And I couldn't care less about rugby because it's just a stupid game they play in the north-eastern states. So England are quite welcome to beat us, as are Burkina Faso for that matter.

Yes, sporting taunts definitely need the right audience.
Anyone else think it's cute watching the Antipodeans hurl insults at each other?
Just me then.

Ah, we love each other really. Kiwis are adorable! Those accents are to die for!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
They would, I suspect, easily win any fight of that sort with the simple, "So does Peter Jackson."
As a counter to an insult, I find this meaningless. t /Disillusioned LotR fan

Oh, aren't they just? Any NZ-er saying anything longer than a three word sentence sets me giggling for hours. They're just so cute! And I'm mightily impressed by how they handle the inevitable confusion about whether they're saying 'sex' or 'six'.
(Hey, they started it. There's was taunting! Granted some of the taunting was about the mythical sport thing I hear tell of sometimes, but it still counts. I have my complete lack of national pride to protect here.)

It's a remora, dimwit.
It is fun to hear them bad-mouthing each other, or to hear someone doing his impressions of the various accents of Australia and New Zealand, even though they all sound exactly like the Darwin one he started with. It's like listening to orchestra members bitching about how violin and viola are completely different instruments.

Clarification on white fonting... I posted a bunch of stuff about Inside Out in white font because not all of Australia has seen it yet, but I deleted it because I wasn't sure if that's considered spoiler taunting or something. Can I post in white font or should I wait until it has aired in all Aussie states?

Emlah, as far as I'm concerned there's no problem with you posting it here in whitefont. We're all used to being taunted!
