I've noticed a few unmarked police vehicles, like vans, SUVs, and utes, around Christchurch. Are there any telltale signs for spotting unmarked police cars?

I need to change the ignition coil for my car

Did anyone has one for sale in Christchurch for a Suzuki carry 2000? Or know where I can buy it? Could be second hand. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m a second-year Bachelor of Commerce student at the University of Canterbury, majoring in Chartered Accounting. Now that I’ve completed my second year, I’m really keen to gain some practical experience—whether through internships, work experience, or even part-time roles in accounting.

I’d love any advice on:

• How to find or approach companies in Christchurch for internships or work experience
• Key things to focus on in my CV or LinkedIn profile to stand out
• Networking tips or any local events that might be useful for accounting students
• Any personal experiences with landing work or internships in accounting during uni

P.S. Here’s my LinkedIn if anyone would like to connect directly. Thanks again!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tattoo artist that has a good reputation for cover up tattoos? I have an embarrassingly awful tattoo on my upper thigh about the size of my hand that iv been wanting to cover for years. It was done in some guys garage when I was 16 to give you an indication of how bad it is!! Finally in a position financially to be able to do it. I suspect it will need some kind of laser treatment first. Thanks!

East side of north Hagley.

There's been three now in the last ten minutes or so

Anyone know what those big boom sounds were in town just now? About 4 of them a minute or two apart. Followed by the sound of a lot of sirens..

A great turnout by cyclists/walkers showing their disapproval at the proposed closure on Thursday.

Hopefully commonsense will prevail - eventually ! The cycleway does not cross the railway - and there are bells and lights on Scruttons Road where some cyclist may cross to join the cycle path.

Get the T-shirt slogan though ! Safety tip 101 - if you see a train, don’t cross.

Hi all,

My lovely girlfriend is back home today from working overseas. Cinnamon scrolls are her favourite thing. Where's your go to in chch? I want one on hand for tonight when I greet her! 😊

Does anyone know what usually happens to birds who are dropped off at the free wildlife hospital?

Anyone got the inside story on what’s happening with this camping ground out at Glentunnel? Owned by Selwyn District Council, the leaseholder was booted off in July 2024 and the camping ground has been closed ever since. Will it ever reopen? I’m really hoping it’s not gone forever…..

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently looking for a builder to replace my old fence with a new one. Does anyone have recommendations for reliable builders or companies that offer quality work at a good price?

Thank you in advance

Hi Chch, I'm a 30yr old fella just wondering if there's any like minded individuals or circles to make new friends with. I've always been fairly reserved and had a select few friends mostly made through hobbies, I barely ever see them due to the fact the social activities were usually centred around the sports (skateboarding, mountain biking)

I'm from overseas so don't have the background of friends from high-school etc.

I'm fairly introverted in a sense where I do enjoy just being at home, but I'm pretty chatty when I share similar interests with others.

I have a couple good mates here that I can always talk to or rely on. But usually it revolves around a catchup with that sport other than messenger. And my interests have shifted. As I've got older I prefer having a select few mates but I'm open to meet new people.

Currently pretty hooked on resistance training in the gym going on a couple years now with a PT cert to be studied early next year just for the fun of it.

Currently enjoy reading, reading a book on Narcissism atm, I'm into my manga and anime also, I was trying to learn how to draw but that priority dropped. Could be interested in a weekend drawing club or something maybe. So im a fairly nerdyish, creative but also dabble in some weight training

Anyone know of any clubs, meet ups etc?

I went to garden city dental for a check up and was told I need over $1500 to get a couple of fillings etc. I simply cannot afford that. Does anyone know of a dentist that takes community services card?

Woken up at 2am by the cops saying they have found and arrested 2 guys who broke into my car and took it on a joyride. So ya guess I’m biking or something to work for the next week.

Hey yall, have 1 x seated Hozier ticket available for 22nd Nov concert if anyone is keen? $115

Does anyone know what’s the go with anarchial soul / Rob Read? He’s been involved in the outer circle of the chch mental health sphere for years but is consistently involved in turmoil and seemingly problematic behaviours. Throws names about like Mike King and Jazz Thornton.

Anybody know a good nail salon with fair pricing and colour section . I’d prefer to support an independent artist but if you know a good salon i’d love to hear about that as well. Thank you so much :)

Hi all

I am wondering if anybody has any experience with neurofit.co.nz? They look to be providing coaching programmes that help “clear the mental mess”, but say that it’s not group therapy.

I have a family member that is struggling mentally with a lot of the things (anxiety, self doubt, brain fog, etc) that they claim their programme addresses. The doctor, therapists, and other remedies don’t seem to be working (meditation helps a little) and we are getting a little desperate. It’s not cheap and obviously I don’t want to throw my money away but at this point I’m willing to give it a shot.

Has anybody tried it? Legit? Any insights are deeply appreciated.

Thank you!

Sup guys, how we doing?
Just checking if anybody here would like some extra help around their properties or help with any other jobs.
I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off from my main job, and I would like to do some extra work on the side.

I can do Gardening, Cleaning, Lifting heavy stuff, driving and many other jobs.
I am 27 yo, hard worker and NZ resident.
So if you need anybody to work, just flick me a msg.
*Can provide references as well.

Thanks for your time, cheers!
(Hope this type of post is allowed)

Driving around today I saw countless copies of the Yellow Pages blowing down the road. I honestly cannot believe that they're still produced, business still pay to advertise in them, and that you have to opt out, not in to receiving it.

You can opt out from future editions here.

I have recently quit SSRI meds and am wanting a more natural remedy for my depression, have people got CBD (cannabidiol) for this use or pain management and what's the cost and anything else, thanks

You might wanna back up a bit Greg White 🥴

I’m new here in chch and I heard from workmate that this pizza is delicious.. what’s the best flavour for you?

I need to get my teeth professionally cleaned. Does anyone know roughly how much it costs and anywhere recommendations where to go? Thanks

Hi

I am a year 13 in wellington and hoping to go to UC next year and study engineering. I didn't get an offer for first year halls of residence, and i'm currently on the general waitlist but chances are looking abit slim. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on finding flatmates (in particular looking to flat with other first year students). Im on the UCSA facebook but most of the posts are for second year and above.

Thanks :)

Does anyone know of restaurants with a bush setting around chch? I remember a good one out tai tapu way but can't seem to find it.

So the event ends at 4.30 on Saturday, will the rides still go on till late night like at other events?
