Well - that fucks the holiday

[Tank]

Seriously, put your piggies in the hands of a professional, you just can't stay pissed off when your feet look so pretty, I try and wear sandals (preferably newly purchased cute ones) so I can glance down and relive that pretty feet glow every few minutes. See, easy!

I'll try but since I got fat and cannot bite my toenails - they have gone to shit

I did it for ya

Bummer about your trip Tank. I hope you get a nice holiday soon

Tank, I think you made the right choice. No use going on the trip if you were not in the right frame of mind to enjoy it.


Am planning my first jaunt down to the South Island next Summer, more than welcome come along. (No pommie gits will be along, as I don't know any..) Hoping to get a small grp together to enjoy the South Island....

Well F U too, You do know a pommie GIT!

Bloody Kiwi's every time the AB's lose? OMG I hear nothing but grizzle and a week of constant whinging.........

And for the information of you blardy colonials ...... POHM stands for Prisoner of His Majesty...... The Pom's are actualy the Aussie's.

Typical bloody Pom - dosnt even know what Pom stands for.

Thanks Wikipedia.

According to British Naval records the term "Pommie" came about from the red "pom-pon" on the top of the hats of British sailors who were involved in the transfer of prisoners to the Colonies.

It was used as a derogatory term, but has since become a generalised term for English people. The term pommy or pom is commonly used by speakers of Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English and Afrikaans.

edit - and to add more:

A false etymology (or "backronym") common in both Australia and New Zealand is that 'Pom' originated as an acronym for "prisoner of (his/her) majesty" or "prisoner of mother England". Although many of the first British settlers in Australia were convicts sentenced to transportation to Australia, there is no evidence for this. Some proponents of this theory claim that upon arrival in the country they would be given a uniform with "POHM" or "POME" emblazoned on the back, which apparently stood for Prisoners Of Her Majesty but there are no images or examples of these uniforms.In another variant, it is used to mean 'Product of Mother England'.

Use the car as a carrier of all your crap, bags, skidmarked undies, whatever. Quite handy really...

That's the most sensible thing you've ever said.

The car could be used to carry all sorts of extraneous crap, heaps of booze, hookers, everything you can think of that you'd never fit on your bike (hookers excepted). I'd take P's advice on this one and milk the living crap out of it. When the annoying Pom arrives in his rental car, be ready; have what you need on your bikes and have a big pile of crap in the driveway. Give him a map. Say, "this is where we're going, see you there, bring all this".

Then grab a handful and roar off. If he follows you have all your luxury items, if not, you have what you need!

Brill.

Or your sister.

Popped down to the chemist - they were all sold out.

Nah mate, they're just on the top shelf. You have to look UP to see them

Thought of that - but guys booked on same ferry - and I believe the same accomodation for very night. So hes going to be following all the time anyways.

Not a problem. He takes your spot on the ferry, accommodation, etc. You make a new plan - one where you ride from Auckland to at least Picton on day 1.

I was meeting up with Jantar and Mikkel when down there - so yeah - I might just look at changing my dates and doing it solo (hell might just take a tent) - disapointing - having a mate on the trip was a real bonus - but hey - you roll with the punches.

You just get your sorry arse down here mate. We'll make sure to look after you! On the bright side - I did advice you change your iteniary

Just re-read the thread, - and I do sound like a whiney bitch.

Yep, you sound a bit like one of our good mutual friends.

There. Decision made. Case closed. All good.

Your choice to make. I just think you should have put your foot down a bit earlier (e.g. when he started thinking about hauling his offspring along on the mates' trip).

Very sorry to hear it mate. I hope you'll kick your brain right into gear and get another roadtrip sorted ASAP. I the meantime I shall be keeping an eye out for a pom in an MX-5 on the 9th.
And btw - there's plenty of the South Island I haven't done on the motard yet, but I know all the good places for food and accommodation from the times I've been through in the car...

Gotta say some of you are talking like real wankers.

Tank, although its too late, my advice to you would be to tell your mate that the group as a whole had voted and that he isn't allowed to come.unless he's by himself and on a decent bike, no exceptions. You're mate gets off because he was outvoted and the pommy guy hates some pricks in NZ he's never meet nor likely to. You get your holiday and the least harm is done.
