Free lounge suite for upcycling
FREE - must pick up (easy access, Brown Owl area)
3 piece lounge suite, antique style/shape. Definitely needs reupholstering but framework, cushions and shape all sturdy. The two armchairs have been on our covered porch for a year, and look it. The couch has been inside and covered with a blanket. Actually very comfortable, and perfect for someone into upcycling. Will go to the tip tomorrow if no takers, but they’re so unique we had to check if someone wanted them first! Pick up only, no holds.

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM
Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.
In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.
What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.
Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
