Miserable people

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

It’s really sad that some people need to make life difficult for others, for no other reason than they can.

I keep putting notices up, for my garage sale, on the community notice board, at New World, and someone keeps taking them.

It’s really sad that some people need to make life difficult for others, for no other reason than they can.

I keep putting notices up, for my garage sale, on the community notice board, at New World, and someone keeps taking them.
Logic suggests, given its happens 5 times in the last 2 weeks, someone doesn’t like me. I can live with that. But I’m not the only one this affects.
I have friends who are trying to sell their things here, because their place is not suited to doing it. They have no parking and no access. And this is entirely on my property.

So whoever you are (I’m pretty sure I can guess), pull your head in and stop being so anti neighbourly. If you don’t like me, deal with me, directly, or suck it up and move on.

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.
