Don't they?? I thought everyone had an accent, no matter who they are, I am not sure what point you are trying to make....not very good for someone who has studied journalism.:p

jokerman

where do you live? just asking as you dont seem to have anything nice or constructive about anything in NZ

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Ok, just for you, something nice... The scenery is nice. :p I hope you don't think I am trying to piss on your parade? It must be an exciting time for you as you are about to embark on a journey to the other side of the world. All the best in the future.:thumbup: I have my opinions on NZ, and I agree, not everyone will feel the same. I hope NZ is everything you want, and more.

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Do you think so? At best it's no different to Scotland and at worst it's all weird volcanic mountains.

I wouldn't say it was nice like the Cotswalds are nice.


Big, dramatic, dotted with sheds...yes.

Nice...no.

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

well if its like scotland for scenery i would say it will be beautiful. Scotland i would say has the most beautiful scenery in the world and i know lots the world over that come to scotland for there holiday say the same so im not just being biased, unfortunatly scotland is a part of the UK and its crap to live in

but yea nice to hear you say something nice for a change tyty

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Hi Avid, interesting view (as always).

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

And the weather is shit in scotland...and its full of scottish...joke joke :eek::lol:

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Yes, it's exactly like Scotland. Full of ferns, pohutakau trees, palm trees etc. Just like Scotland.

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

ha ha good one.....
:rofl::rofl:

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Of course the scenery isn't nice in NZ:p - it is fabulous, dramatic, awesome, breathtaking - Cotswold is Nice but not Breathtaking or Dramatic - can't comment on Scotland but I hear say it is as near to the South Island landscape as you can get. Scotland is well - scotland!:rofl:

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Blantyre to New Zealand ..... you might notice a change ....... hahaha no kids hangign about on corners

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Have you actually been to Scotland ........ volcaninc mountains ..... not that many in Scotland to be fair

IMO the views here in south island are breathtaking at times

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

Yes, but the defining scenery of Scotland/NZ that is most alpine (like the Southern, erm, Alps.....) is essentially volcanic or as the result of the action of glaciers, etc on that type of rock - look at the Red Cullin, Black Cullin, even Edinburgh's landscape......ever walked the Cullin Rigde or looked out over Skye from the Southern tops?? The area is peppered with old volcanic rocks, volcanoes, as are other parts of Scotland.......most of them rather older than those in Auckland but similar......

This is all to do with volcanic activity...plus there are lots of the other features that result from similar processes to those that went on in NZ.

Our Alps and Fjords are similar to Scotaland's mountains and sea lochs, just on a different scale....eh?

But Avid does like to turn the handle some times.......but he is not that far wide of the mark.......on that part at least.......;)

And on the palm tree front - its not as stupid as some would characterise.....ever been to Plockton on the West Coast and seen the palm trees there......thank the Gulf Stream and a ring of hills for that one. :D

Re: Kiwi-lingo
 

I have and it is pretty strange - but it is the only place in Scotland to have them. The hills are hardly cloaked in swathes of palm trees. It's a bit like saying England's full of tigers because one escaped from the zoo. :p
