I got 35/35 - what a cool performance I think you'll agree and I join Ian and Paula in Christchurch amongst the hallowed ranks of the perfect score.
Ahem! Me & Mr Akaubear also got 35/35 (as mentioned in the same thread as Paula & Ian's perfect scores....) :p :D

So pressure is on you other NZers to join the ranks!

Nicola :)

Congrats Don on your perfect score.
Glad to see things are going well for you, Mrs Don and the little Dons. We have just waved off 5 house guests that stayed for 4 weeks over xmas. Its great to see people but its also nice to get our house back!

Paula

Don Jan 13th 2004 9:25 am

Hiya Paula.

House guests - the human equivalent of benign parasites or is it symbiosis in action?!! Love'em, really, but 4 weeks sounds a bit long!

We've got loads coming over to our place in the sun (back in Europe) this Euro summer, so I am already preparing myself mentally.

Anyway, so we are the Perfect Score Famous 5 - Paula + Ian (Watt Dabney), Nicola + Mr Akaubear, Don. (Mrs Don is too scared to take the test right now, sad to report.)

Any more straight As out there?

Don

Well done.

Was there a question on whether sitting in the back boot of a Toyota 4x4 is allowed? ;)

Anyway, why do you need a licence, you spend all your time driving on the beach.

Cheers,

Southerner


ps Mrs S is still on for that Cadburys tour if Mrs P is keen.

OK, we're only talking about my NZ driving licence. But hey! - let's celebrate success.

I got 35/35 - what a cool performance I think you'll agree and I join Ian and Paula in Christchurch amongst the hallowed ranks of the perfect score. My test took about 2 minutes to complete - I was slowed down by the need to scratch off the answer each time.

Seriously, anyone who bothers to read the NZ road code will pass the theory test and you only need to get 32/35 anyway. So don't worry, any prospective testees - just read the code and she'll be right.

Why do you think the driving standards are so crap! The accident rates say it all really.

Hiya, the Big S. Glad you're back!

Anyone doubting why Southerner is Southerner, have a look at his song:

Southern Man Song

Some of the boys
got it into their heads
'Bout movin' up north
To Follow the bread
That aint for me
That kind of thing just don't rate
This is one southern boy
Who ain't crossin' the strait

Now I might not be rich
But I like things' down here
We got the best looking girls
And the best damn deer
So you can keep your Queen City
With your cocktails and cool
Give me a beer in a seven
With the boys shooting pool

Chorus
I'm a southern man
Well I'm southern bred
I got the south in my blood
And I'll be here 'till I'm damn well dead

'Cos here we just know
What makes a southern boy tick
And it ain't Margaritas
With some fruit on a stick
Well it might not be fancy
But when you come from down here
You know you got the best girl
And you got the best beer

Hmmm, not too sure myself about letting 15 year olds behind the wheel...

You know that's one of our worries... Maybe we'll move back to the UK when our son is 14 and 11 months, and come back when he's 17!! ;)

Well, the beer is good at least.
