I live in Auckland, Fiji

[Katman]

For me.. I paid 210k for a house, and I am 400m from the manukau harbour.. where I can walk my dog with no leash, and so forth. Every now and again there's a p house explosion or someone gets stabbed, but my parents live in howick, and they have more incidents like that than we do.

You don't have to describe Weymouth to me mate.

My mother-in-law lives in Beihlers Rd.

Bonza cobber.

But I had a hu-u-u-ge long weekend cruising the fair city of sails on a Heritage Softail 3 weeks ago.

... someone remind me why we let the south island have internets..?

It's called grooming.

Shit! I just walked through a small park in Manukau City and crushed empty cans of bourbon & cola were strewn all over, about three or four cases worth! In addition to the rubbish already there: Wrappers, bottles, plastic bags, etc...

Yup it sucks.
I spent alot of my teenage years getting drunk in Wattle Downs, Rewa. but it was alot better back then.
Unfortunatley it's not just the south I think its just city living in general.

I take solace in the fact that most of the trash will always stay in the urban centers because small town NZ is too far away from anything when you cant afford gas.

[Edbear]

Small town NZ is where its at IMHO, I grew up in a small town and now live in Newton, central Dorkland. the whole city is going to shit I reckon.

Im getting out as soon as I can!

You don't have to go far...

hah, back before wattle downs had houses (well, it had about 5), my mates and I used to flog the olds car around the subdivision, using the section markers as slalom pegs... then go up to the park by the poo ponds and do high speed handbrake donuts.. then hide from the cops..

Wattle downs is ok.. fixed a few computers out there for rich people problem is, there is only one way in or out..

[Akzle]

problem is, there is only one way in or out..

i always aim to live places like this. come the revolution, i only have to dynamite two bridges and i have a very defensible piece of land...
of course, that works the other way too...

in this case, there is only one road, and no bridges.. but I guess you could employ the local red bandana kids to police it for you

[nodrog:Me]

What are you complaining about? People pay good money to holiday in Fiji.

It's a good thing we got motorbikes to go riding out to the nicer places then! Of course, the places that end up with hordes of filthy biker scum probably have the same attitude towards us lousing up their backyard!
