I live in a city that is about as multi cultural as it can be. I am also an immigrant albeit one of many from my tribe. I live here because I love the multi cultural society. My kids don’t know any different and genuinely don’t see colour ( to the Poiint that they fail to mention that the mate from school they brought home isn’t being rude he just doesn’t speak English).
My point? There has been a shit storm here over the rugby League World Cup. A number of ‘stars’ who it was presumed would play for New Zealand opted to play for Tonga their country of birth or origin. To make matters worse they opted to play for virtually nothing instead of a fat pay cheque from NZRL. The enevitable happened and NZ played Tonga and Tonga won. Kiwis were up in arms about it but I think it is brilliant. Be proud of your heritage you don’t have to lose it because you live overseas. It is the mix of culture that makes NZ great.

I think they have one here (although was after I immigrated), ironic being as everyone in New Zealand is an immigrant.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 4:31pmYeah that's the one mate.revbob wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 4:20pmIs that a test for citizenship?

It's somehow missing the fine hamlet of Shitterton.
Upton Snodsbury is clearly the name of a Tory cabinet minister in charge of blaming the poor.

Bloody Jesus was born in October but must have clashed with Halloween so moved it for the Romans.
