lol yeah, he kept it up all the way into Hornby as well.

I'm working 12 hr days driving around the city delivering meals to the emergency workers and CD staff. It is very, very difficult not to fly into a rage at the obvious rubberneckers driving around making the gridlock out there even worse. If I had a softball bat in the truck with me, I'd be getting arrested pretty quick.

FFS if you don't NEED to drive somewhere, don't.

About midnight, they said to be drunk, wearing a balaclava, and take a crowbar and loot sack

^ was that a humble brag?

Quote from: Dr Woomanchu;1364246

loving the awesome irony there
"Attached Thumbnails"



Also yeah, traffic is fucking nuts. Especially since many people went back to work yesterday.
Also, many people haven't. Your car is inside the cordon Codex. You ain't getting that until they've lived the cordon.
And that ain't happening until rubble and bodies have been cleared, and buildings inspected, and some pulled down.
You got a wee while to wait yet buddy.

Don't rageface, ain't nothing that can be done about it. Shit just gotta happen.




TL;DR?
GET A PUSHBIKE YOU FATTY

I dont think it was pyro.

As explained on that episode of NCIS that we both saw, a humble brag is when you complain about something that most people would be happy with.

Just to show you how surprising it is when you find people with connections to Christchurch: I got this comment from a YouTube user who I have followed since, forever. A dutch immigrant to Ireland.
Quote from: rozeboosje
@Tiwaking Glad to hear the latter. I stayed in a hotel right beside that cathedral back in 2001. It's very sad to see it in that state. And I can only hope that the death toll doesn't go up by an awful lot more.



conversation here video is totally unrelated to Christchurch at all.

True, I was thinking that when I typed it, however could not think of a better term.
Now, many hours later, I think the better term could be 'humble scite'. Well, perhaps not, it's almost the same thing. But what I'm getting at is the little hint I got of "haha, I got to go inside the cordon" within that sentence.

Since we're now set up in the bosses lounge, we turned the TV on to one and watched a long with scenes of many others doing the same live around NZ.

Earthquake Prediction For Wellington

Quote
A Waitangi dawn ceremony ended with a Maori elder prophesying the destruction of Wellington in a huge earthquake that would leave the Beehive "lying in the debris of the streets".

I found it was easier moving halfway round the world than between chch & akl, simply for the fact that you decide whats really important to take when youre moving a long way and just buy new shit where applicable.

I must say im not looking forward to the paranoia the wgtn quake is going to bring on.
