pain so I’ll never get my cross stitch finished in time to sell before Christmas, which I’ve been relying on these past few years to get us through. Any help is amazing. 💗🫶🏼 #AoNZ #Kikorangi #nzpol

FABRIC WANTED: As many of you know, my family runs a small charity passing on second-hand sewing machines to former refugees. We also make up starter packs of fabric, scissors, pins, etc, so the new owner can sew straight away. Do you have anything to pass on? www.redcross.org.nz/about-us/new...

Five hundred + donated sewing machines whirring in new Kiwi homes

In five years Esmee Rowden and her family have sourced, serviced and sent 524 donated sewing machines to former refugees settling across New Zealand.

Act in Tauranga today. Seymour said to a kid "shouldn't you be at school" she said no it's a holiday. He's clearly unaware of school holidays.

Amused by Guyon Espiner interviewing Don Brash. I recently listened again to Kim Hill interviewing Don about Guyon's use of Te Reo. In any case why RNZ are dusting off Don to talk to is beyond me.

NACT1st has deliberately allowed our healthcare sector to become understaffed. . #NZpol #Listener #cartoon

Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."

Cartoon depicts a scene in a crowded hospital where a nurse is pushing a very sick patient. Both appear ill.

Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."
Nurse: "SAME."

Refers to a RNZ report : "Some nurses working in the emergency department at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital say they have been asked to come to work despite calling in sick.
They say they have repeatedly raised concerns with management about the pressure on staff over the past two months, but little has changed."

Taxi driver to me: "school holidays and very quiet on the road... I'll have you home in plenty of time for you to cook dinner". I mean, I usually do but how very presumptuous 😂 in his world though the Indian women do the cooking.

The "Average guitarist knows between 15 and 30 chords" factoid is actually just statistical error. Ths average guitarist knows three chords. Guitar Georg, who knows all the chords, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

If we're talking about the spring forward events of 2026, 2025 and 2024 you might call them "daylight savings" But if you just mean today, sorry to shout but IT'S JUST FRICKEN DAYLIGHT SAVING

THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE!! With daylight savings kicking in overnight there is no 2am. So if you're planning on setting your alarm to watch the Black Ferns play the Red Roses live, here's your alarm schedule.

A list of alarms set.

1.30am will let you watch the build up.
1.50am and you’ll catch the haka.
3.00am and you’ll get the kick off
