    Move to New Zealand?

    I moved to New Zealand from Dundee last June so I have a year under my belt and have done a lot in that time - travelling to a lot of places in the north and south island. I moved with my work - basically switching offices (we have one in Dundee and one in Auckland - Kumeu to be precise) so...

    How much house can you get?

    You can buy land on which to build a house for $500k, but not an actual house where I live (Auckland City suburbs) For reference, the house I'm currently renting for $680 a week (£1450pcm) was sold recently for $1.4m (£688k)

    The OcUK Relationship Counselling and Hugs Thread

    I'm in a similar boat to @GiraffePencils, but I'm dealing with rejection right now. I ended a 10 year relationship last year. It was really hard, basically because nothing was wrong on paper.. it just came to an end. As a clean break for myself I made the decision to emmigrate to New Zealand...

    Not receiving the appropriate level of treatment?

    I've been living with Hip pain for the past 5 years. In July 2017 I had an MRI that didn't show much and it took a further 14 months from that scan to have a simple cortisone injection done (I think the NHS is supposed to carry out all procedures within 12 weeks of referral?). That didn't work...

    News on Wife (reason for being away for a day)

    @Calranthe I just read this thread and wanted to offer my condolences. I was surprised to see the Ninja Kiwi beanie - I'm a programmer at NK so from one fan to another, I'm sorry for your loss.

    Planning a California Road Trip

    Honestly if you're looking at Monterey for the sea life centre I wouldn't bother.. It's not that great and there's nothing else to do in town (there's whale watching trips but they're very hit and miss and probably no fun with a 10 month old as the sea can be choppy). Cut up from Santa Barbara...

    Help with thru axle!

    Well I ended up getting it loose through a combination of lube, a hair dryer and a few persuasive knocks with a hammer. It shifted about a mm and I pulled it the rest of the way by hand. Not happy though. I bought the bike online due to its vastly reduced price over local places and they first...

    Nexus 5 2015 refresh

    I bought my phone from the Google store on the 29th of September 2015 and encountered the boot loop issue a couple of days ago. Having 2 weeks left in my warranty I didn't want to faff about trying to fix the issue myself (also, couldn't get into recovery mode) so contacted Google support and...

    Help with thru axle!

    Hey guys, just bought my first road bike, coming from the mountain biking world. Anyway, got my new bike home and started setting it up, tried to remove the rear wheel to remove the dork ring and I can't do it! The thru axle is stuck fast. I'm a little worried as it's a carbon frame and it's...

    New Bike for London - Paris

    I've put in an order for a 2017 Giant Defy Advanced 1 @ £1399. Might be worth a look if you can find it at that price? (Got mine in a limited time sale)

    Could humans ever live harmoniously

    No. Our oldest trait - stretching back billions of years is selfishness - everything we do revolves around this inherent 'flaw' that continues to keep our genes alive. To create a world where everyone got along, we'd need to inhibit that. The only way to actually achieve that would be to create...
