Who's the guy on NW Motorway (Auckland)

[ManDownUnder]

Follow me on this one...

Riding into town in the morning from out west... about 1200 meters before you hit the Newton Road off ramp there is a footpath that sweeps down out of the scrubby looking bushes (just behind some of the work they're doing on the verge at the mo)

At the lowest point on that footpath, (behind the fencing) there is a guy there some mornings, just looking out over traffic. I've seen him there as early as 7am, and as late as *ahem* 9:00am... This morning he has a box of Lion Red to keep him company.

Just stands there looking either down the MW or across it.

Anyoine else seen him - any ideas who he is? I'd like to actually talk to him and find out more about him... seems nice enough at 50kph...

Perhaps he's trying to pluck up enough dutch courage to be road kill.

Hope not - he looks like he'd make a hell of a mess (of the car).

Maybe if you throw him some peanuts you can strike up a conversation

Bit early for me though... a beer at 7:00am isn't really my style...

I'm more the 10:00am type myself.

Oh him - that's Ernie.

Or not.

I've heard the tail.. there used to be a man who lived near by, just over the other side actually, just before the motorway was built. His house is still there, almost oposite that point. He went out walking his dog one day around 6.30am, when he died of a fatal massive heart attack about 7. He struggled to get home, but in the bush, he fell and lie for help for 2 or 3 hours.

His dog took off in search for help, but only ended up shagging the bitch down the road before the pound picked him up. Unfortunately, the pound van driver didn't speak much 'dog', and failed to realise the barking was for his fallen master.

The help never came. He still waits, trying to get home. But now the motorway is there, it's impossible for him to cross. So he just stands there and waits..
The dog was released on bail, and hasn't been seen since. Some say he still plays in the park near by.. others say they see him run amock on the NW motorway, looking for his master..

It's a myth surely... Isn't that based on the story of you with you packet of marbles - y'know... the day you lost them?

Nice one - like it!

Exactly.


Timewarp zone:
There's this hermit guy on the coast that walks around his sheep paddock with a huge knife in his hands.
He's been building his house for over 12yrs. Nothing obvious has changed in the past 10yrs except 5yrs ago he put up an untouched A-frame clothes airier with clothes but that's the only new news. Doesn't even own any transport. He's still alive. Saw him a few months back. Haven't been game enough to stop.
