aotearoa, rugged individual glisten like a pearl

ten new zealand things i just don't get (to be fair and equal)
  1. why we're obsessed with rugby and think we're good at it. we last won the rugby world cup in 1987, and basically only 5 other countries play it well.
  2. john key
  3. why we're always ashamed about being good at stuff
  4. how come you can get married to someone the same sex as you but you still can't adopt kids
  5. why broadband is so ridiculously expensive compared to other countries
  6. auckland
  7. eating kina
  8. marmite
  9. tomato sauce on EVERYTHING
  10. ugg boots

This does inspire me to add New Zealand on my travel wish list.

You are good at rugby...in fact I'd say probably the best at the moment, until Australia gets its back line sorted out. Don't be ashamed :D

Jude, you and the missus should plan a trip for the World Cup next year. I can then explain the beauty of rugby and my theory of how Australia was robbed in 2003 by that English git, Johnny fucking Wilkinson!

you were outplayed in 2003 by the poms. pure and simple. on the other hand, us kiwis have been outplayed consistently since 1991. except for the bledisloe.
