THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Norway (English subtitles), 2021, Comedy, Rated M

Julie is estranged from her parents and battles her own indecisiveness on a daily basis. Working part time in a bookshop, her dream is to allow herself to manifest happiness in her relationships and forge a challenging and satisfying career path.

But to put several years of false starts behind her, Julie knows she will need to take an honest and realistic look at who she really is.

Is there a limit to the *&#$% of the Cone People?

Peter from Kamo

There are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through … View more
There are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through traffic.
I almost feel like asking for Wayne Brown to come up from Auckland and banish those in charge to lower Turkmenistan. The intellectual vacuity behind these 'safety measures' is unbelievable. I repeat: there was no work going on on Kamo Road, no workers were near Kamo road, except the two guys with stop-go lollipops.

Seriously, folks.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Abolition of Driving Test Fees

Chris from Maunu

Can someone more knowledgeable than I, kindly advise as to why this has even been considered? If say, a teen really wishes to learn to drive properly and safely and subsequently pass the Test, then why shouldn't they pay for it themselves?

If say, a teen really wishes to learn to drive properly and safely and subsequently pass the Test, then why shouldn't they pay for it themselves? I had to get an extra job as a teen, to pay for my driving lessons and test and why not? it was, after all for my benefit. Of course, it goes without saying, the 'lost revenue' will be passed onto us tax payers. Yet more spoon feeding?

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

For Thursday, the 27th April at 6pm we are screening the brilliant Korean film, Broker.

Our 8pm screening will be the UK documentary, Lancaster.

BROKER
Korea, (English subtitles), 2022, Rated M

From the director of Shoplifters and featuring one of the stars from Parasite, comes the top film from Cannes in 2022, Broker.

Ha Sang is the owner of a laundry and volunteers at the nearby church, where his friend Dong-soo works. They run an illegal business together: Sang-hyeon occasionally steals babies from the church's baby box (where children are left by poor families to be adopted) and Dong-soo deletes the church's surveillance footage that shows a baby was left there. They then sell the babies on the black market to rich couples who can’t have children of their own.

But when a young mother surprises the duo by returning to ensure her baby finds a good home, the three of them end up embarking on a journey together to find the right couple, building an unlikely family of their own along the way.

“One of the year’s most delightful films.” - BBC
