I'm from hamitlon :)

i was expecting this to be city/land of origin....

which again is hamilton haha... exciting ha? (although i am an kiwi/swiss/italian blood mix)

proportionally speaking, Invergiggle has provided the nation with a truckload of decent-to-genius bands and musicians.

//its a hole

that sounds a lot like temuka.

// just as much of a hole as temuka though.

that sounds a lot like waimate.

wicked. i would drop it down a few cogs and burn some rubber next time i pass through but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont ever plan to pass through again.

nah, as soon as i read stagnant water i knew it had to be waimate. the only other viable options would be pleasant point, kurow or rakaia... and none of those mean stagnant water (although it could possible be waihao, which is near waimate anyway, but you don't need to know a lot of maori to work out which one it's going to be).

yee-aaaah!

me too. been here all m' life.

hahaha sweet bro

// stint in Pakuranga

Hey, I made good - now I'm in Kingsland. Heart of trendy-wendy muso quarters; And flanked by Mt Eden & Grey Lynn. I know for a fact that 3 of Augustino live in the immediate vicinity. And I've seen SJD at the supermarket.

So where do you live then, eh?

I always thought Orc-land would be littered with Shortland Street actors, but I've only seen two since I've been here. Granted I wouldn't recognise any now since I don't watch.

I go to Roasted every weekend for Mixed Berries French Toast. Yum!

Kingsland is the sun-drenched land of Kings (and Queens)! Except for when it rains, which is most of the time.

Kingsland is also Kog land, so there are many muso types lurking around.

Very. It is always "Sunny Kingsland" in my mind.

Even when it's pissing down upon me as I walk along New North Road.

// and we were almost certain that we saw Don McGlashan in the Canton Cafe.

So, I've been to his house and he gave me mint slices - so there :P
