1138200 2010-09-19 01:12:00 I've only been there once and it didn't seem all that bad. Just another city, but those who live there must like it and they probably don't have to fight traffic jams getting to and from work.
There are worse places.

1138202 2010-09-19 01:47:00 Some people are entranced with the warmth and vibrancy of P.N. - admittedly their last stop was Wellington R2x1 (4628)

Yes there is:

"John Cleese ..... famously declared after a visit in 2006: "If you ever want to kill yourself but lack the courage, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick."

It was funny.

1138206 2010-09-19 09:34:00 Three of the things aren't in Palmy and another is the city tip. Then they wonder why people think the place is dull. Even Wanganui is more exciting, though admittedly only by a whisker.

Wanganui is heaps better than PN.

I'd rather live in Masterton than PN, really. At least we are in the Wairarapa, have the Rimutaka road close by to buzz up and down and Welly is not that far away. PN is the epitome of boring. Except for 3 decent motorcycle shops there is nothing worthwhile... although the people there are friendly which is a surprise as you think they'd be bonkers living there.

1138207 2010-09-19 20:27:00 I believe John Cleese, if he says the place sux it does.
Foxton Beach isnt really near Parmy North so it should be scratched from list.
