Kia Ora from New Zealand -
meatballs - 19-02-08
G'day Ladies and Gentlemen,
My names Jo i'm a 27 yr old Englishman studying in a town called Dunedin way down near the bottom of the south island of NZ. Just recently got into Adidas and Superstars, until now always gone to the dark side and bought Nike esp. air max 95's.
However, been lokking at shells on the net for couple of months and just ordered my first pair off that Jayeedee fella. Bought some adicolor camo cool the brown ones, then spotted the olive stan smith st on size so I ordered them too. Can't wait for them to arrive, had problems with nz post in past so had 'em sent C/O the post office and been down there pretty much every day since I ordered them!!
I'm a pretty obsesive person when it comes to hobbies/things I like so think my collection could be growing rapidly. Anyway nice to meet you all, take it easy. Jo.

Thanks for the greetings, I used to love kia ora too, do they still make it? Been out of uk so long i don't know, I used to rate 5 alive as well.
However just to clear up any confusion, "Kia ora is a MÄori language greeting it means literally 'be well/healthy' and may also be regarded in a more formal sense as a traditional greeting of 'Good health."
P.S. not trying ber smart arse just don't want people thinking i'm a bit weird.

Greetings from around the world.
Hope you enjoy it here!
Love Kia Ora (it most definately is too orangy for crows!) but knew it was a greeting as I have a friend in the Aotearoa.

Welcome dude! It's good to finally have someone on here a bit closer - only about 360kms away! I'm just up in Christchurch.
Just a warning, if you're using
trademe to buy soups be VERY careful, there's a lot of fake crap on there, although occasionally soon good deals to be had.

Yeah mate,
Fully aware of the dubious nature of trademe sellers. I reported some twat the other day who had a shitload 35th's (adi dassler, undefeated's etc) on TM all for $139nz and multiple sizes-yeah right.
Cheers for the warning though, so far bought gear from UK but i've found it a bit of a russian roulette with nz post as to whether it will ever turned up. Helpful postie in dunners likes to leave parsels on the doorstep, someone thieved all my xmas presents that way-nice. May the light fingered bastard be visited by a ghost of christmas past with a penchant for buggery!

That's a bit sad, I've taken to getting all my parcels delivered to work - there's only about 10 of us in my offices, so there's not much chance of anything going astray.
