Was literally in the middle of my science exam when the alarm went off. Ffs half the school thought it was a drill and stayed seated. Good times.

Hope everyone's okay. Dominion Road always got that dodgy gas smell in the mornings eh.

Ah yes, classic morning chaos thanks to our ageing infrastructure. National should sort this out instead of tweeting about the Warriors.

Why does this always happen on a Thursday? Two hours of traffic for nothing.

More like a school evacuated cos Johnny left his lunch in the microwave too long. Been there.

Blake Turner2026-07-02T01:26:02.000Z

Used to live on Dominion Rd, this was a monthly thing. Landlord never fixed the pipes.
