>sjm, for some reason I thought you were in Auckland...? I'm pretty sure that's where Prof. Dowling came from. I could be way out to lunch, he might've been from the South Island (Christchurch in particular) - but I had a feeeeeling it was Auckland. My mitsake.



It's as I feared! For 76% of NZers, being mistaken for a Dorklander is almost worse than being mistaken for a Strine. If Auckland were a person, it would have the integrity of Clinton, the intellect of Dubya, the sincerity of Tony Blair, the grace and charm of Janet Reno and the charisma of John Major. Call me a Dorklander again and I will have to kill you. Sorry, but that's the rule.
