Re: Kiwi ways of saying stuff
Around the time of the July 7th bombings my Kiwi FIL rang me up to ask -
"Have there been any more skiers on the tube?"
WTF? Skiers on the tube
Say it in a Kiwi accent - you'll work it out - took me a while!

Going back to this "bash" thing. I don't thing it was used when I was living there. We used to say "bashed up" so maybe they shortened that down since I've been away.
Is everyone aware of the Islands/ Maori handshake which is different to the pakeha way. Find that odd.
