Do my legs qualify?

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.

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

Guys in skirts are verrrry sexy

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.

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

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

D-port homeboys represent, word, keepin' it real in the mean streets of the hood!

(I don't go out at night around here; you just never know when you'll run into a roving pack of little old ladies, fresh from their knitting circle and itching for trouble.)

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.

I knew a Scotsman link below.

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.

Yip, you qualify.

**007XX** · 23rd April 2008, 10:32

Weeeellll...I wasn't born here, but I got some Kiwi into me (or rather I get some on a regular basis

)
*Sorry, of poor taste I know, but I just had to...

*

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

After years of teasing, I'm over it, but the scars run deep Man...

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.

I shall henceforth see you in my minds eye as a naughty Porcelain princess from exotic lands. And I shall take your,get some kiwi into me on a regular basis,to mean your a large consumer of kiwifruit.Not an avid fan of sminky pinky,for it would surley spoil my daydream.

Love up whitey. x

Well, Kiwifruit is a nice fellow, but I'm more into 007XY personally...

And yes, of course I am still a virgin
