They've even booked dinner meetings. Probably means I'm paying

Well you know, its pretty hard to find Dunedin from the airport. Drive up the road, reach SH1, turn left. Get that last bit wrong and you'll end up in Balclutha

- remembers days of hitchhiking from chch to GORE to visit my girlfriend who lived there* back in the day
- note I said she lived there, she wasn't from there....... god forbid!
Good old Waimate (waimos) we call em. We always had fun banter with the Waimos saying they were a wee bit interbred like all the stick Tasmania gets.
I think it were because Waimate used to be good at rugby, sports etc giving Timaru clubs a run for their money, so had to give them stick for something 


Got caught coming back across the Octagon in a shower . . . of hail 
Tooooo many Subway's, Starbuck's etc
Very friendly locals though. All staggering up to me in the street
"Do you know where the Uni Bar is?"
"Do you know where the Monkey Bar is?"
"No sorry, I've just arrived in town."
"Cool. Stick with us dude, we'll find it . . . I think it's this way"

Just to add to the thread I too will be there Sat - Mon. Thinking of taking the TVR but maybe I should check the weather first....
Currently looking a bit damp Sat but not bad Sun-Mon so you might be all right. Is it just a case of taking it a bit easy when wet in the TVR or does it do silly things like leaking?P.S.(shameless blagging here) - if you do bring it and think you're likely to have spare time and an interest in enlightening someone who's never been in a TVR, feel free to PM me. No worries if not though

Sounds like Dunedin all right.
ETA: Does coming back across the Octagon mean you were at the DCC, or just one of the other businesses round there? I was based at the Civic centre (1st floor) beside the Octagon when I worked for them.

And why is all the pesto in Dunedin restaurants (well 3 out of 3 anyway) "parsley pesto"? Quite nice but I like a little kick in my greens
