Thread: Married to a kiwi

Welcome, my wife never comes on here, to her animals aren't here to kill, only to eat.

Welcome and well done on posting here! Hurray to nzhs wifes ✌��

Please, share your story.

Married to a Kiwi and our mentality difference would be perfectly explained as “a cat and a dog” ��
Keep positive - Stuart Island is most magical place as I think. Wouldn’t mind Bora Bora though!

A

Stewart island is great, yes there is a pub !
personally i couldnt think of anything worse than a tourist island like bora bora, give me vegas anyday

Now having traveled to the weird side of earth myself I have rubbed shoulders with one or two of the guys from the overland trucks/African rafting scene.

Sideshow is a man to get stuck in a hut with. He has stories

Welcome. Always nice to get another perspective and its great when you find something you can spend time with your other half doing together. I wish mine would come hunting or outdoors with me.

I would suggest that my wife sign up too, but I know too much about knitting and cross stitch already and would hate to drag all the members down that rabbit hole .....She very good at it but sticks to he own forums where she can also help up and coming stitchers.....

On the otherside if any of you guys want to buy your Mrs a fancy shawl (or one for you if you like lets not be exclusive here) There are always a few real nice new ones here...She does designer tests where she knits a pattern for a designer to "proof read" any mistakes before they are published / sold.

Thanks for the supporting posts there guys. We are getting a good laugh out of this!

Mrs Sideshow is actually sounding quite excited about this trip to me. Have you shown her the video? Not that I know anything about a video.

Year we sat and watched it the other night.....she like ummm I'm off to make a cup of tea, me ok she turned up two hour later
By now I'm watching the rugby and ask where have you been you missed the whole thing. Oh practicing for the island I trying to boil the water on the stove while lighting a fire underneath it

Thanks for that though great vid on those grey ghosts!
There's discussion 2 coming soon

Hey @Mrs Sideshow. Nice to meet you. You'll be the same as my wife shortly, don't you worry. She carries the rifle, shoots the animal, cuts it up, and carries it out. I carry a small day pack, and make tea at an appropriate moment.

Would you like to see the photos?

Hello @Flyblown. Thank you for your welcome. I like the idea of my husband making me a cup of tea. I'm not sure about the shooting bit though. My husband made me fire a shotgun when I went to NZ for the first time and I didn't like the noise and the recoil. He did say that he probably made me shoot with too big shot size (no idea what he is talking about, by the way.....). I did though enjoy firing a rifle, as I liked the idea of the precision, the controlled breathing, the art of it. However, would I like to point it at an animal? I am not vegetarian and enjoy an nice steak and have also been known to carry the odd pheasant or two, but I think that will be it for me.....

Welcome aboard you are going to love it here, lots of good stuff and you can keep an eye on what Sideshow is up to

Is it just me has this image?

Welcome, you could do a lot worse than marry a Kiwi. Enjoy the forum

Welcome ..It will be interesting to see if you start a trend here. My Partner is also from a land far-away, she is slowly getting used to living on an Island. Lucky for me, she grew-up around firearms and hunting, though I occasionally see her eyes glaze-over, as I explain the need for another rifle
