If we just take away KFC, McD's and BK we can starve them out. Cruel, I know...but necessary.

KFC and Carl's Jr will do the trick (if you take them away)

My wife and I were married in Manurewa in the park behind the library.
That was in 1979, Weymouth was more a boat ramp than anything else and Clendon was still paddocks that belonged to the cocky who's old farm house we were renting at the time.
Now days I wind up the windows an lock the doors if I have to drive through the place in my truck.
I just look at it like everybody has to live somewhere and at lest if the less fortunate are stuck in Rewa",,,their not out my way.

I've lived here for 8 years.. moved here from east auckland.. to be honest, I prefer weymouth. no toffee nose shits telling me what to do.

Although, I am usually struck by the quality of the women elsewhere..

Picked up wife's sister and hubby from airport last night - came back from visit to London. Her husband kept saying how lucky we are to be living in New Zealand where the air and environment is cleaner, the people friendlier and life was relaxed. (Mind you, he is talking about London in the middle of winter.)

He said the city was intolerant of those who walked slow (bumped and tsk-ed those walking slower than general pace of foot traffic), i.e. tourists, so everyone walked very fast and wouldn't stop to talk and help with directions. Maybe it's the biting cold?

Food was expensive and only the tube's efficiency and architecture were London's saving graces. Streets and the tube were filthy, and the city was filled with Iranians, Pakistanis, Indians, Russians, Germans, Romanians, Poles, Chinese, etc.

"New Zealand's the greatest place to be in!" he said.
