Kiwi - GKPE - General Ramblings (4)

[weka2000]

and tony its happened on more than one occasion ;) (3 some that is)

Does your wife know :lol:

[S-S]

LOL it WAS just his wife - he was drunk :lol:

[tag141]

Infact a degree is not even needed to be honest. If you have the experience.

Employers will always pick a person with experience over a degree. Hell the guys at Honda saw my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Film, television and Media studies and Sociology major and they thought, hell that has got nothing to do with Honda.

Ummmm. Can you get a job as a solicitor because you defended yourself in court? Can you get a job as a doctor because you stuck a plaster on a cut? If you have a general degree (geography, history, psycology) then who cares unless you're going for a teaching post. Try getting a job in my occupation without a degree - no chance, not even with 30 years experience. What does a art degree have to do with selling cars?

Amazing how that eraser trick.

Ain't no trick. It simply removes grease, grime and oxidation from the contacts. You can use 20 grit wet and dry if you want?

i am quite the opposite in fact.. i always tend to give people the benefit of doubt until i meet them - then i think they are a feckwit - i tell them.. on...

He bloody does you know.

please feel to ignore me - I will say this thou Matt - My life experience is quite considerable in comparison to yours - I have extensively traveled the world - i have 2 kids - 4 brothers and 1 sister - Working in a number of roles including professional sport. Gone to Uni - broken my neck and back - had / have depression - taken untold amounts of drugs - had sex - got more than one job - been arrested - had a bar fight or two - lost a loved one - had more than one girlfriend - had a threesome - been shot at - and had a bomb go off near me - and pretty much enjoy life now...

Bloody hell, stay away from Shrimper.;)

Had a threesome

You and two other guys:shock:

[S-S]

Bloody hell, stay away from Shrimper.;)

you forgot to highlight professional sport and been shot at

Not all UK men, just some. I have adapted the routine to include the trcik where I click my fingers from three feet away and candles light themselves. I can also wink and girls clothes fall off, it's just a shame I have a nervous twitch, visits to the old folk's home are a very unpleasant thing. :(

Nice Wazza! How'd u get them sun rays/light rays (picture 1) exposed? have tried my self at attempting this with no luck - most of the time its too late for me to take another shot to correct the first one :P

[Wazza]

Thanks guys
#1 was with a ND8 grad filter - straight out of camera
(showed David/DiscoLizard that one, said he couldn't believe the 1D kept the exposure under control)

I agree on the saturation, :lol: it was just the process that went through converting them, and never softened it down a bit. Time for bed.

[weka2000]

NZ males dont boast at their skills with the ladys. Why do you think so many NZ woman have such big smiles :p

well having cleared my desk up today i discovered that 8 in-trays isn't enough, so i went off and got myself 4 more. now i have a tray mountain under my shelf, starting to feel a little bit surrounded - but at least ive got enough room now

[Sancho]

So am I the only 100% KIWI here. The rest are imports or bitsas. Figures :lol:

Naw, kiwi born and bred here.

[scotttnz]

Hmmmmm......interesting day in here today......

All I will say is that being young doesn't necisarily mean lacking in experience. By the time I was Matts age I had had lots of jobs, sex (no threesomes though :rolleyes:), depression, open heart surgery, and had met the girl I wanted to marry (and I'm glad to say I am still happily married to her!)

Having a wife, kids, mortgage and everything else that goes with it sure changes your perspective though.

Everyone is different, with different experiences and view points. It took me a long time to accept that, and acknowledge that what is right for me may not be right for someone else. And the flipside of that is that just because someone expresses an opinion, doesn't mean that I have to except it.

I shall get off my soap box now.

PEACE!

[weka2000]

the other one moved her children to nz from england by herself and carved out a life for us all here

[theflyingkiwi]

I know that on my fathers side the name cuthbert is traced back to royalty. but we are going back a couple of hundred years here.

As for the remark that you have to Maori to be 100% kiwi is just plan stupid.

that wasnt the intent of the remark.
the remark was to point out that if being born here isn't enough to make you a 100% kiwi, then no one is free from the stamp of "import" because it calls ancestry into account
(i personally think being born here IS enough...)

[Nzshrimper]

that wasnt the remark.

The beauty of visiting this thread is I don't understand half of the colloquialisms you guys use. Even though I don't know the precise definitions of many of the terms you've been using recently, I'm astute enough to know that we're not enjoying our normal dosage of warm fuzzies in here today.

I would ask that you take one of the following actions:
1. Stop the bickering, or--
2. Take it ourdoors (i.e. do your squabbling by PM and spare the rest of us the side show.)

Really, guys, this is very unbecoming. I will clean this up if I have to, but I think you'll all be less pleased with that outcome than if you do it yourself.

The beauty of visiting this thread is I don't understand half of the colloquialisms you guys use. Even though I don't know the precise definitions of many of the terms you've been using recently, I'm astute enough to know that we're not enjoying our normal dosage of warm fuzzies in here today.

I would ask that you take one of the following actions:
1. Stop the bickering, or--
2. Take it ourdoors (i.e. do your squabbling by PM and spare the rest of us the side show.)

Really, guys, this is very unbecoming. I will clean this up if I have to, but I think you'll all be less pleased with that outcome than if you do it yourself.Ahh haa, he visited, its so weird, I deliberately "mentioned" Belmondo's name this morning, and he arrives :D. I just LOVE that avitar.

are YOU kidding? your avatar alone scares us, never mind your super powers... ;-)See, Super Powers, he is scarey!

So am I the only 100% KIWI here. The rest are imports or bitsas. Figures :lol:
bollix - go back far enough & every N.Z. person's heritage was from another country, just some are more recent than others. There was no indigenous. Most arrived here by the boatload. Some paddled, some sailed, some in economy class.
And apparently I fell down a flight of stairs on the Southern Cross which may or may not explain things.... [hey, I was only 2 at the time!]

Right, well after going on two months of writing letters and emails in between everything else I've just sent going on fifty emails home to individuals trying to say 'thanks' to them all for everything they've done for us over the years. It's almosy anti-climactic after so long writing them, but there's a huge warm fuzzy glow inside.

It is kinda nice sometimes just to express yourself and tell people they rock. :D

ok so i was drawn into a game and i still suck, all these years later
then i searched asteroids and i still suck at that too

Hehe - I used to love that game, but it freaked me out into panic mode when the little space ships got so close to my barricades!

Actually you, Bruce and John T got one a long while back when I first started writing them for everything the three of you did to welcome us into NZ. ;)

[S-S]

yeah you know i was watching a show years ago about a guy who lost both his legs and now really appreciates his life. i was thinking what a tragedy that no one realises these things until after suffering a horrible misfortune, and what a shame there isnt a way to get ppl to realise what life is all about WITHOUT having to go through bad stuff...

then the light slowly dawned... there IS a way - i could learn that same lesson from hearing about HIS experience! without having to have my OWN legs cut off!

life is a lot more... sparkly after realising that - even bad times there's still things to appreciate

How do dead folk say nice things?

Oh wait, I understand now. People do say nice things, Tony. Just more often than not, to other folks, not to the person the nice things are about :)

You're right though, I kind word, a smile (even when on the phone to someone), a simple wave - all those things go a long way in making others days brighter. And, hopefully, they pay that deed forward.

[klippe]

38 Degrees in Melbourne today. I hope it was raining in Auckland.

40 expected for tomorrow. F1 cars on track at 10am Aussie time. Much fun in the sun.

Picked up an Aussie Media pass (which unfortunately does not allow F1 access - or track access). A step in the right direction, given that I was told it was 'impossible' to even get one of those. More to come on this later in the year.....

Hoping to get at least some F1 shots, although will only have my crappy 90-300 lense available for the long range stuff, so it's going to be tough.

Some big lenses being let through the gates this year (in the hands of 'ordinary' spectators) such as 400mm L series lenses (300 is the limit for a spectator - depends on who you get at the gate).

Track action pretty dead today, speed comparison (F1, Supercar, Road car) not as close as it could have been. V8 won by a small margin but the F1 car was around 4 seconds behind. Will be closer tomorrow.

Kiss are playing Sunday night, been all over the media (almost as much as the GP itself), really looking forward to that.

They have Honeypuffs over here but they are called "Honey Wheets". Bizarre these Aussies.

Peace out my homeys.

lol on facebook, theres a quiz called "have you ever" where you get to answer all kinds of weird questions about what you've done in the past

one of them reads like this:

"Have you ever spoken a spell from Harry Potter out loud, even though you knew it wouldn't work?"

LMAO - who DOES that??

I had a similar moment a few years back, I had a few FULL ON things happen to me personally and a few close friends die in a short space of time and just realised life is way too short. Happiness and balance is the key in life. I used to be quite ambitious and work lots, from that day on my career went downhill at about the same steady rate my personal happiness went uphill LOL. I ended a 8 year relationship i was in purely because it was comfortable, changed careers well abondoned my career, I don't have one anymore, i just have a job LOL and pretty much turned my life upside down. Never been happier. It was a REALLY hard and scary thing to do and I was very alone and a bit depressed and scared to death at first, but it got better very quickly.

I now have a good balanced lifestyle, I get 3 day weekends, own a lovely house in a very peaceful area, have a beautiful Fiance and the future looks pretty damn bright most of the time. I still forget to appreciate every day, but certainly do alot more than I ever used to.

My partner at the time couldn't understand why I was leaving her, but a year later thanked me. We had no real future together.

jeepers, LOL where did all that come from :)

Holy Sh.t.. too much chat today! Taken me till now to catch up.

So am I the only 100% KIWI here. The rest are imports or bitsas. Figures :lol:
I said earlier.. my grandparents grandparents on both sides came to New Zealand.
I messed up the purity by moving to Europe & Marrying an Egyptian born Austrian who lives in Germany.

There is no 100% Maori be lucky to find a 1/4. Far as im concerned 4th generation make me 100% New Zealander
I haven't many with a long NZ herritage. Probably because all the travellers I met had UK or European passports so they could easily stay & work. I had to do it the hard way.

At this point I'm picturing a starving weka in a open blue robe being stuck up on a cross with Selleys No More Nails shouting incoherent political ramblings.

That is hilarious!! :lol:

I can still hear the funky melody that it plays.

I watched the film "The 6th sense" with Bruce Willis last night. There the dead people found a way.

Hot dang, Sancho. Good for you. what you did is more courageous than most anyone would ever have the gut's to do.

I currently have a friend in crisis, whom I may have mentioned before is sucking the very life out of me for want of help. But ultimately isn't helping himself. And, probably as a very cruel tactic (I've already tried everything else), I have had to get hard on him. Let him know that what he is going through doesn't make him special, and that others go through far worse. He has threatened his life, but in this instance I have purely mentioned that he's just too damn selfish and cowardice if that's what he is thinking (no matter what anyone says, it's never really that bad.. and for this dude, it's not). In past instances, that sort of threat from people sucked me in severely. I now realise, is emotional blackmail. So, not anymore.... bad attention is better than no attention to some, I guess.

I don't really know where my train of thought went there.. just basically, things can change if you have the will and the determination to do so.

[iKirst]
