But it doesn't matter what form of transport I take, I always fucking hate cyclists.

Like drivers, cyclists come in good & bad. I'm good, I always follow the rules of the road as if I was a motorist and don't take chances. Too many idiots go around not wearing a helmet, not riding properly, going through red lights. It's all wrong & they deserve to be run over.


PS. Stu

Fucking hell.

Some thieving bastards stole my motorcycle last night while it was chained to its usual lamp post.

Oh, good you're here.

I found out I can't understand New Zealand English and I'd like to solve this problem. Can you recommend some Kiwi films/TV shows/radio programmes? I like drama when it comes to cinema and comedy/docos on the telly.

By the way, I really don't like "Back to the Y" and "Bro'town".

You should definitely watch "Brain Dead". Best Kiwi film I've ever seen. And directed by Peter Jackson!

I hardly ever watch TV man, NZ TV usually sucks arse but these shows are good imo:

• Moon TV


• Outrageous Fortune


• Pulp Sport

• Kaikohe Demolition


• Actually, I think there is one on the Aramoana murder rampage, but can't think of the name

• Goodbye Pork Pie


• Bad Taste


• Heavenly Creatures


• Boy


• Whale Rider


• Once Were Warriors lol


• The Fastest Indian kinda

Bad Taste is awesome too, good call

Thanks, gonna check them out!

It's funny how I can understand Australian English just fine, but there's something about "fush and chups" that makes my head spin

Haha!

Wait, isn't it supposed to sound like "sucks"? If "fish -> fush", "chips -> chups", then "six -> sux", no?

Originally posted by Fledz Ouch, sad to hear. In Sydney we do it more extreme though, we've actually repaved the entire CBD with new bike lanes where no one knows who has right of way, the bikes run reds, and cars clean them up like flies. Fail government is fail.

In combination with Sydney drivers being vile tempered, impatient and generally terrible at driving a motor vehicle. If you come to Sydney on your bicycle, they will kill you.

Yes. It's pretty good going really, We've had stuff that quick before from my dads' cousin. Funny how sometimes it takes that long to get something from the other end of the country too

That is hilarious

Lira, do you really have trouble understanding them? I think it's an easier accent to discern than some parts of England and the UK (I'm talking about the Scottish, fuck that's a tough one)

On a slightly unrelated-related note, I really enjoy this push by the aviation industry to make their safety videos more interesting to watch. Alitalia has a pretty neat one that looks like cell-shaded animation.

haha, had to do a double take on that vid before I worked it out. Really well done body paint.
NZ English isn't too bad Lira, theres not the massive amounts of endemic slang to it, so you just have to pick through the thick accent

Just watch Flight Of The Conchords, you'll be aight

Oohhhhh no no no, the Scots aren't the worst. It's the Geordies that are impossible to talk to. They speak 20 words a second, and ALL of it is slang.

They always look really stoked while they say it though - It's like they want you to understand, but they kind of know there's no hope.

I can understand the people in that video quite well, and I believe that when I do fail to get something, it's because I'm not used to it. However, this advert is almost in an alien language to me:



What the hell is this kid going to do for the weekend?! Why did they mock the Aussie kid? Despite the few words I can recognise, I refuse to believe this is English. I refudiate it!

The hardest accents to understand are

Scouse. I understand spanish better than scouse. It's kinda like flemish. nobody knows what they're saying & nobody cares.
Welsh (because they speak welsh sometimes too and are very rude to 'foreigners')
Geordie & Brummie. As Stu said, the geordies have their own slang & the brummies too, known as yam, it's disgusting on the ears and indecipherable.
Glasgow. Esp in kids, trying to understand them when you meet them on holiday is awful, because the higher the tone of the voice, the harder it is to understand in this particular one.
