Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Well er ok.
I'm a Kiwi (NZ) now living in Australia the past 14 years, and when I see some NZ tv programs the accent often makes me cringe. But as I'm from Cristchurch the accent from my hometown could be alot milder down there than the more 'sux for 6' oriented Aucklanders. Edited by Ralph2k6 2019-05-01

SHE: "Oh, I love to hear you talk!"
ME: "Then, beautiful, you're every man's dream woman."
SHE: "MORE!"

Nah.....I don't think that line will work either.

yeah it's a conundrum... men aren't much into talking and she loves it... it has to be the first ever recorded incompatibility between the sexes!!

In all honesty, I've always liked the valley-girl accent - but I am a strange, strange man....
