A death in the family.

Bruce from Napier South

My much loved Nokia cell phone had it's life terminated by the callous monsters in the cell phone industry when they shut down the 2G network. To be fair 2degrees sent me a new basic Alcatel phone loaded with features that  I will never use for free. I took the  new device along with the near obsolete Nokia to the 2degrees shop in Emerson street and the nice people there set it up with the same number. A surprisingly pleasant and amicable solution for a customer for who a $20 pre-paid credit lasts about three months.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
