So really, even more people like the Poms. Not good, not good at all (If you're Australian :p)

The Mecca for loaded American tourists who need something to do.

Amen, it's why Im goin!!1 :D

The Mecca for loaded American tourists who need something to do.

That's pretty much true. I read an article in the LA Times the other day about how a lot of rich Californian's are buying up property like crazy in New Zealand. Apparently you guys are pissed about it too. Ever since Lord of the Rings...............

I welcome them, more rich people= more nice cars (Even though there's plenty already)

Typical of the fair amount of dipshits over there.

They seem to think New Zealanders are still bougans like Peter Jackson (I don't care how much of a genius he is, he's still a bougan) who walk around in singlets and bare feet, drink cheap camels piss for beer and know each other like they are good friends and they think the Yank's are going to take that away- NEWSFLASH- they didn't, New Zealand took that away, long ago.

The reality is that it's a country full of hypocrites who live in $600,000 houses, drive $80,000 BMW's and turn thier noses up at each other on the way to thier job at *Insert accounting/law firm here.*

Well Auckland is any way the rest of the country is pretty down to Earth.

Just stay away from the South Island (they're the animal lovers that give our country a bad name) and Auckland, and you'll be fine.

Belive it or not, but 600k for a house in Sydney is a give away.

The house next door to mine is a dump and sold for 550k

Spocken like a true rich brat, let me guess your parents own a house in remuera or similar suburb, a beach house somewhere on the coromandal and you and Moss both went to a Private school? St Kents? or Kings? or prehaps you were really unlucky and went to Grammer?


What you have described makes up only about 5% of the population, we are not a nation of lawyers and accountants.
The wankers and hypocrites in thier half million dollar homes are the minority, they just don't know it.

The average wage in NZ is only NZ$38,000 a year, and most people don't have university degree's and don't wear a suit to work or drive a company car.




Fortunatly Jimmy I know you know better and your smarter than that.

Feeling a little homesich are you?

St Heliers :o

a beach house somewhere on the coromandal
Kuratau (We bought it for like $30,000)- but I will admit to having owned a few beach properties that I bought while the property market was in a slump in the 90's

and you and Moss both went to a Private school? St Kents? or Kings? or prehaps you were really unlucky and went to Grammer? HELL NO! As a former student of Sacred Heart College I refuse to be associated with any of the above shit holes.


What you have described makes up only about 5% of the population, we are not a nation of lawyers and accountants, but like many upper middle class Kiwis thats the only part of NZ you've ever seen.

Try about 10-15% The types of people I have described almost entirely fill up Auckland City, the Eastern Bays (of Auckland), the North Shore, the farther East parts of Auckland (Bucklands beach, Howick, Botany Downs)- well actually, pretty much all of the working class got pushed out to the South or the West and in Wellington it's almost entirely made up of them (If it weren't for the Dodgy old Hutt....). Whatever way you look at it they were growing in numbers when I left and I can only imagine it'll continue to grow..... Maybe the changing NZ is for the better, I don't know and won't for at least another 5 years, but yes I do love the country in spite of it's flaws and I will be back.


But I did watch the town I grew up in going from a working-class everyone knows everyone type place, grow into Wellington's Mission Bay, that's kind of what started my dislike for the changes.

The average wage in NZ is only NZ$38,000 a year, and most people don't have university degree's and don't wear a suit to work or drive a company car. that's income; thier assets would be much larger (assuming they own a house), as growth for Demand in New Zealand property continues. That's why I'm not coming back any time soon, I'm waiting for the property market to cave in.




Fortunatly Jimmy I know you know better and your smarter than that.
I just don't like to see a Kiwi who does know better saying bad things about our little country.

Feeling a little homesich are you?

Sort of ;) But really, if you want to experience what New Zealand once was all about, go to the South of Italy, the people are kind ofthe types you imagine when someone says "rural New Zealand" Except they don't wear gumboots. :D

melbourne truly is the place to be!!!!

I'd say Moppie has a point (Well as good of a point as someone from Auckland Uni can have :naughty: ) I'll admit that my New Zealand is different than many, I've never been to the South Island (aside from Picton) and have only ever lived in the "better" parts of Auckland (I put the inverted Commas there because it's only better in terms of living standards, otherwise it's a dead shit hole) and currently live in Wellington (City with highest average Incomes in the country), I've never seen how much other of the country lives, but I still don't think many of us live up to our rural hard-bastard stereotypes, most of the country lives in a center of more than 100,000 people.

Iv been quite lucky, I grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone else, yet may parents own that $600,000 house, although only 1km down the road at the other end of the town poperty values when I was growing up where 1/6th of that. I went to a primary school where peoples parents where everything from lawyers to solo mothers on a benifit, and then I went to St Kents :o where everyone was confused that my mother worked a full time job and couldn't understand how my father didn't own his own bussiness (at the time) and wasnt a lawyer or an accountant or Doctor or an airline pilot.
But while there I worked in an engineering work shop and at a cafe where the average person working with me never finnished 7th form, and many didnt even make past 5th form.
Iv also seen much of this country, and stayed in most small towns than many kiwis have even seen, or even know existed.

And you only have to visit a south or west auckland shopping mall to see that the white middle class elite are becoming more and more of a minority.
I think you've actualy missed quite a lot in the past few years Jim, there have been some very major changes in the Auckland demographics.
And house prices in the developing East auckland subrubs (places that would have been farm land last time you were here) are actualy very low.

You went to St Kents??? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What you're seeing with the decreasing middle classes is the classic Capitalism. They are getting Richer either and moving to more desirable areas or getting less fortunate and moving to Australia (No really, that is a disturbing trend I noticed, as did everyone else seemingly).

hmmm.....If I remember right, the Botany Downs shopping town had just opened when I left (or was about to) They haven't developed that area FURTHER have they?

They haven't developed that area FURTHER have they?

LOL!

Developed it? And then some! Its all houses, from the shopping center right town to Manakua hieghts.
Albany is the same now, its all houses where there used to be waste land around the stadium, and up upper harbour drive.
And even mangaree is expanding both out and in towards in the inner harbour.

Funnest bit now is listening to there bloody coach moaning about how he reckons we cheat....go get a fuckin life you drop kick !!!

Why dont he front up and try and beat us on the paddock instead of playing fucked up mind games !!

Not again? Got a link to a news story of Jones moaning?

He should just stop bitching and accept he has a team that may as well be wearing Netball skirts.

Hidden behind Eddie Jones' sour post-match mood in Wellington on Saturday night came a begrudging compliment.


It was a concession the All Blacks had got much better up front and had outplayed his Wallabies where it counted at any time, but even more so in the Arctic-like, rain-laden southerly that was a constant at Westpac Stadium - in the forwards.

Take away Jones' complaints about illegal All Blacks tactics at the breakdowns and his general grumpiness at the 16-7 loss, and even he had to concede the real reason was an exposure of his side's set-piece deficiencies. It was further evidence the All Blacks selectors have got the balance and the fundamentals in the pack right this year.

Even without Keith Robinson and Richie McCaw - and with Jono Gibbes invalided out with a painful rib injury early in the second spell that he is apparently recovering quickly from - the All Blacks' front eight dominated their Australian counterparts and Justin Marshall again helped the forward momentum by prising open their fringe defence. It exposed some weaknesses in the Wallabies pack that they have been very good at papering over in the past.

In those conditions and with the improvements in the New Zealand scrum, lineout and breakdown cleanout basics that have been noticeable this year, there was no hiding for those in green and gold, and Waikato's workaholic flanker Marty Holah was able to lead the charge in forcing the normally unflappable Stephen Larkham into errors. Jones said the All Blacks had shown consistent forward improvement in their games this year, particularly in terms of lineout defensive tactics and scrummaging power, saying Kees Meeuws had made a big difference to the latter since coming in at loose-head prop.

He refused to lay any blame at the feet of his backs, including Larkham, saying the conditions made it a set-piece contest and they had lost it.

That was it in a nutshell.

Now the real test of this All Blacks team that have already retained the Bledisloe Cup for another year will be the Springboks, who look a stronger pack than the Wallabies, at Jade Stadium this Saturday.

Then it will be an even more intriguing mission in the return match against the Aussies in Sydney on August 7. Jones put a lot of store by his team's ability to bounce back, particularly in the dry conditions he expects back in his own country, pointing out they had only lost by nine points with 20 per cent possession.

Can the All Blacks continue their forward dominance and in better conditions, then use that base to execute a game plan that can shut Australia out a second time?

We have lost tactically to the Australians before, including last year's World Cup semifinal - the All Blacks' only loss in their last 19 games - but it is easier to exert your choice of tactics if you are dominating the contest for the ball.

Lock Chris Jack bemoaned the fact the All Blacks' backs could not be brought into play more on Saturday because of the conditions but let's hope we don't go too much the other way when we do get another dry, hard track. Against South Africa we do have a backline advantage; against Australia that edge is in the forwards.

God this thread got boring quickly. :gives:

God this thread got boring quickly. :gives:
Dont bother reading it then ....ooops, thats right, your a Aussie :p :p

God this thread got boring quickly. :gives:
Then if it's boring, don't waste bandwidth by pointing it out, some people happen to like discussing Rugby and the demographics in Auckland.

Yeah, boring kiwis. :rolleyes:

Yeah, boring kiwis. :rolleyes:
Grow up, you're supposed to be a mod, set an example.

I thought that posting useless shit like that was against the guidelines.


Warren- fucking Jones, needs to see that ugby is more than just a game of backs.

Example set. Closed. Still :rolleyes:.
