Not sure why you thought that would offend, but thanks anyway.cynicalandbored said:I happen to quite like Flight of the Conchords. And rugby, as it goes. Though apologies if I caused any offence. I just wanted to point out that I'd heard of New Zealand without having to go into much detail as regards what I actually know, which is quite a lot really, considering I live over half the world away. But yeah, sorry for any possible offence caused.ffs-dontcare said:They also mentioned Flight of the Concords. Yawn, I say.
You're telling me there are New Zealand acts and actors out there that haven't been stolen by Australia and ultimately been turned into Australians?ffs-dontcare said:Some people may have heard of "our" obsession with rugby. (and I use the term "our" loosely as I have nothing to do with it whatsoever)
I wonder how many non-NZers know of the NZ music scene, so to speak. Because I hate that too.
A lot.
Well of course they faked an injury, they're Italians after all.maxmanrules said:Three draws was bull though. The dam Italians faked an injury and got a penalty. Ooooh I'm mad about that now.Trucken said:Sure, I've heard 'bout New Zeeland, but I'll admit I don't know much 'bout it. You're a part of the continent Oceania... Rugby seems to be pretty big down there... You qualified for last years FIFA World Cup and were the only team that left the tournament undefeated (three draws)... You had a pretty good contestant in the World's Strongest Man competition about ten years ago (can't remember his name)... Umm, sheep? Green country? I think that's all I got.
"No WIY! I'm not Imirican! But, yis, I do hiv sheep"holy_secret said:I met a girl from New Zealand and I accused her of being an American speaking with an atrocious australian accent.
That was awkward.
I proceeded by asking her if she has sheep in her backyard.
Yes. Yes she did.
