Hamilton is boring

[smoky]

Springbok coach Peter de Villiers, reckons Hamilton is boring, and offers nothing to keep his team motivated
De Villiers said the South Africans would stay on the Gold Coast ahead of the match at Waikato Stadium against the All Blacks. He said there was nothing in Hamilton to keep his players entertained and believed apathy could set in.

Three years ago, Queensland Reds rugby captain Chris Latham blamed boredom for his team's 35-17 loss to the Chiefs.

So what do you think – is Hamilton Boring?

[TK3]

He must prefer the excitment of his beloved homeland where he has to sleep at night behing a 12 foot electrified barbed wire fence with two shot guns incase someone tries to kill him or rape his wife and daughter while he sleeps.... Ohhh now that sounds like never a dull moment....:spanking:

I'd take Hamilton.:bye:

having lived in hamilton my whole life id say if your over the age of 16 then yes hamilton in a boring place.

I'm thirty four, lived in Hamilton my whole life except for one year that I traveled through, Hong Kong, Thailand, Germany, Italy, Greece, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and althroughout USA what have you done???........ Hamilton is not boring... It is what you make it which means your boring....

See this is what is amusing... They're fucken rugby players!!! Play fucken rugby!!! They're paid to do a job, do the bloody thing. They're not paid to parade around going down waterslides and spinning in tea cups. What ever happened to focusing on your game? This is why rugby is boring now, the players are too busy chatting up Mickey to think about why they're here.

As for the Reds blaming the city for a loss, isn't that a good thing? ;) that's the plan isn't it? To make them lose.

But I digress, having only lived in 2 places, Waikato and Chch, the waikato is kinda boring BUT if you put it into context it still has what a lot of the other cities have also. Just not within the city limits. It'll still take you the same time to drive to the beach in Ham's as it does in Dork and who has the better surf?

Of course there are other examples but I can't remember haha.

You see Hamilton is actually clever. It's strategically placed itself in a rather central location to all the other "cool" places. This is so it still gets the benefit of short travel times to those places, without having to pay for them! Genius if you tell me. :Punk: I don't want to pay for test tubes of sharks, eroding beaches with pretty people, and stupidly big vege gardens. Let others pay for them and I'll take the same amount of time to get to them.

PS Also funny how only locals are saying anything about this :)

Overreaction says smoky hit a nerve.

It's not the first time it's been suggested the Hamilton is boring. In fact I believe it's widely known as the most boring city in the country.

[Maha]

Hamilton is boring, not to mention cold and foggy/a useless rugby team and it has a disgusting river running through it....and it is known as Hamihole, even by some of those that live there...poor poor Hamilton.

To add insult to injury, Hamiltonians must also cope with the embarassment of being associated with Craver and his flufferboy cling ons

He could take them to the Hamilton Gardens followed by a lovely stroll along the river. Don't get much more exciting than that.

[carver]

is a good place, its what you make of it

[Motu]

We had a Sth African at work last year,he was living in Hamilton and said it was boring....he lasted 2 weeks at work,then just disapeared with no explanation.Hamilton supplies most of what I need as my nearest city - but Auckland has far more interesting stuff to do,for free than Hamilton,or nearly every other NZ city for that matter.

[slofox]

Hamilton is not boring - if you own a motorbike....

[Bonez]

Where is this mythical place? I have vague memories of passing though a village of a similar description in the 70s/80s and early 90s. Full of trolls, monsters and elves.

Oh, thats right, Wanga/Whanga/Lawsanui is of an even lower standard.

Actually no, auckland is rock bottom, everything else is measured in a scale upwards.

There is no doubt Wanganui is a bit of a shithole, Which still ranks it as infinitely better then the land of Jafa.

Fuck me, All that going on and it still manages to be a boring shithole.

To be fair though, Most of that list is just a big pile of nothing.

[oldrider]

Voted "NO". Not boring for me, I don't live there and don't go there very often! <_<

Right now I think it would be exciting to go to Hamilton. :bye:

Just haven't got a reason to go there! :mellow:

Come to think of it, right now for me, it would be exciting to go "anywhere"! :shifty:

[Jez]

why do we give a shit about what De Villiers says ... the guys a freaking lunatic that slips his muzzle occasionally to say yet another stupidly offensive sound bite for the media to grab and run with ...

Anywhere you live is what you make it, I personally find Invercargill has a lot more to do for me than Christchurch does, but I fully understand that alot of people will think of Invercargill as a shithole ... yet strangely enough i dont give a shit :P

[Bonez]

You can bypass it right? And left too I believe. How does it compare to Ashhurst?

[Headbanger]

Go the All Blacks.


And Hamiltonions HTFU.


:wari::wari::wari:

[smoky]

Well I’ve lived in a few countries around the world, they all have there up and downs. To say a town is boring you have to have some expectations of it.
If you expect to go out and have a bit of fun, drinking and dancing – the Tron has a good selection of pubs and bars all in walking distance from each other, within cheap taxi rides from hotels. It may not rate compared to wellington or Auckland, but it's safer and cheaper. It maybe full of young hot students getting totally pissed, uninhibited and rather unfussy (that must hold some attraction for a few). It seems to get it’s fair share of good bands too. It seems to hold it’s end up well for sports and entertainment.

As a place to live; in and around Hamilton is spoilt for places to relax and play sport, awesome walks and cycling, very green. Then there’s plenty of places to fish, surf and swim 30 mins out of town at Raglan, not to mention the recreation ground of the Coromandel being on our door step.

There’s no worries about flooding, tornado’s, tsunamis, volcanoes or earthquakes – that’s the kind of boring I like.

But the best thing about Hamilton is the access to some of the best bike riding in the world. It’s fantastic.

[wysper]

I am a Hamiltonian - born here.

At the end of the day, a place is just a place. How you want to see it is entirely up to you.
A place is what you make of it.
A place is the people you are with.

Hamilton is my place. I like it here.
It is fine if you think it is a boring shit hole. I don't know you and I don't care.

Thats not very accurate or fair Brett. They can watch Tauramanui turds float down the river most afternoons, and the public bar at the Castlecliff Hotel is a hoot n nanny if you enjoy retards fighting and throwing up at the bar.
And Victoria Ave is awsome on a Sat night:zzzz:

Come and look at this dear.....All the parochial kiwis defending their own boring urban shitholes

[slofox]

I was gunna tell the sprimbops coach that Hamiltron didn't used to be boring - but then a whole lot of expat yarpies arrived and that was that....it was fucked.

But I thought I better not in case he thought it was a racist statement...

Two good things about Hamilton.

Quasimoto is based there.
The Waipa Delta is a great way to spend an evening. Nice food too.

Your dreaming if you think anyone is going to come to the defence of Wanganui, Its reputation is well deserved.

Hell, If it wasn't for the prison then even the gangs wouldn't live here.(though it also maybe the lack of jobs that keeps them here)

[DougB]

In my engineering workshop I display a big sign "I LONG FOR BOREDOM"
It is said to be good for your health to get bored. I cant ever remember being bored, close to it in some meetings.

I retired to Hamilton from Paihia in the Bay Of Islands and it was the best move I have ever made. It is important to remember that people are more important than places. You don't get bored where you have good company. Since coming to Hamilton I have made very many friends and hundreds of acquaintances.

One of my occupations in the Bay of Islands was as a locksmith. People would shift there and be enraptured by its beauty and recreational facilities. I would be called to change their locks and thus got to know them. Over half of these people shifted back to where they had come from to their friends and family.

If you friends an family are in Hamilton then that is the place to be if they are in Wanganui then there you should be and you wont get bored.

[Swoop]

hasn't that shifted to Auckland?
Dunno. It was nice when I was on it for an evening trip with work, a while back. WTF would Auckland want with it??

[wickle]

Worked there 30 years ago for six months nothing wrong with Hamilton except then the people were boring

[eelracing]

Hamilton aint that bad...hell last night i got refused entry to a bar coz i was to old.

That would never happen in Wanga's.

Hamilton maybe Boring but.......
Dunedin is a Riot.

[mister.koz]

Only real downside about hamilton is the lack of a beach (rags is 20 mins away) and the extremely boring 40 minute ride to get to the coro loop.

A place is what you make it, hamiltons got almost everything and everything else is fairly close.

It is boring if you have no transport, no money and no ambition.. but then its not hamilton being boring then is it???

[ready4whatever]

I know theres an asian massage parlour

[ckai]

...Wanganui, Its reputation is well deserved.


Does Wanganui still have it's slogan as "Worth the Journey"? You always have to be suspicious of a "city" that states it's worth the journey.

Have to admit, for all the places I've travelled around, the waikato would have to have some of the best riding roads around. Northland is up there of course and it goes without saying the West Coast is the biz, but for variety and close proximity to the city Waikato is the sheezel.

But alas, time for my nana nap. All this excitement is got me sleepy.

Yeah, Because you listed shopping, a picture theatre and a beach, so far your beating Patea as their theatre has closed, But their beach is much closer.

[mister.koz]

Yeah, Because you listed shopping, a picture theatre and a beach, so far your beating Patea as their theatre has closed, But their beach is much closer.

Zoo, nightclubs, restaurants, racing events, sporting events, good statium, good roads, bike shops, riding community, biker events, the hamilton gardens, easy to get around, easy to exit, middle-sized population, hot air baloons, creative groups are strong (literary, dance, mechanical, knitting), the right sized cafe culture (i.e. small enough to be interesting, large enough to be good), field days, theater, art, movies, corner dairies that sell lollies, pungent Indian restaurants AND if thats not enough hamilton is close to lots of great things, rotorua, taupo, tauranga, kawhia, raglan, coromandel, auckland...

Still a place is what you make it, if there's nothing fun in there then its an obvious point that the subject is not the boring, its the viewer.

You can't save the fallen, direct the lost or motivate the lazy.

Yeah, Because you listed shopping, a picture theatre and a beach, so far your beating Patea as their theatre has closed, But their beach is much closer.
