Ok, let me set the scene. Mr Thomas’ 6th form History class. Board from listening to talk about the 1st Moroccan Crisis’s consequences Blair turns to me and asks
“David, what do you reckon the Gore of the north is?”
I have a think about this- what’s the smallest, inbreadist, hey there cousin ma town (sorry if you are from Gore or any of the other places mentioned) in the north island. I answer Mangakino. Blair responds with Levin. We start arguing. I just want to know everyone else’s idea on the subject.

Funny you should ask about murders - Dargaville was my closest town when I grew up. A few years ago, I went back for the funeral of a family friend, got talking to a fellow I went to school with, about what I'd been doing since I left the district - uni, travel, work... Did the sociable thing and asked him what he'd been doing - "oh, spent a few years inside, killed a man, sort of".

jimi i think the tui town is called mangatinoka o'rather (?).
and i don't know if you know but masterton has recently opened up and paved the central street and has quickly turned the main drag into something worth walking down. or hooning the souped out subaru's.
i can sympathise with this type's o'shit tho'. when visiting our father every holidays we had to pass through wanganui. year after year, each time we arrived in wanganui, going either way it didn't seem to matter, i would have to stop the car to get out and chunder... i shit you not. it carried on for about six years. i have spewed in every bus terminal toilet in wanganui. the nice duck pond. some hedge running along a through road. numerous rugby fields. gutters & gardens. all before hitting a tender 16years old too. i was born determined and still like the place for what it is... (am yet to figure that out).
i had been to every town in nz before i turned a teenager, and experienced nothing quite like it.

i thought it was mangatikino? paeroa's kinda like that.....its daggy to the days but "its still famous!"....only for a crusty old plastic giant bottle.....and its full of scary homies......we have to play rugby against them....*shudder* they're like pitbulls.....
I was also gonna mention Paeroa, we ...
I was also gonna mention Paeroa, we got lost on the way to the corramandle once (shutup!) and ended up there, If I lived there I think that I would contemplate moving to Gore.
That bottle looks like its been there for millions of years and is probably about ready to come crashing down on some poor local.
P.S - make sure shoes are firmly attached to feet.

THAMES!....no probably Coromandel - the township. Its remote, its daggy, it has a total of like five shops, oh sorry probably about eight.....and literally, if you blink, you'll probably miss it.......and its school....its one area school which ranges from 5 to 17, and the total number of students is probably smaller than that of one third form alone from an auckland school.......its a sad sad town....
but ive never been to dargaville, so i wouldnt know....

I gotta tell you, the creepiest town I know in Canty is Geraldine. It's slightly inbred & has millions of old people. Old people... I think it's basically a retirement town. Theres sone shops & it's not actually that small, but full of old people. Including some ancient relatives of mine I think.

This has got very strange - the thread is about the Gore of the North. Surely, surely, surely, Gore is the Gore of the South. Feeling rather bad here actually, born in Gore, grew up near Dargaville, live near Maungatainoka - maybe someone's trying to tell me something. Oh, by the way, the definitive Gore of the North, since you hate Dargaville so much, has to be Kaikohe - its much worse: I should know, I lived there too!

Try Moerewa - makes Murapara look good. The main event is a freezing works, rather decaying, and a whole bunch of shops which closed years ago and a few which should have. If you truly want skodie little towns, it is hard to beat Northland.

Actually Ive benn round the East Cape and all the way North several times each, bloody hick towns, I reckon there only there because one day on the way to somewhere else two different cars stopped at the same time so the occupants could take a leak/ bloww chunks, and decided it would make a nice foundation for a fish n chip shop, a dairy, a pub and put a few farms around it...maybe a garage with a truck painted red and a garden hose just for safety...
