Come on now.

Far too serious on here recently.

All these proper questions, lack of trolls and no arguments - well, it's getting to me.

So - right now:

I am Wiz. I am in ChCh. I am drinking export gold and listening to alien music on Radio 1 online.

Who, and where, the bloody hell are ya, and what the bloody hell are YOU doin'?!

I'm Suzi, in Nottingham of all places and bloody well wishing I was in NZ!!!! I'm drooling over the thought of all that wine that needs sampling over there. Roll on next year when we WILL get there.

What on earth are you doing up at this unearthly NZ hour? I think you're mad. My bedtime is ASAP after 10pm - but then I have two little ones who run me ragged night and day.

Hi - Im Ian and live in Northcote, Auckland. I'm on nightshift at the moment at auckland airport in the International Apron tower (I tell planes where to park and how to get there)

I spend some of my afternoons listening to radio stations via t'inernet from back home too. BBC Radio manchester's saturday night show (which one can listen to anytime) "Manchester Music" hosted by Terry Christian always go down well - especiallty when I pipe it through the Hi-Fi. "Nice One" "Sorted"

That and the football keeps me going...........................

Yep you can. An old RAF friend I know is a DJ on there - Gareth Brooks. He was based in Cyprus with me a few years back. He started off on the forces radio network BFBS in his spare time and now he's back in Mancunia - jammy sod !!!

And theres also www.manchesterradioonline.com as well as BBC Radio manchester

What's NZ radio like? I will miss Radio 1 a bit but I can't see me being bothered to listen on line.

Ok purely because of the title i thought i would post this You Tube ad.

It is a parody of the Where the Bloody Hell are you ad. The people in the advert are the presenters from a tv show called Fair Go (a bit like Watchdog) but every year they also do a 'Best and Worst Ad' award. This is one they made themselves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxgQ27RDDWk

Actually, to be honest most of the references make more sense if you are actually in NZ, but i had to post it

Where the bloody hell are we?

We're in Aotea Block - probably going to viciously bid against some dear friends for a house we all might like tomorrow!

Have had very sound advice to NOT buy in Aotea from a Kiwi ...

Radio: don't listen to it

TV: Meh... Documentary channel or whatever interesting is on

Drinks: NZ wine or beer of course!

Miss: Only family in UK and 3 friends in USA like a hole in my heart. Miss them terribly...

Hello! I’m Nicola and we’re (hubby and 2 sons) heading out Tauranga way in January.

It’s cold and miserable outside so I’m cooking a roast dinner. May even open a bottle of wine....

We’re having a break from motocross this weekend (normally ride every weekend) so we’re having a veg-out day and sorting stuff out. I’m on a mission to throw loads of junk out - if I ever get off this computer.

Maz,
I`m Pat (Patricia) and I`m in North Yorkshire, it`s 4 degrees on a wet Sunday morning, I`m also going to cook a roast dinner, to keep warm and will have a glass of Marlborough S.B. I`ve only been to NZ once, in 2005, to visit my big son in Welly, loved the North Island and we hope to come back next year and see a lot more and stay longer.
Maz, have you been to Kenya? It`s the hakuna matata that makes me ask. We lived in Kenya for years and it is almost my first love, been to NZ now though! Let me know tafhadali ( please in Swahili )
Pat.

Um... actually no I've not! That's actually a quote from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby... sorry to disappoint.

New Zealand already has more than its fair share of racists. There is no need for any more. Stay the hell where you are.
