Through our research, we've determined that how a couple views their relationship's history, what we call "The Story of Us," is a big factor in how successful and happy they might be going forward.

When discussing The Story of Us, we found that couples either “glorify the struggle” by being proud of the good times in their relationship and by making light of the bad, or they focus on their disagreements and look back on them with resentment.

In fact, when couples view their relationship's history in a negative light, it is one of our largest predictors of divorce.

So, are you proud of your marriage?

If you and your partner are able to glorify the struggle, then you're more likely to highlight the good times and have a happy relationship going forward.

Welcome to the Murder House, a deliciously dark comedy with bite sees a gang of death-row convicts set free from Auburn Prison for one wild night to tell the tragic tale of their hero, the man who invented the electric chair.

Based on a true story, the play speaks of a divided world where faith is more powerful than fact and shame drives a hard bargain. The fictional injection of real Indian scientist Chandra Bose, whose world-leading research into electricity was ahead of its time, gives an Indian Ink twist to the telling. Welcome to the Murder House features comedy, puppetry, live music, song and dance to entertain and delight whilst recounting a powerful, tragic and moving tale.

Jacob Rajan returns to the stage with a stellar cast, in Indian Ink’s biggest ever extravaganza. Experience a night of naughty fun that will leave you to decide who the real villains are.

26 May – 10 June

Horrible Cruel Slow Death Of Our Pet Rabbits

Andrew & Wendy from Kelson

The three other rabbits she cares for at upper hutt animal rescue have also died from this despite having no potential contact with wild rabbits and her other pet rabbit is very sick and will probably die later today as well. These rabbits were both recently vaccinated at the cost of $140.00. What sort of idiots approve the intentional release of a foreign virus into their ecosystem?? There are thousands of unemployed new zealanders that could be given jobs controlling pest animals in a humane way. All of this is supposedly 'tested' but viruses mutate and adapt and quickly...everybody knows that so how 'safe' is it really ? Rabbits will eventually breed resistance to this new strain, just like they have to the older strain, and the problem will return. I'm sure the pricks in suits around boardroom tables looking at figures of profit their corporations will gain from extra production of milk solids etc who have pushed this wont feel any pain. Just another reason to hate the government. Do your own research but if you or your family have pet rabbits maybe consider keeping them inside in a controlled environment and get them vaccinated although the vaccine might kill them anyway. It also takes some time before the rabbits are protected. RIP Ghost, our furry friend. 1 1/2 years old and full of beans until he was murdered for profit:(
