Brave aren't I just putting it out there after all I did it to Accofranco and now wish to follow, where previously I have led, I feel humble today, Like Uriah Heap, "ever so umble"
People living in Perth Australia are not allowed to comment here lol hahahahah
Personal attacks and insults gladly excepted.
Mandy, reading your missives makes me smile, and that's about the best compliment I can give anyone.
say what, you're sicker than I thought, hang in buddy I'll get Charlie he will know what to do ?
Did you have a bad experience in Perth, Australia? Btw you do have a unique way of saying things and again like being at the receiving end. I admire folks like you who can take a taste of there own medicine.
Mandy "hate" is such a strong word, I have not seen anything in your writing to indicate that Australia (the country) has done anything to hurt you. ?
Look before I scream, I am Bloody well joking, Australians and New Zealanders always hate each other, I have three people here at the moment, and I just said What do you think of Australians, and I got the following replies/ B........ lazy sods hate them, and the last yes Love Australia hate the people.
Its something we do it is stupid, and anyone, that seriously thought that I meant most of what I said would need a full frontal labotomy. I am being told off all over the place tonite. So if you are Australian I don't mean it o.k..........
Have a good night.
Thank you soooo much for noticing that I'd made the effort for you. Love to have you there MandyMyBeau... Did you check out your pizza? Made one specially for the tourists to Bumble Town - NZ.
You better be careful, you don't want to turn into an attention whore like Accofranco
Attention Whore thanks Invited, I don't know I notice acco even if he is a troll and an attention whore, I have always liked people that stand out. By the by I have noticed you, I think that you are the voice of wisdom. Am I sounding like acco yet lol.
Who is mandybeau again?.....jimmy
Just kidding I love your hubs
Thanx Jimmy apparently an attention whore like acco and I am going to e mail acco and tell him.. that'd set the Cat amongst the er pidgeons. Its freezing here, and i wanted to do Forum, that made people realise, I did not just pick on others, that I was willing and able to put myself out there. Besides I have the skin of an Elephant.
OMG I got my Status cut off ... Hanging Out with you guys!
Nah... It must have for telling off someone or being Brutally Honest .... Nah.. Pure Abuse.. that's what it will.. Probably what I said about 2 minute terriers
MandyMyBeau... C'mon mate.. Surely you know where Bumble Town is
Well.. Baaaaah... Dogs are censored? OMG.. In NZ they really 'Love' Posties. & If one or two posties were more honest and left their 'Bike Status' at home... Ummmm
I will be less vocal Nah .. Too Hard!
Hub people should be way more tolerant of Kiwi's the rules that apply to others should not apply to us.
I think we should be given way more leverage, if I wanna say someone is the pits I should be able to say it, I have only said it about one Hubber, and she started the B.S. with me by calling me mandyblue then Mandybleau, she looks like a rottie hahahah in her avator shot, and I just said, something about that too, and i say way too much about Google.
I agree.. Leverage is good.. Usually prefer to negotiate my own: but if you want to fly the flag.. that's cool. I think the whole problem is twofold: Our Accent and the fact that our humour is probably too direct for most. I am writing about my Town (Bumble) which I apologised for when I joined here. Classic Dying Swan humour, which is abit too 'inurface' but is 100% Kiwi... You know the place everyone wants to Own a piece of! Oh sorri.. had to laugh at the 'Blue Birds' reference. Rest my case .. I think. No one understands meee either!
People always comment on my ceramic pukeko, its like no one knows what they are. I know all about their Countries, especially Britain, and The states, because we are taught, and yet no one even knows our little Blue bird. I should shock them with Gumboots (Wellingtons) jandals bizzie bees kiwi fruit (Chinese gooseberry) Cadburies choc. Scenes of our West Coast.... THEY NEED EDUCATING> I have a British accent with a mix of Kiwi, but yesterday I got asked are you Australian,,,,EWWWWWWW
oh I hear that on the education thing but realistically you have to appreciate the vastness of the United States and while the kids learn about other countries ,by the time they cover all of their own states ,its a bit like kiwi school children learning breifly about 50 other countries.
I have been impressed with strangers I talk to on the street who do know where NZ is, and I think thats kinda neat because Godzone is only the size of Colorado after all.
A lady I spoke to from England is so pleased I left NZ because of the sheep flu problem there ....wtf????....bloody typical aint it..lmao
So far Ive been mistaken for English ( I must have been rounding my vowels proper like that day)
Australian ,yeaaahhh
New Jersey because apparently they have low tones and quite nasal ike.....roflmao
and yesterday it was , its soooo cute ,real pretty.
but .. but...you know the raised eye-brow thing Kiwis do ,mostly all Polynesians well it can be taken as a bit of come on here ,y'know come hither ,I like what I see baby ..so Ive taped my 'eye-brows down' lol.
But now Im too shy to s'up ,whats up with thaaaat girfriend! lol
ok Bumbletown has got to be Wellington go Hurricanes ( only sayin that cuz we like Conrad) so maybe youre Petone or Lower Hutt....give us some clues
Sovereignty flag up and flying Eaglekiwi, I thought some other Kiwi was on my site cos u changed your avator....
Its been a bit Kiwi this Forum, so thats good, no the Girlfriend, I just don't like, I had another good long hard look agn, and thought, Why don't I like you?, and told myself eventually I was being an ass. Then in comes my friend Miranda while I was looking at it,ever so non discriminately, and she says " Ew don't like that face,false smile Do you think its really her. I think she'd be a crashing bore. So not just me. Then I showed her some of the Girlfriends Hubs, she said, This stuff isn't remotely imaginative.
So I was right all along. Go with the first impressions, It is cold as, here. I am seriously wearing two layers, and I am a strictly one layer girl. Its miserable........Really bl;eak, just went out for a Latte' even that didn't warm me up, then we went down and saw the Earth race boat that was made in Auckland its wicked, it runs on eco friendly Biodiesel, it is like something out of a sci fi movie, a truly impressive Waka.
Enjoy the warmth
mandy
Wow.. Everyone is learning as we speak! 3 x Kiwis on a thread
I wonder how proud we would be if we kept our lips sealed?
Kia Kaha guys.. (With a Billy T James laugh)
MandyBeau is a goof...as it seems are all Kiwis on the site. What's up with that? Something in that emerald water?
Emerald water Lita thats Ireland, you have just been made an honorary Kiwi, because you have the Panache.
Isn't the water over there green? I saw a documentary. !
Only if it has didyo weed in it and our Government spends bulk on keeping our waterways clean, and free of such maggoty stuff. Ireland is called the Emerald Isle, and I have heard the water looks green, but then New Zealand and Ireland look so similiar in places, I guess it could just be relective stuff happening, we have heaps of trees so these reflect as green on the water. No doubt some plonker from Bulgaria will want to correct me on this tho.. HHHHaaaaaa
Hello guys, how is your sunday, i guess cool? Mine is going smoothly here in Naija (i mean Nigeria), but the sun is shining with great intensity, and i am relaxing at the pool side, playing PS 2 football game. My opinion is that every hubber should try and stop being sentimental and tolerate one another despite their mistakes and may be being a troll or cramp or attention whore. Truly i love hubpages. To all of you who feel offended with my attitude, please forgive and forget, i'm not doing any of those act to hurt any,i am being myself: honest and truthful. Did you guys remembered hubpages' progress in your prayers at your places of worship today?
Acco whatdaya think about uninvited writer calling us attention whores, a whore gets paid, we aren't being paid. I dont get what she is on when she uses the word whore, its sstupid in that context. Oh what the Hell I'll just rate down one of her hubs for the hell of it.
What you didnt get paid??? we need a union!
I got 46c ,but that was overtime cuz its a holiday here so I spose thats time an a half lol I'll split it wif ya cuz I miss fish n chips today! wahhhh
Mine always sting people mandy,so i better sht
MandyBeau is a gem and unique she is a lot of fun and a artist indeed.
@Mandy, according to Ecclesaistis in the Bible, i have decided to shut my mouth even to say the truth, because my jokes, words or satire always irritate hubbers, reason i haven't figured out yet, though i might guess some, and it is never their faults.
They don't have a sense of Humour some of them, Cashmere just told me why I am No 1 on the Hubpages is because I live on the Forums, actually I spend only a bit of free time on the Forums, in between my work, and she probably thinks that you have to sit and type all day. O.K. for her, she's probably a housewife, somewhere, ( I am not insulting housewives just lazy ones)and just has to worry about peeling the Bloody garlic..... I have to cook for everyone, do the house and I am super fussy. in between work I have painted 4 walls.
If they can't take a joke they are just plonkers.
Have a beer and relax, why you so concerned with being number one? Who really cares anyhow?
Its funny how I must come accross as a stress pot. I don't have any probs with stress, at all I am so relaxed that any more relaxed I think I would be proclaimed dead.
But the Beer sounds alright, mind u just alright I prefer top shelf. about once a year lol
I just think it is funny making a biggy of No 1 as it looks to all the World as tho I spend heaps of time on the Forums, another myth.
When you post a topic like that, you wonder why someone would call you an attention whore?? If I posted something like, "What do you think of Anna?? She's the number one Hubber!!" I would expect to be called an attention whore.
Some people do post accomplishments that they achieve. I posted one when I finally reached a HubScore of 100, but I didn't go around asking what everyone thought of me as a topic on the forum. I just announced my achievement, was happy with myself, and wanted to share that.
They still copping all the school principals with kiddy porn on their computers? Seemed to be a spate of it when I was there.
Brenda I am being good see my newest Post for a recipe for apple betty.
Lol ( Its nowhere near as popular as my usual posts no one has even answered it.
Cindy Ive noticed you are quick to mention drugs (P),porn, high teenage pregnancy rates,attributing mainly negative comments about New Zealand.
I know that many people migrated from your home country (SA) to actually get away from the escalating crime there( specially in the cities) and love the safety and family friendly environment of New Zealand,so I am kinda puzzled why you seem kinda negative.
Dont get me wrong ,NZ has its share of crime but not more than say J'burg or Asia wow not even close.
We are getting loads of S.A out here I hadn't thought f it. Was talking to one, and she said she came here for her saftey, whatever thats about. Apparently they do more petty stuff than we have here. No there is way more good about N.Z. than there is bad............
I am always bragging about the place. I bitch at times but who doesn't. Crime exists all over the World, same as Criminals do I guess, just some countries, er take care of them a little more swiftly. Just bitch when your new Levi's go from the Clothesline. Haha
You seem to enjoy being the center of attention and you are darn good at it.

I have a bear. Gulliver. I also have a fear - of flying.So I know I'm not going to see the world. Or much of it anyway.I'd like to send Gulliver in my place. Would any of you nicely-placed-around-the-globe hubbers like to help me?It would involve a tiny bit of effort (on your part) but that's it.I...

I just want to say: Merry Christmas from Sunny Florida to all my friends and followers here in HubLand. You mean a great deal to me. I could get all mushy and sentimental about my 9 months here, but I'll save you the read!
by Rob Welsh 14 years ago
Thanks for your vote if you voted for Bumble Town we got 31% of the total vote. Amazing. Couldn't have done it without the 42 people who chose Bumble Town as the best of ten exceptionally good hubs this week. Thanks everyone Pearldiver.
by Andria 14 years ago
Ok - thankyou to those that have already said 'yes' Here's how I (think) it will work.I'm going to send Gulliver tomorrow, to his first destination. If I can get Mark Knowles address that is. He's going to start in France. It's relatively close to Portugal - so makes sense.On his arrival, Mark can...

Do you give more attention to new formatted hubber profiles over the old?The new profile formatting is a real improvement in look and usability. Some hubber's profiles are awesome. Does this make you frown on those who have not updated yet? I understand that it's their choice, but do you find...

I'm sort of an editor by instinct, and while I never catch everything, and I certainly don't catch everything in my own writing, I often noticed the overlooked typo or common grammar error when reading other people's work.How do most of you feel about receiving corrections? Obviously I wouldn't...
