| Quote Jim Pooley="Jim Pooley"I responded to the opinion of a posters daughter that NZ was 30 years behind the UK. How that is narrow minded of me I do wonder, although now you bring it up, I am an old and bitter chap, but I am old an bitter chap that lives in a mortgage free 5 bedroom house, own his own company and drives a Mercedes AMG......paying at worst 25% TAX. Compared to the tube riding, mortgage laiden 1 bedroom flat owning 50% of my income to the government poor sod I was, I'll take NZ every day of the week compared to anywhere in the UK.
As for keeping my opinion to myself? Are you new to this internet forum malarky?'"
Yeh, but you're paying 1980's prices 
NZ is one of the dullest places on Earth. |

I quite like Hull - nice old town area - real ale pubs - plenty of charm.

It's 'gutterfax' under another name, which might make a lot of sense. |

| Quote Dead Man Walking="Dead Man Walking"How come you think that London should be promoted back to its "rightful" place in Super League ? Does London have more of a right to be in Super League than other teams ?'"
Yes it does have the right. London is the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It must be represented in Super League if rugby league is to be taken seriously in the UK, let alone overseas.
Also, let us not forget that London has produced stars like Daniel Sarginson, Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Anthony Clubb, Kieran Dixon, Mason Caton-Brown, Michael Channing, etc. The list goes on. |

Wrong on both counts there son.
I wish I were paying 1980s prices but not even close. You can't buy a house where I live for under £250k! Food, drink, flights, transport and most other things are all considerably more expensive than back in the UK. I've been here for 10 years and return to England pretty frequently to visit friend & family so I really notice the difference. Money goes a lot further back home without a shadow of a doubt.
If you think that NZ is one of the dullest places on earth then you've clearly never been here. It's anything but mate. |

It was great when I first arrived and the exchange rate was over $3 to the pound (nothing near close to that now). Reality sets in when you start earning the Kiwi dollar lol.
It's a great place to live, there's always something to do and I love how crime is rarely much of a problem down here. It took me a few years to settle in though. I lived in a few different places around the North & South Island before finally settling in Queenstown. I came pretty close to moving back home myself in 2007 but decided to stick it out and thankfully things seem to have worked out well. |
