Boonoo Boonoo River, New South Wales Superthread

[Axver]

Aww you're going to make me do things during intervening years?

I know, effort is just too much sometimes.

But yes.

Bollocks.

But fair enough.

 

[coolian2]

What's my day one plans?

Assuming I don't get to start by calling a bunch of cunts, cunts?

 

[Axver]

You are permitted to call Trump a cunt.

A shit cunt, in fact.

 

[coolian2]

I was hoping for total cunt.

 

[Axver]

That too.

I had been thinking of visiting the States next year but I'm really not sure if I want to now. It could be a fascinating glimpse at American decline, if nothing else. And then I'll go to North Korea to visit another failed state.

 

[coolian2]

I just need to look at Wellington for my misery.

 

[Axver]

I actually can't tell if that's a jab at Auckland or Wellington.

 

[coolian2]

National.

It's bad when you've had to rely on the All Whites to beat New Caledonia to salvage the sporting week.

South Africa have also done us a favour today!

God, between them, The All Whites and the Phoenix we've had some unlikely saviors.

 

[Axver]

I'd be a little bloody concerned if we lost to New Caledonia!

And the All Blacks seem to be doing it easily against Italy at half-time. Nice. I'd stay up and watch the second half but sleep calls.

 

[coolian2]

In breaking news....we would always stomp Italy.

We came fucking close a few times to New Caledonia! Didn't help with the possibly (libel avoided) corrupt Tahiti referee and linesmen.

 

[coolian2]

I now own a bike. It's currently being assembled on the other side of Auckland because I'm just a bit smarter than doing it myself.

The fun part is going to be getting it here.

 

[Axver]

I am convinced you require a death wish to ride a bike in Melbourne.

Many do it, but you couldn't pay me, unless your commute is entirely on one of the better bike paths.

 

[coolian2]

I'm not. I've signed my own death warrant, in high vis and a silly helmet.

 

[coolian2]

My only positive is if the fucking ferry I have to catch goes to Bayview or Bayswater or some shit so I can make some punny Bae type of Snapchat.

 

[coolian2]

Also where the actual hell is Unsworth Heights? For that matter, Sunnynook? I took the free bus to Smales Farm/Wairau for no damn reason yesterday.

I legitimately feel so lost.

 

[coolian2]

It's only when I see the Sky Tower or Glenfield Mall and I feel safe.

 

[coolian2]

Do I have the patience to do 170 posts myself?

 

[Axver]

I must admit the idea of commuting by ferry has its attractions.

 

[coolian2]

...probably. I'm a bit pathetic.

 

[Axver]

And let's be honest, the Shore isn't really a thing. More a conglomeration of things that shouldn't have happened. Good god did nobody know anything about urban planning in the 1950s-60s. It's like they didn't think building that bridge would unleash a wave of sprawl.

I love the idea. But the fares aren't integrated like bus and train, and the goes against my wills as a board member.

Is that okay, policy adviser?

 

[Axver]

That bridge also killed the express train to the Bay of Islands. Who doesn't want a cosy train ride to there?!

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

What the actual hell is up with the satellite dishes in the middle of Albany and I could go on for weeks.

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.

This is where I put a gif of a black woman doing the "Oh you know" hand gesture.
