Hello. Where can I buy raw milk or dairy products in Christchurch? I found only one source when I Googled and it’s Fernside Fresh Milk in Rangiora. Is there any seller in Christchurch? Thanks in advance 😊

did i get scammed:(

i don’t wanna assume the worst but idk, at the end of the day it was only 25 bucks so if someone is scamming for that they obvs need it more than i do, but i had someone at the bus exchange ask for some money bc they had no gas in their car which obviously i immediately was like “that’s a scam” expecting them to ask something insane like 70 but they only asked for 20+5 to top up their bus card so they could get home and come back for their car in the morning

again i thought even if it is a scam, you have to be desperate to scam for that little, so i got the money out, they were really anxious about taking the bus so we went in the same one cuz we were going the same way. i gave a fake name, didn’t give my number, changed my pin on my card in case they saw, and im staying at my friends house tonight so they wouldn’t know where i live.

i want to believe they were telling the truth bc it was such a little amount, plus they showed me their community service card so i could see their name, and they gave me their number (which i know could be fake) and some of their stories just conflicted, like they said their daughter would pick up bc their phone was at home, but they said their kids don’t live with them, they said their mum had passed but talked like she hadn’t (which i understand could be grief) and once i got off the bus they looked kinda alright.

i hope it wasn’t a scam, at the end of the day it was only 25 so im not gonna lose sleep over it, i just want others opinions.

Lincoln feels abandoned at night and it makes for a peaceful place to take an evening walk. Super peaceful. If you live in Lincoln, I highly recommend evenings walks.

Furniture removal?

Is there any business or person etc that does furniture removal? I have an old bed base and a couch that needs to be dumped. I don’t have anyone nearby that could help me, so I need to hire someone to come and do it. Any recommendations would be great.

Train vs Drive - Chch to Greymouth

Hi everyone,

We’ll be visiting later this year, and then heading over to Greymouth for some cycling.

My question is whether the TranzAlpine train to Greymouth is worth the $500? The economy fares have sold out so it’s just the $500 fare available. Is the train that awesome??

The other option is we hire a car which will be way more economical. Is this a better option? Is there anything worthwhile seeing along the way? Or recommended places to stop to eat for lunch etc?

Thanks!!

Spare Anytime Fitness Pass 4 2nite

Hey there

Does anyone have a spare anytime fitness pass I could use for tonight. I am off to help my mate do some packing out of town and live way out of the city. I want to meet my friends for a beer and thought it would be faster to wash and get changed in the gym rather than go home and come back.

Please hold off on the smart comments.

DM me.

Held me identify this aircraft

So yesterday at around 9pm sometime me and some mates were driving down pound road near the chch airport when we saw a what looked like ginormous aircraft coming into land with bright white lights shining at us. We pulled over to watch it land in front of us but to our amazement it was absolutely completely silent, made no sound at all. It was pitch black so it was hard to see but it was only about 150m infront of us and it looked like it was all wing with no body or fuselage at all. Like as if the aircraft was literally just wing with a bright light on each wing. That aircraft landed and then taxid over towards the airport. But then There was also another aircraft that came in about 5min later, it was hovering around the airport like a massive drone and then took off. I thought this was strange because surely you can't fly a drone over the chch airport but it was so dark it was impossible to tell what it was exactly.

Where’s the nightlife?

Visiting from Sydney and slightly confused.. there seems to be a lot of infrastructure for nightlife. Bars, club, restaurants, etc…. But it’s so quiet on a Friday night.

We went to new Regent st. Then central city. Now at Victoria st.

And it just feels way too quiet for the amount of venues around.

Help?

Most haunted places in Christchurch?

Hey!

We are Raven and the Dark Shadows, a rock band out of Miami Beach, Florida.

We are touring NZ, Oz, and Europe in July for a small tour that culminates in the first musical performance at the Catacombs since 1897 as part of the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremonies.

Our bands studio album, An Unkindness, features members of Pearl Jam, New Found Glory, and Agent Fresco. Last year, we played Stephen Kings 75th birthday celebration. Next year, our upcoming single, “Feel Like a Fugitive”, will be on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Leading up to our historic performance, we are looking to have concerts in unique, out of the box spaces. Something like a barn, former church, dungeon, castle, ruin, field, or classic dive bar would work wonderfully. We will be filming both music video and documentary footage in these places.

Since Reddit has always been a great forum for us to find places we are wondering if you guys had any suggested small venues that could work for a small performance. We also were wondering if anyone here would like to help out and be extras in the film (we have extra masks). If interested in being an extra, please send a PM.

For those of you not aware of our music, check us on Spotify (we are on Apple and YouTube as well)
