Poll: Should Glanmire Rd's notorius blind corner be altered?
Let's face it folks, that corner's dangerous. It's blind, and the number of cars parked on the outside curve means uphill traffic often crosses into the path of downhill traffic to get around.
It's so bad that the recent new seal has been torn up badly right where downhill traffic would hit the brakes.
It's perfectly legal to park there, but should a section be kept free for traffic? Does Wellington City Council need to look at it?
(Thank you the silver blur that didn't even bother to brake when they met our blue truck coming the other way (northwest) on that curve between Link Rd and Robert St. I'm sure the neighbours heard the screech of our tires perhaps 10.15am sun 26/01.)
-
95% Yes, broken yellow the outside curve
-
0% No, those 3 parks are needed
-
5% Not worried
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
