Re: The real New Zealand picture thread
I can burn body fat for 2 weeks before being in danger...as for water...I'll just drink it out of the bay, it looks nice enough!
Seriously though, it wouldn't hurt to have some water and cash tucked away if the big one hits...

We have some water stashed and blankets and stuff. Usually quite a few tins in the cupboard.
We need emergency cat food supplies though

Re: The real New Zealand picture thread
Your photos are truly representative of too much of rural NZ, but where's
the ubiquitous corrugated iron aesthetic? What better representation
of Kiwi ingenuity is there than a wriggly tin patch job?
These are my neighbors across the street. Note there is some wriggly tin
in the yard.

You mean windy Welly!
Ever see the movie "Wah Wah"?
Turning perfectly respectable words into their dimunitives has gone
completely out of control here. And I think it's even worse in Australia.
Reminds me of a scene from "The Lost Weekend" starring Ray Milland:
GLORIA: No thanks. Thanks a lot, but no thanks. There's somebody
waiting.
DON: Him? I bet he wears arch supporters.
GLORIA: Oh. He's just an old friend of the folks. Lovely gentleman.
He buys me dimpled Scotch.
DON: He sould buy you Indian rubies, and a villa in Calcutta
overlooking the Ganges.
GLORIA: Don't be ridic.
DON: Gloria, please, why imperil our friendship with these
loathsome abbreviations?
