Doug finds family at Ryman

Julia Wallace 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.

PNCC Red Rubbish Bags

Timothy from Highbury - Westbrook

These are still at Mitre10 at the price of $14.20 for 5 bags as of 2nd July. They have not gone up in price to the new PNCC maximum price of $19.00 as was going to happen on the 1st of July (to my knowledge), whether they are the new price at other outlets I do not know?
