Doug finds family at Ryman

Murray Halberg Retirement Village

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Dental Implants

CMDental Ltd

A successful Dental Implant Placed by Dr Martin J Cribbin at CM Dental ltd in Henderson, replacing a lower left molar which had fractured and could not be root filled.
Where there is sufficient bone the dental implant can offer a better solution than bridge work as there is no damage to the teeth adjacent by cutting them down to create space for the bridgework.
