I noticed us new zealanders are somewhat outnumbered on the forum So I wanted to know what the rest of the world thinks about our little corner of the world. Ive heard alot of storys from overseas of people thinking we're a state of australia or that we all own sheep
Which we then shag, but I wanted to see if any of them were true

I voted for rugby, because I play rugby.

That said, I don't think you're out-numbered so much as over-represented. New Zealand isn't very big, and you seem to have a good number of residents on the board.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

No option for "a fence made of toothbrushes"?

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Sheep, first and foremost.
Then shagging.

But If I were to be serious for a second (utterly impossible) I would say that NZ is AWESOME. But you realise I can't actually say this out loud right?

...oh, wait...

There is so much NZ is known for:

Producing a truely amazing talent pool of actors and musicians, who are promptly stolen/claimed by Australia. Includes Sam Neill, Russell Crowe, Neil and Tim Finn (crowded house/split endz) - it also unfortunately includes Richard Wilkins (the idiot who pronounced Jeff Golblum dead after reading someones 'twitter' http://www.crikey.com.au/2009/06/26/and-the-wankley-goes-to-richard-wilkins/)

- An unfortunate reputation for coming to australia to live off the social security system:

There's a new Zealand? What was wrong with the old Zealand?

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Old Zealand is in Holland.

I associate it with rugby playing sheep and hobbits.
(There's a comma supposed to go in there someplace ... )

I've been over a couple of times (I've got a cousin who lives in Wanganui - North Is, about an hour and a bit from Windy Wellington.).


I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I chose 'what?' because while these things can be associated with New Zealand they aren't the first things that come to mind.

Hey, do you guys still get new Footrot Flats comics over there? I haven't found any issues beyond #22.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Has anyone watched Black Sheep? Yeah, that's an average weekend in New Zealand, with the killer sheep and everything.

Oh, and the Maori are awesome. I went to Rotarua once, a Maori village that's built around hot pools and serves as a tourist attraction. And man, the place reeks of sulphur. I mean, the smell is so bad I tied my hot, sweaty sock around my nose to lessen it. Ever smelt sulphur? It's like rotten eggs, only it's everywhere at once.
