Hi Avid, i like all your "quips"
GDP per capita is a more valid comparison, of course. NZ is above South Korea, but still near the bottom of industrial countries !

Actually you'll find that Kev and sarah were right! go to www.timeanddate.com/worldclock it shows the time has 05.40 in Auckland we're 18.40 in the UK
No, I think they were correct.
NZ is always on GMT +12 hours, but because the UK is currently on British Summertime (GMT+1 hour) the time difference is only 11 hours at the moment.

I repeat- NZ is 12 hours ahead of GMT
NZ is 11 hours ahead of London(UK) time. Why?
Because we put our clocks forward to BST!
Cazafizz posted NZ was 12 hrs ahead of GMT not of BST.
NZ also has a daylight saving period in its Summer months. For a short period of about two weeks there is a 12 hour time difference. NZ put its clocks BACK in March to GMT but during its summer NZ is also 1 hour ahead of GMT making a time difference of 13 hours during the UK winter months because we in UK put our clocks back to GMT in winter!!
Confused? How do you think I feel?!
Those of you who think you know it all are damn annoying to those of us who do.

NZ along with Australia have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.
About half of NZ's greenhouse gas emissions come from methane belched and farted by cows.
The NZ car emissions test involves: seeing if the exhaust emissions is smokey 10-15 seconds after starting the engine.
Inflation is high in NZ, therefore so are interest rates, and the NZ dollar.

Lets see if NZ do well in the rugby world cup....coz if they don't we won't get to see any more matches on TV when they loose interest in what other countries are doing. Same with any sports...I bet in NZ was doing crap in America's cup it would have been taken off TV weeks ago!

Re: The slag off New Zealand Ultimate Thread.
One thing I really hate is people who come to New Zealand only to complain.
The All Blacks will win the world cup. Lets see how well England do, I think they could lose to Samoa they are so bad.
