If you think you've been exposed to hepatitis C at any time, now is the time to have a test. It''s caught through blood to blood contact, like unsterilised medical equipment, dodgy tattoos or piercings, iv drug use, medical treatment in third world countries, or blood transfusions before 1992. Hepatitis C is a silent killer. 1 in a 100 Kiwis have it but most don''t know. You can have it for years with vague symptoms like tiredness or brain fog but it can progress to liver cancer. Now there is a simple 8 week cure free from your GP. Get tested, get treated, get cured.

Concrete umbrella standa

Alex from Westmere

Anyone interested in free concrete umbrella stands? Also useful for mounting flags or other upright poles. The diameters are about 350-450mm.

Scratched up and a little bit chipped but would look really good after a quick paint.

Can also drop off in the Auckland region

The festival will feature interactive work Sound of Peace, a soundscape woven from online messages of peace in many difference languages. Everyone is invited to record a message of peace online. The messages will be composed and replayed in surround sound.

All senses with come alive with the smells of delicious food, and taste sensations from the 12 on-site food trucks including the curiosity of illuminated gelato. A Corona bar will provide a relaxed place to meet up with friends before exploring the festival.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
