How the fuck are they not integrated. There's your first policy.

Bus and trains are. The ferries are private (the buses are too, but wtf Auckland) and are separate.

I agree.

1. AT are required to ensure all operators are integrated in the Hop system. It will lose fairbox recovery initially, but over time it will only work out.

I'm about to eat a late dinner and watch a show, but then happy to join. I have a bottle of pinot noir calling my name.

That sounds suspiciously like a plan.

 

[Axver]

Done.

A friend pointed me towards a website that allows me to play Prince of Persia in my browser. I should mark some essays but oh dear this is a big distraction.

 

[coolian2]

Chur hoo

 

[coolian2]

Seems like Manurewa does translate to Glenfield after all

 

[Axver]

You need to translate for Brunswick.

 

[coolian2]

Hmm.

"Yay"

 

[Axver]

Since when did "chur" stop being a bastardised form of "cheers"?

 

[coolian2]

Since when did "chur" stop being a bastardised form of "cheers"?

I'd answer this but I use both.

My 86 year old dad? He gets "chur" (Often followed by "You old bugger")

My bus driver gets "Thank you"

Most anyone else gets "Cheers"

I just like to be annoying at times.

 

[coolian2]

To be fair, Kia Ora has become an all good thank you

 

[Axver]

I think I only slip into "chur" when I'm drunk and somebody brings me another drink.

You can tell I'm from a very white Kiwi small town and left New Zealand in the late nineties because there is not much Maori in my regular vocabulary. I understand much more than I use.

That said, the vegetable is kumara, and anybody who says otherwise is wrong. I have never stopped using that even if it confuses Australians, because anything else feels wrong.

 

[coolian2]

Should see my iron levels...I might be the whitest Kiwi

 

[coolian2]

I get way better at Maori when I'm pissed.

God knows what my Aboriginal Australian tattoo on my chest will become soon. It's got a Koru planned

 

[Axver]

Wait, you have a tattoo?

 

[Axver]

I'm so fucking white, ghosts look brown compared to me.

 

[coolian2]

Rebel Alliance on my left wrist, Kangaroo tracks on my chest.

 

[coolian2]

I'm so fucking white, ghosts look brown compared to me.

I'm blue. But I'm never going to beat you.

Prick.






You're awesome.

 

[coolian2]

Ok just had a rough shake.

This could be bad

 

[Axver]

Rebel Alliance on my left wrist, Kangaroo tracks on my chest.

Huh, I had no idea.

Couldn't pay me to get a tattoo. I'm honestly impressed by the decisiveness of people who can choose something they're passionate enough about to have done.

I don't think this means what I think it means.

 

[coolian2]

Fuck we just had a massive earthquake

 

[coolian2]

Sleep: NO

My Star Wars one was possibly a mistake. The kangaroo tracks and eventual Maori pattern on my chest are intentional.

 

[Axver]

I shouldn't be flippant, but you Aucklanders seem to think a 4 is a massive earthquake.

I do hope it wasn't a shock strong enough to cause damage!

If a gun were put to my head and I had to have one, I'd just fall back on a silver fern. It may seem a bit nationalistic, but I could always identify with it during sport.

6.6 magnitude near Christchurch ...

 

[Axver]

I may not be a piercings or tattoos sort of person in the slightest, but I do wish that during my undergrad/postgrad I had taken more advantage of my pale hair to dye it some cool colours. I'd actually really love to do it right now, but anything I would get would look very unprofessional at a job interview and I fucking want a postdoc/lectureship/research grant. I'm not willing to risk it by turning up with bright blue hair, no matter how much I fell in love with the shade that the lead singer of Cayetana had when I saw them a couple of months ago.

 

[Axver]

6.6 magnitude near Christchurch ...

Oh fuck what.

Not again.

 

[coolian2]

I felt it.

It's moving north. The Alpine Fault is going.....I'm actually scared.
