Big dumb idiot (in front of other people)

Fibre. It’s how we internet now.

Khufu says...

I have family there, and lived in Sydney, Aus for a while and worked with lots of Kiwis, they were great.

Go there, meet the people, it will all make perfect sense. They aren't crazy or all dicks, that makes a huge difference in their society.

This is an Effing Library

Mammaltron says...

Uh, he sounds as British as an ultra-Kiwi Kiwi can sound.

Also this is Patrick Gower, political editor for NewShub and all-round New Zealand political shit-stirrer.

I just watched this to see if that guy sounded as British as he looked. Suspicions confirmed.

How To Cook A Cheap Steak Vs. An Expensive Steak

Mordhaus says...

Another thing you can do to cheap steak is to use coarse sea/kosher salt and coat it really well, then let it sit an hour per inch of thickness. After that, rinse it off and pat it dry. You can also use kiwi, pineapple, or papaya to tenderize it instead, it is quicker but some people don't want the flavor marinading the steak.

It depends on the kiwis you meet.

In general, kiwis are a bit like the Irish in that they won't swear at you, but will swear with you.

You'd have to be a real asshole to get your average kiwi to be aggressive towards you, but there are plenty of them who will happily swear like a trooper in general conversation.

Ha!
I'm just going by my limited experience from the 80's when I spent 2 weeks there. At one point we went to a public hot spring that had cement pools that the water cascaded down, making what looked like a giant set of stairs going down a hillside. Some kids were there, playing in a few by throwing small rocks back and forth. At one point, a 14+- year old boy stood up, and in a calm measured tone said "Excuse me. I would appreciate it if you would stop throwing stones."...and they did. We fell over laughing, knowing that an American teen has never once in all recorded history been so polite and adult when dealing with other kids, nor would American kids respond by stopping.
We didn't meet a single rude kiwi.

You're kidding, right? Kiwis can swear with the best of them!

And yeah, I'm in chch, but I'm a frequent visitor to qtown, especially in winter.

And this looks like some *quality mayhem!

I'm nowhere near as fast as these guys, but that looks like some epic fun. Crazy downhill kids!

I didn't mean to imply kiwis never curse, just that every third word out of their mouth isn't a curse word. ;-)

Not to my ears. If you're sure (and care), give me a second count to listen to. I heard many sounds close to that, but never that word, after 3 listens. Remember, these are kiwis, not Americans, they are much better mannered.
