Ken Gargett Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 have a look at this youtube blurb about NZ. A G'day all, have a look at this youtube blurb about NZ. A colleague of mine (from Syria) got one of our ESL classes to watch this and complete a worksheet of comprehension questions. I had been wondering what it was with Kiwi blokes... Matt
Ken Gargett Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 right, i give up. will send to rob to see if he can load.
Ken Gargett Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 There's no link? there was a link in the email i received but buggered if i can make it appear here. hence, i have sent it to rob to post, if he will (though he may not be speaking with me as yet, innocent-ish as i am of all charges - refer cigar recommendations).

El Presidente Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 apologies. that should read lighter bodied cigar thread and not the cigar recommendations one. i'm having a real hash of a day. Here you go Ken
Ken Gargett Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Here you go Ken many thanks. i am assuming it was an incredibly difficult thing to do and you got minismithy on board for it?
El Presidente Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 many thanks. i am assuming it was an incredibly difficult thing to do and you got minismithy on board for it? .....yes It was the hardest 10 seconds of my life.

Colt45 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 i'm having a real hash of a day. I've emailed the people who's addresses you've posted here, with a link to this thread - I'm sure they'll find it comical. You do realize that you can edit your posts, so as not to have ten useless ones?.... or do you.....
rckymtn22 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Ken, you might want to edit out all the email addresses. Makes you wonder about New Zealand.
Ken Gargett Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 have removed email addresses. given that there were a number of people in between, and i have never heard of any of them or they me, emailing them probably only got some other poor bastard i've never heard of in the soup.
shrink Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Let me see if I understand all this... The government gives you ten sheep when you're sixteen, but you need a license to marry your sister? The average IQ of men in NZ is ony one-half that of women, so the Prime Ministers are all women? Therefore: In New Zealand, you don't need a license to marry a sheep, unless it's the Prime Minister.

DocRKS Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It's amazing that no matter where you are on this planet - the folks there have a 'favourite' group that is the butt of their jokes.... We spent a really lovely few weeks in Nova Scotia and found the punch line to many of their jokes whose point was how stupid another group of people are were 'Newfies' - which is the term we heard referring to folks from Newfoundland... When we sailed to Newfoundland - we heard variations of the same jokes - but the butt of their jokes were folks from Nova Scotia...and Prince Edward Island.... So with the Australia/New Zealand situation - is it just good natured humour and teasing between these 2 countries - or is there some animosity here?

stargazer14 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have to say that video gave me quite the chuckle today. I have always wanted to visit NZ, and want to do so even more now! will be headed over the see the Grand Prix in Melbourne one of these coming years, I'll drop over to see the sheep for a week or two.

Freefallguy Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 many thanks. i am assuming it was an incredibly difficult thing to do and you got minismithy on board for it? This coming from a man that took 7 tries to do so and still shot blanks??
Ken Gargett Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 This coming from a man that took 7 tries to do so and still shot blanks?? i have every reason to believe that my machine is not compatible with ayala (or his machine). and i think he has put blockers or whatever on me in case i post anything that he thinks might be incriminating. not that i would. not that there would ever be anything incriminating.
