Jobs with diversity are always the best. Really happy things are working out for you there in that beautiful country.

Your voice is very memorable, if you catch sight of Mr. Jackson go and have a word with him. I've got a good idea which part he'll give you... and then you'll have yet another job... :)

Well, I'm sure with your voice you'd be perfect for one of the three Trolls. :)

Can't abide sales jobs, as Ginge3/Inoshishi/Legthigh will tell you, the company we used to work for meant too much interaction with Sales teams. Imagine zombies with less intelligence and that's a sales rep for you... :lol:

Tin Tin?! You gotta a quiff? Got a great idea for a part for you... if you don't like it, then how are your barks? :unsure:

I have a cousin over in NZ who I haven't seen since we left Australia via ship, and a friend who is an award winning pianist there. I have another friend who is now living in the UK who used to live on one of the Islands just off NZ. It's a small world innit? :D

I'm with you on that! Funny I always find that I am more inclined to give a discount or credit to someone that is nice/chatty/understanding than someone that shouts and swears, How about you?

Great News that you got a new job and an interesting one at that! best of luck to you. :gsv:

yeah ras
i would always give polite and nice people a discount and the ones that bark at you telling you how much they have spent in the store over the years can go fork them selves :P

did my first day at the airport today and omg my brain is mush
basically did a whole tour or the place (just the outside)
met alot of pepole inc the CEO and all the fire crew and of course got to see there equipment
holy jees the fire tenders are beasts they have a 4.5 litre engine and a 3.5 litre engine for the pump :o and they are valued at a million bucks a piece
plus they have boats to

peter jackson is having his own personal hanger being built there for his jet plane

and also i got to see john key the nz pm

got shit load of courses to do and tbh really cant wait

a bit nervy of the airside driving lots of potential to go wrong and also need to be aware of planes ect

all in all a good day i get to look out onto the cook straights and see surfers and massive waves
im one lucky fooker :)

You must have some serious security clearance for all of this Oldie. :blink:

S'pose you'll need to be careful what you write about the place, here, there, and just about everywhere... :unsure:
