Agree with that one, eh?

@Zealandia Hahahaha very common expression here, but I don't happin to one who uses it....but then again, I say ''happen'' so I guess despite being born here, I'm not a proper Canadian. I also hate hockey. HORRIFYING, I know!

@Lilac-JadeCanada We say “eh” too. I should be watching the Rugby World Cup games, will get around to it. The days the country would go into mourning if a big Rugby Union match was lost have gone now fortunately.

@Zealandia I'm not into sport at all, but rugby is starting to get popular here in some areas.

It’s fush mate, fush.

@Zealandia I wasn't sure so hedged my bet! It's been a long time since I heard or saw it written.

@FrayedBear There’s obviously not many kiwis in your part of the country!

@Zealandia lol, I've never met one - the moori working at the local slave promotion centre - the Participation Centre for Volunteers - was a faux Maori being Straylian born & bred. At indeterminate age between 25 & 60, I'm no good at guessing fat women's ages, I don't think that she'd even visited the shaky isles!

@FrayedBear Really? Wow, you must be getting a pretty limited viewpoint of the country, by just talking to me and a lady not even born there!

So you’re saying she identifies as Māori, even though she wasn’t born in Aotearoa? Fair enough, depends how much she pushes the image. She’s possibly a first generation Aussie, depending on her parentage.

@Zealandia I suspect not full blood Māori. Affected accent & a well balanced person having a chip on each shoulder.

@Zealandia she never helped me.

@FrayedBear Maybe she felt that you don’t require any help.

@FrayedBear I’d forgotten that chip in each shoulder saying…

@Zealandia what from having 300 effing xenophobic god bothering Australian heritage deniers on my back discriminating against me?

@Zealandia because of the simple truths I was uttering.
I've just had another complain that I said IMO she wanted a slave to look after her 6 pets whilst she went for 3 weeks over xmas & new year to be indoctrinated at a church camp. No payment was being offered for my time.
I asked for clarification as to whether it was the slavery or indoctrination comment that she was objecting to but received no response other than bullying threat.

@FrayedBear Thank goodness I don’t have god botherers in my life.

Having an ex wife who’s a vicar’s daughter is enough to deal with.

@Zealandia Sadly like the stupid it is often hard to visually recognise them.
