Hi everyone. A few weeks ago, I crashed my beloved Toyota Starlet and am looking for a similar replacement. Preferably has to be a small Toyota + a hatchback in reasonable condition. Can anyone help?
I have just found (12pm) another unwanted 'Letterbox Whangārei' phamplet in our mailbox which clearly reads - "NO JUNK MAIL". Its the 3rd one since I 1st put up a post on the 11 Dec 2023 on the Parua Bay/Whangārei Heads community page.

Its the 3rd one since I 1st put up a post on the 11 Dec 2023 on the Parua Bay/Whangārei Heads community page. It wasn't there at approx 10:30 am. Please to the person/persons who are delivering these phamplets to this address - cut it out. I'm not going to waste my time reading a phamplet from Democracy Northland & their nameless writers. They just go straight into my recycle bin.

TJ is struggling to hold onto his pub in England's Northeast where people are leaving town as all the mines have closed.
Local tensions flare when Syrian refugees are housed in the town, a situation not helped by the community arguing about the upcoming vote on Brexit.
But TJ welcomes the refugees as he tries to carve out a future for himself, the community and his pub.
'From Ken Loach, the director of "I, Daniel Blake" and "Sorry We Missed You" comes yet another powerful and deeply moving story.'

Russian translator, Mia spends her waking moments trying to piece together the events of the night she survived a terrorist attack in a Paris bistro three months earlier.
Her efforts see her regularly revisit the scene in an effort to make sense of her fractured memories and get to the truth.
In doing so, Mia finds other survivors trying to do the same, along with family members of people who were killed who are also trying to understand what happened. They offer support and comfort to each other as they attempt to uncover the truth.
But Mia's obsession with getting closure consumes her and begins to cause stress in her relationships and her marriage.
Brilliantly details the personal impact of a near-death experience and the resilience required to pick yourself up and sort through the debris.
