Red face Re: Things to be grateful for

Gobby jobless overweight people

heaps in auckland.

Chavs/Hoodie

I get to see them everyday in town - but they are islanders mostly. and I don't like them.

Brainless single mothers

HEAPS in NZ.- they are on DPB but having another baby without father. How disgusting.

The dole culture

I saw quite a few ppl on dole for lifetime. and they have no desire to go to work for rest of life time but borrow money from govt (you don't have to pay back coz they are on benefit for life time) and study at uni - takes 20 years part time study and no aim to finish a degree or find a job at the end. - they just do it for fun. and they are reasonably healthy. Disgusting.

Britains underclass

how about Nz's underclass?

Class-ism does exist here.

I simply didn't know,, before working for the ministry - I hated the sort of odd feelings - they regard themselves as high(est) class in NZ.

Kiwi scum are lightyears behind UK scum. Aucklanders think West Auckland is rough and full of wasters, compared to the UK it's like Beverly Hills. I always chuckle when I hear Kiwi's on about crime, drugs, alcohol, doleys problems. They really have no idea. They should spend some time in similar sized UK cities to Auckland and they'd be amazed.

Oh that's crap I like Come dine with me
coach trip is crap.

Where can I get one of those dart guns, I'd have shot almost every f***er when I was back in blighty

Can you imagine the job satisfaction if that was a real job. They'd be queuing around the block for application forms

I don't miss:

Gobby jobless overweight people
Hoards of Mobocarts
Theiving Smackheads
Chavs/Hoodies/Scallies
Brainless single mothers
Council estate scrubbers
Litter
The dole culture
Britains underclass
Throw away society
Odd that! Have the West Auckland crowd all gone into hiding?

As for hoodies. OMG it really must be summer if they've peeled those off.

I quite often feel we live among Bubble and co of the Trailer Park boys.

I didn't see any of that when I was last over and I didn't think Pak 'n' Save was that bad to be honest, a bit like a warehouse rather than a supermarket.

I saw a few wasters in Northshore but nothing compared to here

Where would you be looking? The first I even heard about that was on Winners and Losers (Aussie series) so they must be here.
