Tell me about Auckland

hrm interesting...the conservative bit does make sense, we are probably the most conservative western nation.


As for the more business focused i dont konw..if you go to places like DC, NYC or chicago thats true..since they are our financial and business capitals..as i'm guessing auckland is with NZ. Probably has to do with big cities more than our influence over your country.

I think most americans are pleasure focused, and work only to increase their own pleasure

 

Auckland bashing must be the in thing to do nowadays. Here is a photo of my cat. Who, like myself.. is a fellow Aucklander.

 

I live in Hawke's Bay, and I don't think Auckland is really as bad a place as everyone makes it out to be...

 

aww, cute cat.

And as for auckland - when they get rid of johnny banks, then maybe it'll be time to reconsider. Until then, ummm no.

 

ok laugh at me for this but who the heck is Johnny banks?

 

well, it's really John Banks. the mayor of auckland and a right twat.

 

well invercargill, gore, palmerston north, and wanganui get hassled jsut as much as auckland.

they all have their reasons ;P
and its the NZ way to mock.

so Not telling, boooooo hoooooooooo havea cry (ha ha ha ha ha in a jestful way)

oh, yeah, NZers do mock. Taking the piss is fun.

 

taking the piss = mock?

sorry for asking for all these translations

 

yeah, mocking is sort of the same - it's kind of a blend between mocking and tricking and satire, but mock will do

 

new zealnds new motto should be "And thy shall mock" pretty catchy.

nah palmy nth major beats it for been the biggest loser, he turned down the new stadium in palmy because he didnt like the speedway, it would have generated over 50% more profit than the cities already getting now grrrr

 

The thing i hate about Auckland is the BLOODY TRAFFIC. you deal with wankers continuosly on the motorway and then you become 1 of 'em haha. but seriously their traffic sucks nuts!! A 2 hr trip that shuld only take 20 mins is stupid shit!!!!

 

Glad I'm not in Wellington right now, the weather is extra crap.

 

yeah, worst storm in a decade? I hope my family haven't drowned, I havn't heard from them in a few days...

 

[example of mocking] sophie you walking ashtray[/example of mocking]

can be nasty, but if her nickname becomes "ashtray" or it is done in a jestful way then it is a mock.

Awwwwww poor Wanganui, its not THAT bad, it does its best!! Im going up there tomorrow for a week long holiday weeeeeheeee.

 

Warning: I'm such a fuckin' anal retentive concerning languages!

"And thy shall mock" should be "And thou shalt mock"

"Thy" is possessive, and thus "shall" would have to be brought into concord, and... ...oh fuck it. I'll shut my mouth now.

Anyway, Auckland gets the most shit, but probably deserves it.
