Re: The negative New Zealand thread
Having spent over 2 years in New Zealand, mainly in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Tauranga and lots of weeks in other places except the south Island (which I fully know is a sin) but my girlfriend did live in Nelson for over a year. I have also spent at least 30 % of my time with Maore/island people too. Have also spent 6 months in California and 6 months in British Columbia, Canada
You should change your username to bloody Gypsy having lived in all those places. I will get onto admin for you and get it changed

Re: The negative New Zealand thread
Agreed that why I also started The everythings great in NZ thread .
Post ALL the positives on that thread.
This way everyone get to post both +'s & -'s and the viewer decides what THEY want to take on board
Just seems that most people want to post and read (have you compared the viewing figures) the negatives than post and read the positives

Re: The negative New Zealand thread
and pies.... whats deal with pies..... they need to get over pies.... pies are boring.... even really really good pies are at best very nice once in a while.... they are not something you have after the pub (although after a night in a kiwi pub even a microwave pie might feel tempting by comparison) ..... they think they invented the wretched things... i wish they had.... then at least we could blame them for the sh*te they are.....
