A Maori encounter.

[martybabe]

I overtook a couple of cars full to the gunnels with Maori peeps,didn't think much of it,except how did so many people squeeze into such small cars, a bit further along I swung a righty down an empty road towards the coast for a ciggy stop.So there I am chillin on this road to nowhere when two cars come hooning up the gravel and screech to a halt.I'm thinking hello, all this space and they want to park on top of my bike,odd. :confused:

72 doors flung open and out jumped the all blacks first and second squad and some mates. The biggest ugliest gnarliest meanest looking one steams over towards me at a rate of knots and it dawns on me these were the motors I'd overtaken shortly before.As mister angry brick shithouse closes on me I'm thinking,dont like this a lot,obviously taken exception to me wafting past their rusty Toyota's. Come on brain says I,fight or flight,fight or flight? cast a glance at my helmet and keys absorbing some rays on a log about 50 metres away and realised buggering off quick as was not an option.:shit:

In a nanosecond I weighed up that I could twat this bastard pretty good before his mates pulled me apart limb from limb.I'm not a violent man but I could at least go to my grave with a small victory like a true viking,I'd done bugger all wrong and I wasn't going to meet my maker without cracking a nose or blacking an eye to say I'd been there. :angry2:

Colossus the knob is within striking distance now and he throws out his hand sayin " Yo bro you the local iwi?". Ignorant pom speaks next " who you calling a fugging earwig smeghead!" 327 pairs of dark angry eyes turn in my direction, "sorry bro I'm from kakawhakaflapjack just wanting to meet up with the local boys,say hello, you local ?" Simultaneously I notice the thrust out arm was in shake hand mode, his manner was friendly and the sun was being blacked out by panting angry looking men mountains. OH..oh..oh!,yeah no nah I mean,live here you know,not long tho not erm native or anything..shaking dinner plate size hand furiously by now :Oops: . Saying... pom you know yes dont know much er stuff and that ,squeek,thinking... please dont kill me, Ive got a bathroom to fit tomorrow Mr giant. Ah it's all good,he said as he turned on his heels and headed back to the cars muttering some shit about bloody poms.

I watched em shoulder each other into the tiny tiny cars and pittyed the poor springs as the back ends hit the deck. As they drove off I thought, yeah,you wanna piece of me ya ugly fuggers and please dont stop.

:confused: have you ever weighed up a situation ever so slightly wrong? :laugh:

p.s. Maori numbers exaggerated to justify slight bladder weakness. :confused:

[kevfromcoro]

good read....
should of had a box of lion red with ya...
friends for life.

[oldrider]

I think there is probably a lot of that, they always used to be friendly but the TV media seems to like to paint bad scenes all the time these days. :spudwhat: John.

[Headbanger]

bloody poms.:2thumbsup:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

It wasn't who they were so much as what they were doing and how they were doing it. I'd got world war three playin in my head and the bloke only wanted to say hello. Still I expect he's well impressed with my social skills. :rolleyes:

To you Gigantor :apint:

[McJim]

Just coz 'ez brown don't mean 'ez fick.

I reckon he did it all on purpose and him and his mates were pissing themselves with laughter all the way up the road.

"Hey did you see the look on that white fella's face?"
"Yeah, I reckon 'e pissed his trousers"
"Funny bro' - nice"
:rofl:
Coming from a native population myself I can relate. We used to get like 2 (sometimes even 3!!) Glaswegians together and go and intimidate a coachload of English football supporters. Really funny to see them cower.

Ouch. :lol: Yeah I remember the girl guide footy tour of Strathclyde as well, ya shook them girls up alright.:lol: It woulda took four of ya to intimidate a coach load of sassanachs after they'd had a few shandy's. :banana:

So nobodys gonna fess up to judging a situation a li'll bit wrong eh?

[avgas]

I used to be the little white boy who collected glasses at the local kumara pit (talisman tavern). Bar lady was a nice big lass and she said i was a little psyco who had a knife and if they caused any shit with me to watch out cost i might just cut their nuts off. It was funny much more nicer they were to me after that. I was still scared shitless, but it seemed so were they so it seemed to work out.
Never seen so many 750 Wai's and Reds leave a fridge as i have on a good night at the pit. Different world aye.

:lol::lol: Legend. Do ya remember li'll old whitey phsyco boy,used to work at the pit? yea ya do,he'd cut ya nuts off if you didn't drink fast enough.Nutless george told me.

Brilliant mate.

[FkNAmerican]

I never ounce had a problem with the Maori the entire time I was in NZ. In fact I found them to be quite nice overall. Funny enough but the only time I had a scuffle was with a fellow American who was being a complete shit for brains after a Crusaders game. Didint even know he was from the 'States till it was too late.....course it wouldnt have changed anything really.....an asshole is an asshole regardless. I remmember afterwards thinking "4 million people or so in this country, its about as far away from where I live as possible, and who is the first person to give me shit......a fuckin American.........jesus fuckin christ". Had a good laugh on that one.

[tri boy]

A couple of experiences spring to mind.
Two large gents "eyed" the black Daytona outside a Gizzy take away.
They entered said take away, and stood over the skinny white guy who was sitting down, chomping into a steak burger.
(ever wondered what a Bison would look like to an ant)?
Turn out to be top blokes just wanting to ask a few Q's about the bike. (even told me to avoid Wairoa that evening as an "issue" was brewing.

Fast forward to Te Kaha. Rode into town about 3ishpm. Headed for the pub to book accom, and shoot pool, and have an ale or two. By 7pm, what seemed like the whole of Te Kaha was sizing up the white boy for a pillage.
Ended up being a "highly" sociable session until the small hours of the next morning.

Hard to judge a book by its cover.;)
Ones attitude and body language can speak volumes to locals. If your acting like an arrogant, red neck dickhead, then your probably in deep shit. When in Rome, do as etc etc ............

[Finn]

I had a similar incident a couple of years back. A couple of bro's turned up at the office saying they were here to fix the air conditioning and took off with several laptops.

[007XX]

Bahahahaha...Marty, you big goof! :2thumbsup:hug:

Nice write up sir, I was there with you (so to speak).

A couple of my very best mates are the maori brick shit house like sort, but are the best gentle giants. However, they can look rather serious I agree.

At the Motor Show in Hamilton this past weekend, a few gang riders came along on the stand I worked on for KTL Motorcycles....great big stand, with lots of Harleys and other brands of bikes.
These guys were staunchly walking around, very stern looks on their faces...so I just walked up to them with a big smile on my face and chatted them up like I do (being my usual sales rep charmer). Well, they just seemed to crumble right in front of my eyes...absolutely lovely guys, a couple almost stuttering as this skinny blond would talk to them about Fatbob and Night Trains...:laugh:

I think that half of the time, they are bored of being feared and the fearsome look is more a habit than a true character trait. Still, I wouldn't like to be on the wrong side of them...:o

[scumdog]

Yeah I'd say most Poms would be scared of two or three guys in skirts. :dodge:

Hey!
Not ALL of us wear 'skirts':devil2:

[nodrog]

white people can look like shitheads too.

[martybabe]

Aint it the truth! Rather bizarly,I experience exactly the same thing every day. Little old ladies wont share a lift with me unless the wifes in tow, young mothers steer there kids away from me in shops,women cross the road to avoid me,even the ones I know.:lol:

Yes I'm a bulky skinhead with a zz top beard but I'm such a nice guy really,love the bride,adore me kids,do anything for anybody,wouldn't harm a soul but my exterior clearly says dangerous thug beast to some. Ah well me mom loves me. :cool:

[firefighter]

I think there is probably a lot of that, they always used to be friendly but the TV media seems to like to paint bad scenes all the time these days. :spudwhat: John.

yes and 99% of those scenes now days are all you get, it's a shame they used to be very welcoming and warm people. And yes I can sit on the fence and say that shit before anyone thinks off red repping that! I know a lot of really nice families but the only reason theyr'e so nice is because i'm a friend.......

[007XX]

Aaawww... I feel a :grouphug: coming along...we love ya too big fella! :yes:

[martybabe]

Damn child your a sweet thing. :love:

[007XX]

Only telling it like it is sir...:yes:

I am a big fan of not judging a book by its cover, as I have seen some of the most beautiful people being complete and utter [censored]...and yet, some of the roughest ones coming to my rescue like knights in shining armours...

Ain't life's diversities grand? ;)

[idb]

Hey!
Not ALL of us wear 'skirts':devil2:

At least put something on!!!!!!

[CookMySock]

hrm, I have been cornered and threatened way more times than I would like to remember. Generally there is some minor misdemeanor I have commited that they would just like to have their say on. I have found them to be highly amused if I have something to say though. Their society seems to be based around finding some whitey weakling and extracting some forced apology from them. Quite sick of it actually.

[martybabe]

It aint about Maoris It's about getting a person or situation completely wrong.

on a trip to white island recently,I noticed a little old lady struggling with the terrain and offered assistance a couple of times,she flatly refused didn't want a bar of me,yet she was accepting help from other people. come the end of the trip you've gotta scrub your footwear so as not to corrode the boat deck.

Every ones on the dingy waiting to go when I spotted the old dear on the jetty all alone. I clambered out the boat, ran down the jetty and offered to wash her shoes. She accepted this time cause she had no choice and I gently picked her up sat her on my knee and washed the trainers on the end of her very unbendy legs. escorted her back to the boat and made sure she was all good. well you'd think she'd found her soul mate.Blarblar blar,lovely young man blarblar blarblar. This is the woman that was on the brink of bitch slapping me with her gas mask half an hour before! Bless

Moral ; A good heart can reside even in a bad ass lookin mudder Fugger. :bye:

:killing me:killingme I'd just been for a skinny dip in the middle of a guided castle tour, the brides face says it all. I love ya but you can be an embarrassing twat some times,Put your pants AWAY!

Don't know the first guy but as for Miss Hilton,I think I'm right in saying she aint the sharpest tool in the box. Then again the way my judgements going she could be a blardy genius eh. :clap:

[pete376403]

Going to the Brass one year we ended up on the freight ferry as the regular passenger boats were booked out. Went into the (pretty small) bar on that boat and there were a whole bunch of Black Power guys, all kitted up in patches and stuff. even had one guy whose job seemed to be hold the flag and not let it drape on the floor. Anyway, we two white, bike riding guys walk in on this lot.
And they were fine. Said hello, started talking, turns out the captain of the passenger ferry wouldn't let them on. Told them all about the Brass, had a few beers, played cards (however we were careful not to win).

Oh cool dude :laugh: Good call not winning, winning aint all that.It's the taking part and not getting mashed that counts. :yes: Top bloke.

Stupid pom question 324: do the black power,mongrels,or any of them gangy boys actually ride bikes? Well I dont know do I,came in on the last banana boat I did.

I bet she wasn't amused,that said at least with black undies no skid mark to see,good thinking there.She may have been pissed off cause she had nice white knickers or none so couldn't join in,oops.

The first guy is/was our dickhead rugby world cup captain,paid megabucks to be the best,but hadn't worked out the ref wasn't dishing out any penalties to us,and couldn't change the game plan,we moan about the poms boring 10 man rugby,but at least they got to final.

[martybabe]

I bet she wasn't amused.

The first guy is/was our dickhead rugby world cup captain,

She's resigned to it. "don't do it Mart,think of the children,come on now can't we just have a nice day out...." :lol:

Ah,Rugby,I've heard of such things, thats the boring stuff that spoils a good haka init? :Playnice:

[jonbuoy]

When I first got here from the UK if someone I didn't know came up to me in a pub or club and started chatting I'd check my wallet and check my shoulder. Even more disturbing was the first time pissing in a pub unrinal and having the bloke next to me spark up a conversation.... You forget how different things are down-under after a while. Hope I don't ever loose it.

Bloody oath.

Just joshin YN, I get the same reaction when I go on about football,no not soccer, football,a game played with footwear on! :lol:

See,that's the point,see a bloke in a dress and you make assumptions,there may be a perfectly good reason for it. err..cant think of one. :lol:

Hells teeth, I get confuzzled for Maori all the time, and then Samoan and Japanese and Indonesian and ... even a chinaman once or twice :doh:

So I never judge a book by a cover ... and its even funnier when people find out that I'm a teacher! :lol:

Too good ow!

You meet the nicest people on a Honda! :innocent: But there was this one time, on Twilight road ... and a blardy scotsman ruined the day by turning up! :oi-grr:

We're all guilty of judging others by how they look I guess.Met this bloke,He was hidious,looked like swamp thing on a bad hair day with no teeth,turned out to be a right fugging laugh,top bloke. Still couldn't look at him tho. :lol:

I knew a Scotsman link below.

I don't think the mob have too many but the Black Power are known to have heaps at various "wharehouses".(as well as many rare cars)

[homer]

Just coz 'ez brown don't mean 'ez fick.

I reckon he did it all on purpose and him and his mates were pissing themselves with laughter all the way up the road.

"Hey did you see the look on that white fella's face?"
"Yeah, I reckon 'e pissed his trousers"
"Funny bro' - nice"
:rofl:

Yeah. See , white colonialist oppression all over.

I bet you wuz office of the watch, last time my hapu tried to express their justified grievances at their exploitation by the white oppressors, at Kororareka, t'other year . Ever serve on HMS Hazard , eh ? I reckon you wuz, reckon I saw you on the poop deck eh ?

We would have won that, if it weren't for youse n y' blurdy cannon.

Do my legs qualify?

[Ixion]

Well, I'm toild on reputable authority (well, he claimed to be reputable, and that all those convictions relating to public toilets were a misunderstanding ) that two of them are quite well shaped and of reaonable size. But the third is tiny to the point of being laughable, and badly malformed.

[skidMark]

After the 5th time they tried to jump me for my stuff i stopped trusting them.

Guys in skirts are verrrry sexy :blip:

Many moons ago I was on a road trip around the East Cape with a couple of car loads of youffs. We got refused a place to stay at Tolaga bay New Years eve(go figure) and headed north for a crash place. Found a suitable off the road,close to beach place and stopped. Not for long mind, a local came along and told us we could not stay unless we made a donation to the reserve board. We did and he went away.

Fast forward to darkness, fire on beach (we used to be allowed to do that once upon a time) car stereo doing its thing. Many dark figures coming up the beach towards us. Fair to say was quietly shitting, they were big and menacing and I was small and a pit bissed. These fellas came to our fire, and asked if they could join us!

Yeeha! One of the best nights I have ever spent. Ten guitars, and pearly shells rock out!

First impressions count for nothing.

[Trudes]

Yep, some of the best nights on the piss I've had have been with the natives.:2thumbsup

[CookMySock]

I recall being at the school swimming pool... 1975....7 years old, asked if I was "married" took my lil scot immigrant brain a while to realise I was being asked if I was Maori. Even my Dad, he's been in NZ for 35 years now, still gets asked on the odd occasion. We figure it's the nose....

Do you know what,I think I'm ok with it, I'm such a lost pinky Englishman abroad if some one thinks I'm maybe a little bit native NZ,Thats cool.It doesn't take long to shatter that misconception,I cant pronounce any place names correctly,I like my dinner cooked above ground and what you lot see in rugby is beyond me but to be thought of as at least partly kiwi is ok by me. :D

Weeeellll...I wasn't born here, but I got some Kiwi into me (or rather I get some on a regular basis :whistle: :devil2:)
*Sorry, of poor taste I know, but I just had to...:D*

Anyhooooooo...I'm probably one of the best examples that you can't judge a book by its cover. What with the fact my skin makes a porcelain bowl look positively brown and that I was born on a tropical island...it is immediately assumed that i must tan easily and be exotic looking.

Truth is: I turn a delightful Lobster shade if left in the sun for longer than 10 minutes and was nicknamed the Albino as a child :rolleyes: After years of teasing, I'm over it, but the scars run deep Man...:eek5:

Honnestly, it was a relief moving to NZ, where I don't stand out as much anymore...But people still make funny faces when they hear where I'm from.

The lesson here is clearly, what you see isn't always what you get,there are some damn fine people out there that look like there off the set of monsters inc. or dawn of the dead. Give em a chance and you may have an ugly mofo friend for life.

I recall being at the school swimming pool... 1975....7 years old, asked if I was "married" took my lil scot immigrant brain a while to .

Funny...I never get mistaken for a kiwi. Talking of married.

After announcing he's getting married, a boy tells his pal he'll be wearing the kilt.
'And what's the tartan?' asks his mate.
'Oh, she'll be wearing a white dress,'

This sounds like fun. How to get on this boat ? Is it cheaper ? Is it generally available to the public ?

DBI don't think that boat is on the run anymore. Was called the Arahanga. Was the same as the other ferries, but carried more freight and had only limited passenger facilites, intended mainly for truck drivers.
