#283087 - Thu Oct 27 2005 11:59 AM Hello From New Zealand
Howie72 Star Poster Registered: Thu Oct 27 2005 Posts: 10939 Loc: Timaru NZ	Hello from beautiful New Zealand. I have been a member of Quizzyland for a number of months but have only just now got around to joining the Forums. I am looking forward to meeting many new people. I have noticed that there are a significant number of Australians around here so to even the ledger I thought a perspective from the other side of the ditch might be welcome.

I understand that NZ is a beautiful country, my friend's son is out there at present and loves it. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

Any truth in the rumour that the North and South Islands are about to become the seventh and eighth states of Australia? _________________________ The key to everything is patience.

I am from Australia but I have done a project on New Zealand a couple of years ago and have come to discover that it is a beautiful country, you are so lucky you live there! Oh wait, where was I... Oh Yeah, Welcome aboard Howie! _________________________ In the wise words of a Take 5 reader: "I can`t do anything today, until I`m finished with yesterday, which should be some time tomorrow."

ktstew Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 18 2005 Posts: 8717 Loc: Arkansas USA	A good friend of mine ended up moving to New Zealand years ago, when he had originally been headed for Alice Springs! He was overwhelmed by the fairy tale beauty of the place, and stayed many years before returning to the States for a while. A hearty welcome, Howie!

Howie72 Star Poster Registered: Thu Oct 27 2005 Posts: 10939 Loc: Timaru NZ	Thank you for the warm welcome. Ozzz, I believe that Tasmania is going to become New Zealand's fourth island and Mainland Australia, well, will be further down the list.

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	I like New Zealand. I was there for the first time a few months ago, but I only had time to do the South Island. It was absolutely amazing. Welcome to the forums Howie. I hope you'll enjoy your time here. _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

Ballykissangel Multiloquent Registered: Fri Jul 12 2002 Posts: 4643 Loc: Halifax Nova Scotia Canada	Hi Howie. I have friends who are from NZ. Lovely people. I've always wanted to travel there. Maybe someday....when there's a way to get to New Zealand from Canada that doesn't involve a plane. Welcome!
