Hmm, I’m not convinced. Why don’t they just bow to public pressure and finally hook up?
All I know is the Kiwi’s who I met in London were extremely hospitable, let us crash at their place, and introduced me to the bar, The Church.

That’s it? Two sentences? Not even a paragraph. If there’s supposed to be a link somewhere, or an embedded video somebody forgot to do something.
First thing that came to mind;
In Australia, the environment actively kills people.

Sorrrrrry… obviously the superior boinger adds to a conversation (err…what’s the conversation?) of antipodean differences by pointing out the similarities. I’ll endevour (geddit?) to be more conversational in the future. I was just trying to point out that one country has its own tectonic plate, and a clumsy allusion to to New Zealanders being more touchy about being mistaken for Australians. But my posts were brief because it’s morning here and I’m busy preparing for work . Or according to the generally patronising posts on boing boing , I’ll be spending the rest of the waking day avoiding creatures that want to kill me.

It’s weird - most of the time when a foreigner does an Aussie accent, they fuck up half the vowels like that, like in Point Break, in which someone apparently thought nobody would know they used South Efricans.
There’s quite a range of accents here, from ABC News presenter to full yobbo ocker, but nobody here speaks like thet.

As an Aussie I regard Enzed as a convenient backup. Like an emergency country which I could start using if Tony Abbott got back in power again.
