4 hrs!!! Jayzus!!! That on a skateboard? Takes me 2:15-2:25 to my door in Kaniere from the Caltex at the Russley corner in a sheepshagger. Bit faster at night.

Jack to translate for you, that means a gouge in the eye with all three thumbs on his right hand.

Yup. I will have to unzip the fly on my overalls to get out my right hand and I will be gouging the hell out of your big brown eye
After that introduction we will then deal with the issue of you poaching my pozzies

I knew he'd be leaving the west coast with a sore ass and I bloody well knew it would not be because of your foot

Southern hospitality right there.

R93 - You're already making me feel so warm and welcome and fuzzy inside - hopefully that just remains non literal.

I know one guy that used to work at the hospital to the south that used to do it in 1:40 - 1:50. He reckoned no one ever did the trip with him twice. Yeah, my old beast is slightly underpowered. I tend do to it in 2:50 - 3:00, unless I hook yet another broken Holden on the back during the journey.

A nurse would have a better chance of getting a job in a rural area rather than in a city.

West coast mate.

You should get a job with your qualifications and experience quickly. Try geoscienes, councils, environmental consultants etc...

Gore... Rural city living (according to the new marketing campaign just launched)... Hospital & heaps of hunting around... Hour and a bit to Central Otago (Q'town, Wanaka etc), 3-4 hrs to tahr, hr to chamois (saw 50 odd last week). I'm biased however since I live nearby...

Oh, sorry, ignore all that... I see you are Aussies... :p

I spent about 15 years taking the piss out of Gore at every possible opportunity... poetic justice that I ended up living there, and its actually pretty good. Nice people, and top notch facilities for a small town.
