If you're not afraid of heights, go up the Auckland Skytower - it has glass panels in the floor so you can look all the way down. Other than that, there isn't a lot in Auckland itself, Ponsonby isn't bad for food either if you're looking for places to eat. If you like sailing, and the weather is favourable, then you can go out on the harbour in a former America's Cup yacht.

Sightseeing, Mt Manganui is day trip distance, ditto Coromandel and Rotorua, or head north and check out what's left of the kauri forests. Russell, on the Bay of Islands, is a nice place to stop for the night if you want to do a bit of sightseeing up north.

Is that the Sky City Convention Centre? That's where I'm speaking on the 27th - Cool! I'm bringing the fisheye lens...

late post, but i'd like 2 know when the next one is on ( hunter velo tryout !! ) .... (if i can summon some fitness ( and courage :()

Send me an email, and I'll let you know where the boys hide out not.

Thanks, shall do ...

Hellloooooooooooo.........

There's even a Novocastrian lurking about.

I suspect the new Aussies might be snobbing off us closet bogans :)

Speaking of bogans, just saw the pix of Brits @ the VMAs.



what a scrubber.

Why do you hate scrubbers. Britney is excellent IMHO. Trailer park seppo ***** rool

Hmmm. Not so sure about that. She would be high class trailer park trash. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.

yep, bush pig :p

anyone see that shot of her clacker in a g-banger in the trash mags a few weeks ago?
Blah

Oi, what's going on? the page count thingie on the bottom right of this page reckons I'm on page 82 of 85 but I'm looking at the last post! </twilight zone>

...so, whose doing the 'gong ride on the 4th November?

Haha! 531 posted on the wrong forum! Not in the wrong thread, but the entirely wrong forum.

Link?

BTW, what's with the screwy page numbering? It's happening on this thread and on a couple of threads I looked at in Road Cycling - I think your database is playing silly buggers.

oh cool, a thread dedicated to us aussies....

He deleted it, but I can still read it. It was his guess about Wattsy Rules' new frame weight.

WTF is going on here Expat??? I can't get to the last page? Or am i on it (and I don't mean drugs)?

page 99 of 102. can't get past it

Ah, there ya go. The forum seems to be including all the deleted posts in the last page number calcs.

The counters need to be updated, which I think is server-intensive. When are you boys coming back?

When Jock's hammies heal up. :p;):D

What happened to Jock?

He's falling apart, becoming old and decrepit and he keeps doing his hammies.

He'll recover. He's much tougher than the rest of us.

I've always thought there was more to Uncle Jock than meets the eye.

And I got it wrong, it's his quads he keeps doing, not the hammies. Oh well, I knew it was something to do with legs. :p :p :p

Have you met him?
