Australia vs. New Zealand

[NGU]

I got this from the what COUNTRY are you from thread.

Basically people post their thoughts on either of the two countries and which one they think is better k. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

[tomamar04]

I like both...but I'd have to say NZ just because of the Ashes rivalry between England and Australia.

[Reine]

Well, the main thing I find funny is the apple import issue. Oz has this issue with our apples and REFUSES to have them imported, its been going on foy SOOO many years now XD

[NGU]

Your potatoes piss us off too

[Meat Puppet]

new zelend lol

[NGU]

Ah.put..tah ( dies of stroke)

[ScottNUMBERS]

Ethnocentrism is greatly discouraged.
I think you used too big of a word.

[Loony BoB]

This reminds me of that Ontario vs. Ontario thread I made a long time ago.

I go for NZ, obviously. Anyone who votes Aussie will obviously be banned. :shifty:

[Spiffing Cheese]

Australia!

[Reine]

Good one BoB! :cool:

We also have the Sky Tower, and better music, and we have a better game rating system

[Meat Puppet]

We also have o_O.

[NGU]

I'm gonna rate NZ G for GAY

[Reine]

We also have Meat Puppet and Big D

Thats an automatic win

[NGU]

You wish we got an but F*&^ing PM so...Oh wait thats a bad thing

[Reine]

You lost PiP, your greatest asset, but you still have ToD, I'll grudgingly give you that..

[NGU]

yeah well we've also got KIM BEASLY!!!!!!!!! Wait Wait no he's an idiot

[Mo-Nercy]

If only more EoFF Aussies lived in Sydney, we'd be cool.

To my understanding of it, it's only me and someone else.

[Psychotic]

New Zealand has BoB. Even the goodness of Face cannot counterbalance that evil. Australia thank you please.

[Luther X-Rated]

Both Countries are nice!

There shouldn't be argument which one is better.

[Yamaneko]

America!

[DK]

Australia gave birth to Brett Lee which automatically makes it the worst country in the world.

[Cid Vicious]

New Zealand, just for Once Were Warriors.

Both Aussies and Kiwis are cool though. So laid back. :cool:

[Meat Puppet]

New Zealand has BoB. Even the goodness of Face cannot counterbalance that evil. Australia thank you please.

Isn't BoB closer to your house than mine?

[Cz]

How many votes for New Zealand so far? Sex. :cool:

[SammieBabe]

America!

Yay!

[Zeldy]

I thought New Zealand was part of Australia.. Ive never been there! How would I know? xD

[Reine]

I thought New Zealand was part of Australia.. Ive never been there! How would I know? xD

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

OMG, thats just.....XD

You hear something new everyday XD

[Dreddz]

This is so tough, Australia did Neibours !
But the Spiders down there are MASSIVE........*shudder*
NZ seems pretty boring though. Probably Australia. Sydney still seems like a cool city. And im going to visit Sydney later this year ( in my Summer Holiday ) cause my Uncle lives in Sydney and Ive never met him. Good chance to see the city.

[Zeldy]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

OMG, thats just.....XD

You hear something new everyday XD

Well we don't actually learn about Austrailia.. >_>

[Reine]

Thats a good thing, nothing interesting there :cool:

But then again, thats what atlas things are for :D


Sorry im not mocking you or anything , that just one of the funniest things ive heard all day XD

Its been a very fun day today, and im more hyper than ive been in months :D

[Loony BoB]

Before Lord of the Rings (the movies) came about, I can tell you that a very large amount of people in the world thought the same things as Zeldy.

NZ isn't boring at all, by the way. At least in NZ, you can drive five hours in any direction and not still be in the exact same environment. :p

[Reine]

Hell yes B)

I forgot all about LoTR and Narnia somehow...:(

This week im going on holiday up north somewhere, its awesom in the countryside there, like BoB said, the terrain changes so rapidly, from bush to farmland, all sorts

[DK]

NZ isn't boring at all, by the way. At least in NZ, you can drive five hours in any direction and not still be in the exact same environment. :p

So? I can do that in 20 miles direction in Cornwall.

[Loony BoB]

So? I can do that in 20 miles direction in Cornwall.
Yeah, and you can in NZ as well. My point is that you can drive for five hours in Aussie and the environment won't change much at all.

[DK]

Thats because NZ is tiny compared to Aus. :P

[Loony BoB]

Thats because NZ is tiny compared to Aus. :P
So is England, but I assure you, England doesn't change that much no matter how far up and down the country you go. Even if you include Scotland and Wales. You don't know nothin' about variation until you get to NZ. It has all sorts of terrain, everything but a sandy desert (although there is a desert, it's just the dead kind rather than the sandy kind), in one small place. I could probably see all the kinds of terrain the UK has in about a tenth of NZ (probably even less). And the UK is bigger than NZ, too.

EDIT: Just looking around threads on other forums with this topic (eg (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-342588.html)), seems anyone who has been to both countries suggests seeing both, but most say NZ is better. 8-)

[Psychotic]

Isn't BoB closer to your house than mine?Yes, but you don't see me saying Scotland is better than Wales, do you? (Scotland compared to England would be unfair. It's like putting a tapir against a gigantosaurus)

[Meat Puppet]

What? That lying bastard Czanthor told me that Wales is a hill in England. >:O >:O

I've lived in Australia and I've lived in New Zealand. Any day I would rather live in New Zealand than Australia. Note that I would still return to Australia from time–to–time, if only for the girls.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

are there any hot girls in nz?:tongue:

*runs*

i hear its boring there and that there are lots of sheep!? Seriously though id love to go and visit there i know people from nz and they're pretty cool so yea! I've lived in Sydney most of my life so i guess ima have to go with sydney lol

Loony: have u driven for 5 hours in australia lol!?

[Loony BoB]

Of course not. Why go to Australia at all when you can be in New Zealand? :confused:

I'm just a typical bias New Zealander. :D

[Maxico]

Where's Old Zealand?

[Meat Puppet]

In the Netherlands.

[blackmage_nuke]

I go for Australia because it's the only one Ive been to.

And it rocks


Where's Old Zealand?
Is it just called Zealand?

[Loony BoB]

Just because there's a New York doesn't mean "something happened to York". Same with pretty much any "New ____" location. Zealand is still Zealand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand

EDIT: Damn you people for editing your posts and making my posts look slightly out of context.

[Maxico]

Is it just called Zealand?

Old Zealand sounds better.


But yeah, I'm going to go with Australia purely on the basis that it doesn't have a derivative name.

Edit: Bah, double negative'd.

[NGU]

BoB, Reine here are 5 reasons that Aus is better
1. We're bigger
2. Victoria has only like one desert
3.Mel Gibson
4. We hate our Prime Minister
5.Mel Gibson

[escobert]

I've been to both, and I liked New Zealand better. :p

[Skogs]

I like Kiwis. The have a healthy sense of their own insignificance, which us Aussies would do well to learn from.

That said, Australia still > New Zealand. :D

[Calliope]

Tsk tsk.

Australia. Giant prison filled with mozzies, aussies, spiders and jolly swagmen whose children are eaten by giant dogs. Home of The Crocodile Hunter [ugh], Crocodile Dundee [ugh], Yahoo Serious [ugh] and those silly hats with the corks on them. Only redeeming feature = Rove McManus. Also they stole Phar Lap, Pavlova, Crowded House, Split Enz, Fur Patrol and a bunch of other things we have yet to claim back.

New Zealand needs to get its act together and <a href="www.savehappyvalley.org.nz">stop chopping down its forest and stomping all over its indigenous creatures</a>. Oh yeah. Australia also gave us Possums. Bastards.

[Skogs]

You consider Rove McManus a redeeming feature?


:confused:

[Dignified Pauper]

My former room-mate is in australia right now. Neel is in New Zealand right now. Obviously they both suck.

[eestlinc]

jolly swagmen whose children are eaten by giant dogs.
that is a good thing! a good thing!

[NGU]

:confused:
WHAT THE?

[smittenkitten]

AUSTRALIA OVIOUSLY! :love: I am Obsest with Australia I don't know why, I Sooooooo want to go there but It's so long way away. :( I ask Mitto all these annoying questions about animals and the waether infact tommorrow I pick up my friend from the airport she's just back from Australia! I'm so jelous!!! :mad2:

[Yliette]

New Zealand. The country I wish to migrate to once I'm done with College. At least the population's 5 million (I think) compared to the Philippines' 85 million. 'Sides, I know there are many Filipinos in Auckland.

[Reine]

are there any hot girls in nz?:tongue:

That sheep thing is such a lame joke -_-

The only sheep youll find, like most countries, is on the farmland, along with the cows and other animals

And yes, there are plenty of hot girls here :cool:

[Calliope]

OMG Rove is on tonight!

One Day, Rove, John Campbell and I will cruise around Auckland in a chauffeured van. First we'll buy swank new suits and then we'll run around throwing water balloons at people and giggling (we'll also be wearing helicopter hats) hysterically.

You'll see!

Stay Essential

[Reine]

So where the bloody hell are ya? :p

Rove is pretty funny but i reckon its peter hellier (sp?) and Karin Grant that get me laughin! And doesnt Pete look similar to philip seymour hoffman!? U guys catch the comedy gala the other night?

[Mo-Nercy]

Corinne Grant doesn't even do Rove anymore. She's pretty much just on The Glass House now, which is a very very very good thing because Glass House rocks.

[Loony BoB]

So where the bloody hell are ya? :p
Do they show the Western Australia advert over there, too, or was that just coincidence?

The girl who says that is cute.

[Jess]

I've never been to either Australia or New Zealand. Austrailia has big spiders though, doesn't it? :( I don't know if this is the case for New Zealand aswell. :p

[Loony BoB]

New Zealand's spiders are - for the most part - safe. There's the odd bad one, but I never saw one of them up close (and I've been camping up and down the North Island), so I would say that we're not any worse than the UK is.

[Slade]

I went to Aussie for the first time just recently......I really liked the place. Actually, I didnt really find it that much different from NZ apart from that the place was flat and much bigger. I still prefer NZ though.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

Do they show the Western Australia advert over there, too, or was that just coincidence?.

Most likely the latter :D Dunno if they're allowed to mention the word "bloody" on tv lol


The girl who says that is cute.

hey something we can agree on



I've never been to either Australia or New Zealand. Austrailia has big spiders though, doesn't it? :( I don't know if this is the case for New Zealand aswell. :p

its the same case with any spiders if u leave it alone it wont harm you besides you dont encounter the dangerous ones unless if you live in the outback or the inner west of the country anywhere else the only spider u may encounter is the daddy-long legs which is hardly harmless!

[NGU]

we should make it a poll

[Mo-Nercy]

I've run into a few funnel web spiders in my life. :cry: But thankfully, I'm still alive.

Personally, I don't mind the kiwis. I love Sydney but a holiday over in New Zealand is pretty high up on my wishlist. Or maybe I'm just sick of going back to China all the time. :eep:

[NGU]

I like aus alot we got Dame edna dave hughs corrine grant and will anderson

[Mitch]

nz

[NGU]

now look nz is a little country we are big in size land not people but in otherways too!

Definately NZ.

[NGU]

Why they gave birth to russel crowe we've got Mel Gibson

[-N-]

We also have o_O.When did you become NZ? Why haven't I met you yet?

I've traveled both countries pretty extensively by now, and after all that I've been through, I must say that *shot by sniper*

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

*walks away whistling*

guess u guys have never heard of a camel spider, check it up on google or yahoo...thats creepy...its in not in either aus or nz....just saying lol:D

[Cid Vicious]

Who's got the sexiest women?

[roxy]

Ooooh, Australia.

[-N-]

Yeah, Australia does have hotter people.

[Reine]

Yeah, Australia does have hotter people.

I totally disagree of course

[Loony BoB]

Stacey's Mum is a New Zealander. 'nuff said. 8-)

But to be fair, I would say neither NZ or Aussie have the best looking people in the world. I've found Scottish and English girls to be better for the most part. It all depends on what you go for, too. I know a lot of people just don't really get into the attraction of an interracial relationship, and Auckland is one of the most multi-cultural places in the world. I don't find myself physically attracted to the Asian or Polynesian look personally, but that doesn't mean I don't realise that some of the Asian and Polynesian girls in Auckland are absolutely beautiful.

We had a debate on this, though, a bunch of NZ'ers and Australians I used to work with (they obviously recruited a fair few) along with some of their friends that were around at the time. Oddly enough, the Australians were going on about how awful most Australians look, while the New Zealanders were going on about how good they looked. :p It was a pretty weird argument.

[Rusty]

I have to say Australia! We are just awesome. I think it's safe to say no one comes close to us when it concerns sport and we have AFL! And V8 Supercars! We have Holden. Enough said.

[Angel Heart]

That's a tough one, Home + Away and Neighbors come from Oz, but Lord Of The Rings was filmed in NZ. :confused: I'd say it's a draw. :p

[~SapphireStar~]

Australia, mainly because my dad now lives there. Its TV shows are crap, but the Sidney Opera House is a beautiful site.

[Dreddz]

Its TV shows are crap
Wah ? (http://www.neighbours.com/)

please lets not go there!?

and we got jennifer hawkins people nuff said!? Gotta give to bob for the most diplomatic stance on that situation...i never thought that was possible lol! and whos stacey?

how could that be an argument

[Loony BoB]

It was Australians saying Australians look bad, New Zealanders saying Australians look good. :p Almost sounds impossible!

[Rinoabella]

New Zealand.

For a significantly smaller country, we rock!

[-N-]

Neel Zealand just has a better ring to it, really.

Neel Zealand just has a better ring to it, really.

But for now we are Neel Zealand!

We also have Sakura Yume. Don't piss her off or she'll chew off your ankles.

[Mittopotahis]

Australia, obviously. How is there even a debate on this?

[NGU]

New Zealand spawned Russel Crow that is an unforgivable crime!

[Christmas]

Oh dear, this thread is a little bit old. :(

[Reine]

Indeed it is, old and smelly. Look, there goes a rat!

[NGU]

Yeah I started it though. I could use you Reine for rat bait in a trap. I'll have to cut you up into little pieces ok??

[damaged_core]

Australia hands down, that could be due to the fact that I am one, and always will be, we have the sport, the sunshine, the cute little island that everyone seems to forget about...oh and were are so totaly the big brother of New Zealend.

Also I love the way that Americans say "Melbourne." Its soooooooo weird and funny.

[Markus. D]

NZ new zealand!
