    My TT to Hamilton from (40km N/E of) every evening can be between 20 mins or an hour if I feel the need including 90% twisties, fuck it's good,

    $100- a week?

    You need to mention the "minimum hourly rate" to your boss...

    But at least I can expierence roll on acceleration to 100kmh more than once a year & don't find it so exciting as to need to post it on the net, it's almost mundane in buttfuck nowhere these days actually.

    Well around my work there is at least 5 $15 million + warehouses being built. Will be heaps of new jobs. Good staff get good money as they are hard to get up here.

    Shhhh they're already eyeing up the bay, traffic already sucks in Taus and house prices are heading into orbit. Leave 'em 'enjoying the good life' in Aucks I reckon.

    Yes. I get a 20-minute blast to work, mostly on the open road with just enough traffic to make it fun ... and the occasional pop for spice ..

    and the biggest issue in the nearest town is whether to let people ride their horses in town, because they shit on the street and leave hoof prints in the berms .. (I'm serious ... ) and the front page picture on yesterday's newspaper was of kids who had grown giant pumpkins .. ya gotta love small town New Zealand ..

    It was costing me $100 a week to live somewhere it took me 2mins to walk to work from

    I guess if you took into account the running costs of my shoes, it was really $102.50 or something.

    Wrong .. I sometimes go that way - to play in the Waimana Gorge .. it's not 20 minutes from Taneatua to Whakatane - it's only 12 ks ..

    Fuck yeah, the bastards crap everywhere and leave my road frontage like a ploughed field...Dog owners have to pick up their animals crap - why don't horse riders have to do the same ?
    Next pony club that comes past is going to be told to cross the road...
