Doug finds family at Ryman
Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!
It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

Moving clear out !
Hello community. I'm moving house and have a lot of stuff to clear out. The move has cost a lot so unfortunately can't give away free right now. I usually do donations to shops.
But these things are all excellent condition, some not even used, and good quality brands.
Women's Clothes size small or xs .
Girls clothes sizes 5-7
boys clothes infant and 1.
But I need them gone fast so if you want a good deal for nice clothing from good shops like seed , Zara and so on, also there's lots of kids toys and activities.
please drop a comment in this thread if you're interested and I'll dm you and you can come view.
In Birkenhead
Thank you 😊
