Hello from New Zealand

**KiwiINTJ** · 06-10-2008, 10:26 PM

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!

Welcome oh fellow Kiwi ! Membership certainly has its perks, after you contribute past a certain point. Enjoy.

**LionsPride** · 06-10-2008, 11:20 PM

Welcome Kiwi!

Could you pass on a big hello to your wonderful country for me? New Zealand's a lovely place.

**Elfrun** · 06-10-2008, 11:25 PM

Alright, another one close to my time zone! Welcome Kiwi.

Hullooo from Oz *waves enthusiastically*

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

**VendettaNZ** · 06-11-2008, 01:03 AM

Hi im from NZ too, welcome.

**KiwiINTJ** · 06-11-2008, 02:08 AM

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** · 06-11-2008, 03:32 AM

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

**Bioplasmoid** · 06-11-2008, 04:33 AM

Nice comeback, Trinz.

**VendettaNZ** · 06-11-2008, 05:02 AM

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** · 06-11-2008, 06:03 AM

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

from here kiwi looks like the pretty bit of oz. and both of them and canada too, are just semi-escapees of the UK.

welcome

**rwyatt365** · 06-11-2008, 12:11 PM

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

**Monte314** · 06-11-2008, 02:16 PM

Does NZ have a "drop bear" problem?

**Elfrun** · 06-11-2008, 03:38 PM

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?

**Synamon** · 06-11-2008, 03:42 PM

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

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.

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

Neither.

**Elfrun** · 06-17-2008, 04:24 AM

*positions Aussie phonetics hat*

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** · 06-17-2008, 04:40 AM

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

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

**rwyatt365** · 06-17-2008, 12:32 PM

I blame Trinity
