I know you.....................they wouldn't let you into Austrailia (along with all the other criminals) let alone New Zealand
What you trying to say DGP? I don't want to go to Australia, its full of dodgy things like snakes & spiders and convicts . My kids have dual nationality UK/NZ and I know where I'd rather be
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

no worries about that stormy I won't be booted out as they need tradesmen here i was fortunate to have a trade under me belt before i joined royal mail
you don't have to win the lottery to move here ....just an job offer and a bit of luck and ther guts to go on the otherside of the planet and start again

PS the buggers got teeth!
With chips yes or nay?
well actually that depends.....you panfry the fish in butter lemon a little garlic and onions sprinkle some cracked lemon pepper just a few mins per side its nice with creamy mash carrots and parsley sauce...you can get that here.....or as you said nice with good old chipos
the fish has a unique taste if you over season it you can kill the flavour best thing is its bloody free!!

Seriously though, the pics look great and I want you to know that I'm happy your living in Paradise. (just a little jealous)
Have you been out in the town on a Saturday night, jeez, it looks like the gates of hell have been opened and all the souls have escaped
Nah, that's going into work on a Saturday morning. That and Night of the Living Dead.
Haha your right pinstripe the hobbits are everywhere no its a totally different life here not many pubs on the island just a few bars.....you go for a few beers relax have a nice night ......no fights......no....who you looking at attutude.....the locals are great made me feel part of the place.... the Island is unique.
thanks mate after years in royal mail and too much stress, it became unbearable I decided to take a chance and get out and for the sake of my sanity i am glad I did....
you say about sheds, here the building regs are more relaxed than in the UK so you can actually have what they call a sleepout as long as you have the room to build it, these are like another house in your garden...bloody unreal
i live in a beachside appartment next door my neighbours house is a $1.5 mill house....but the thing is there is no snobbary here.....a guy and his wife just brought an appartment two blocks away......(holiday getaway) he lives in Auckland....this holiday appartment cost him $450.......he and his wife invited us in for drinks.....never me them before.....turns out hes an airline pilot.......again there are prople here that are loaded but there is no class wars

Christchurch has suffered nearly 500 aftershocks since the initial quake. It must be really unnerving knowing another big one could hit.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
