| 885192 | 2010-05-16 02:20:00 | The whinging kippers are lucky they keep their englander passports so they can go home if they dont like it, we are stuck here. Seemed right to me but I have only been here 54 years |

And it's nice NZ got some positive comments, better than being slagged. Exactly! Spend a couple of years or more in Europe and you'll come home singing the Fred Dagg anthem 'You don't know how lucky you are Trev' at the top of your voice! When you realize that he is seeing NZ from an English viewpoint, you can see why he would be so impressed. Sure, NZ isn't perfect, but it's a lot closer than from where he normally sits! |

Have some pride and shout our praises loudly. |

| 885197 | 2010-05-16 05:56:00 | Anyone actually lived in another country that isn't AUstralia? Yes, apart from OZ: USA, UK, and Japan - a total of 25 years, my work taking me to India, Iran and Eastern bloc countries. And I still think the article is unmitigated c..., a pathetic standard of journalism, compiled after reading travel magazine garbage, then stringing perceived gems of literary cliches together to make what the author hopes is compulsive descriptive reading. This type of journalism comes out of the same stables that motoring magazines, art critics, film critics et al write for. Yes, 25 years in other parts of the world make me really appreciate NZ, and I'd be one of its staunchest supporters. But we still don't need drivel like this article written about us. (Bah, humbug) ;) |
