Re: Negative Vibes.

Fair call but your assertion that the lifestyle is better simply doesn't add up to me. We go kayaking at a local club every other week; my daughter plays hockey at weekends, swims every week, goes to...

Re: Negative Vibes.

Like I said, insecurity. Kiwis love to bash England mainly because it justifies their own isolated little existence in NZ. Where I worked 90% of the staff had never left NZ. And that wasn't through...

Re: Negative Vibes.

Crap lifestyle you say? Where exactly in the UK did you live? Our lifestyle encompasses all that we did and had in NZ, and is much better in some cases! We live an outdoor lifestyle as time/weather...

Re: Long term Opportunities for the Kids?

Difficult but just bear in mind that a very significant proportion of educated Kiwis end up earning in Australia, UK and USA. This is for the obvious reasons that NZ does not have the same level of...

What a shame. Shirley Mall had just been developed when we left and we really liked what they had done. Very modern and bright. Great Cinemas and bars too. However, I had experience of the local kids...

NZ has its youth problems does it not? Suicide? Heavy drug use? Road deaths? Random violence? What's your point? I recall numerous instances whilst in NZ of police officers having to leave certain...

Re: Will the Lions win??

Well we've picked the most dynamic pack available which is an admission by SCW that he got it wrong. If we don't win it won't be for the lack of invention this time. But it IS a big ask.

Re: All Blacks Here We Come

Is that the same 'fast and wide' game they tried in the World Cup? I hope so! Without the forwards winning good ball they won't do a thing! By the way. Wilko won't even start the game, he'll be on...
