Don’t worry, not everything is opera! Featuring melodies such as Tauber’s You are my Hearts Delight and Pedro the Fisherman, and Mario Lanza’s I’ll Walk with God.
As well as our Three Tenors we have Amanda Atlas, star of Opera Australia and New Zealand Opera, Susan Boland and David Kelly, principal accompanist and répétiteur with New Zealand Opera.

I bought this item many years ago, and have had many happy hours using it, but it can only be used on a computer which has a processor number 95/98/2000/NT. It is called PRINT ARTIST, and this version is number 8. I am now using version 23, so you will see how this product has grown over the years. It's brilliant to use, and I have made lots of wonderful items with this product. My reason for putting it on Neighbourly is that, if anyone did have an old computer on which it could be used, I am more than happy to pass this product to that person, as it seems such a shame to throw away something so worthwhile. I have added a picture of the top of the box.

Countdown is removing them from all stores and replacing them with a range of alternatives including bamboo, metal and paper straws.
The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.
Do you think other NZ supermarkets should follow suit?

A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has ended.
The CGA says that products have to be of an acceptable quality which means they must be fit for purpose (or do what they're made to do), last for a reasonable amount of time, be safe, and be free from any minor defects. What is “acceptable quality” is based on what you could reasonably expect taking into account things like the nature of the goods, what you paid for them, and any particular statements made about the goods.
If you have a problem with something you’ve bought and the warranty period has ended, you might still be entitled to have it repaired or replaced. Check out our information on your rights as a consumer or phone CAB on 0800 367 222.
