Hello from New Zealand

[KiwiINTJ]

Hi all,

I have been reading the numerous threads on this forum for a week or so now, so I decided to finally sign up. There are heaps of interesting things that you guys discuss, which I look forward to taking part in.


Take it easy!

Cool, so there are Canadians here also...I was beginning to wonder where they were.

[VendettaNZ]

Hi im from NZ too, welcome.

[KiwiINTJ]

Good to see a lot of friendly INTJs! (not that I ever doubted that INTJs were friendly underneath all that hardened steel armour). :P

I note the presence of an Aussie or two lurking about… it is true that no forum is perfect, but I sharnt let such a minor detail rain on my welcoming parade.




(I'm kidding, I love you Aussies really… I just had to, I couldn't resist).

[Elfrun]

huh? We're different? I thought Kiwiland was another Australian state just with funny money :suspicious:

[Bioplasmoid]

:laugh: Nice comeback, Trinz.

[VendettaNZ]

mmm well you aussies better get used to NZ'ers seems about half of us already live there and the other half wish they were.

[Lupin]

A big hello from me. Are you south or north island? NZ is a special place, lucky you!

Welcome, from 'Merica, home of the true 'Mericans - yee-haw!!

[Monte314]

Does NZ have a "drop bear" problem?

[Elfrun]

No, NZ has a drop beer problem, only Oz has drop 'bears', you guys and your funny talk, go on say bear... You can't can you... How about 'the drop bear wants six beers? ;D

[Synamon]

Wow I never knew the distinction, thanks Trinity. Another yoohoo from Canada, one of the other 'pretty' countries. :gorgeous:

Yea I didnt realise that we did that, I actually dont know how you say them differently >.> Beer, Bear, Bare, sound all the same to me.

[Elfrun]

Oh no, they're gonna pick on you when you get here babe :mellow:

[KiwiINTJ]

South Island for me - CHCH to be exact (apologies for the delay in responding, have been away for a bit).

Neither.

[Elfrun]

*positions Aussie phonetics hat* :crowngrin:

Well...

You pronounce Bare and Bear correct and the same, they have an 'air' sound.

Beer however should have an 'ear' sound, that is if you wish to order one at a bar in 'Stralea without receiving odd looks and a snigger from the bartender.

Obviously I'm assuming you pronounce ear and air differently ;)

[comet]

Welcome KiwiINTJ, just a G'day from across the small ditch that's the Tasman Sea, hope you find this forum of interest.

[KiwiINTJ]

Obviously I'm assuming you pronounce ear and air differently ;)

I've been experimenting and it seems to me that they sound the same. I blame the English language. :P

[rwyatt365]

I blame Trinity :thumbsup:

[KiwiINTJ]

I blame Trinity :thumbsup:

Fair point.

[Elfrun]

Bah! :suspicious: Go 'head and drink ya bear den!

[schwartzie]
