455491 2006-05-17 05:27:00 Surprised? I'd be depressed if I lived in Auckland. david1000 (7485)
455492 2006-05-17 05:35:00 Who cares what Google thinks?

Maybe whoever said it, should live here in Auckland, and find out why.

455494 2006-05-17 07:34:00 I am curious to know how Google knows those people are from Auckland,
I have never seen a site that can tell where you are from inside a country,
they can tell me im from NZ and my ip address, (ip to country database) but nowhere have i seen any site with the ability to tell me where in NZ I am citywise

455497 2006-05-17 08:25:00 Couldnt be any further from the truth, Aucklanders are know for thinking theirs nothing further than the bombay hills maybe thats why they are depressed they need to explore further than those hills and they will find that their is life beyond them their hills.

You're located in

QUEENSLAND,
BRISBANE

Your latitude/longitude is
-27.5° LATITUDE and 153.017° LONGITUDE

455499 2006-05-17 08:57:00 Correct? Incorrect! Whilst rugby supporters may be depressed about the performance of the Blues, it doesn't mean the majority of non-rugby supporting Aucklanders are depressed. The rest of Auckland is quite simply researching depression to understand the mental health of the rest of the country, considering most Aucklanders could sell their property and buy anywhere between 2 and 10 properties anywhere else within NZ! Take that! :D andrew93 (249)
