Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

[Retardobot]

Jump on a plane tomorrow to start 1 of 4 flights home. Apart from getting to spend a month with my lovely lady I have managed to get myself a sweet haul.

New KB + mouse for a fraction of the price they're sold in NZ (and I don't think the mouse is available in NZ).
Awesome new set of DBH shirts.
Suitcase full of confectionary (not for me).
Baconnasie.
New shoes.
A few trinkets that make life easier, including an Aeropress (goodbye shitty French press).

The next obstacle will be staying up for a day to allow my body clock to return to normal so I can start work the day after I get back in the country.

Also looking forward to getting stuck into FFXIV:ARR with Codex <3. PM me your address at some stage so I can send you your Poptarts. I ended up getting the chocolate fudge flavor, shit they were good.

Also, CHEESE PUFFS IN PLASTIC TUBS.

[mycoolcar]

Did you get any of these?


48 poptarts anyone? by mcctravels, on Flickr

They are pretty much just sugar.

[Retardobot]

Jesus, 48 packs.....

Nah, just had the strawberry ones and the choc fudge.

Very likely i now have the diabeetus. Shitty thing is I've lost weight over the past month because of my erratic eating. Back to the gym in the weekend.

Currently sitting in Newark Int. Airport waiting for my next flight to San Fran then its to Auckland then home.

Best thing about this trip: time with my lady and great food.
Worst thing about this trip: experiencing LAX and feeling myself fall to pieces as I walk away from my lady knowing the next time I'm with her won't be until June next year.

All worth it though. Looking forward to having my own wheels back and getting stuck into a Burger Fuel burger.

Z Fuel is the awesome. Pull up in my car. Dude comes up, fills up my car, cleans windscreen. I go inside and get coffee. Staff are always friendly.

He has put poo under 1 of your door handles, better check all of them.

I don't use the door handles. I jump through the windows Dukes of Hazzard style.

[Pitchey]

I hope you wound the windows down first....

On this whole usa topic, does anyone know if you need to reapply for the usa waiver if you already have it, but are going to another location.

In short, valid for one trip or multiple?

EDIT: dw

Multiple. I think it's valid for two years maybe. I only applied for it the first time and have been back twice since.

On a different topic, an unfortunate name for a bar in these circumstances!

Whoely shit I was there the night before.

***E-mails the Commissioner*** I have a suspect under observation right now!

I know you said dw, but still I want to reply to this for +1 internets.

Its multiple entry and lasts 2-3 years. It also covers you for Canada.

They charged $13.50 for a Redbull & Vodka, so yeah I thought it was a thing where they steal from me & I steal from them.

If you're travelling on an NZ Passport then you don't need a visa for Canada. You can stay for up to 6 months on your passport alone.

[mycoolcar]

zomg.

welcome home?

[Retardobot]

Yeah. Got in at 9am this morning.

Will be crying myself to sleep in t-minus 10 mins then it's work bright and early.

Should be an easy start. Boss is away tomorrow so no pressure on the first day back.

No Lycra in our café!

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/9122264/No-lycra-in-my-cafe

I'd have to agree.

[Retardobot]

I'm a biker (not a cyclist, I own a sweet MTB) and I hate the lycra-clad cyclists. Commuters are fine, they respect and share the road.

But that story is stupid and the owners of that cafe are stupid.

"If anyone takes this sign seriously then maybe they shouldn't be at the cafe". HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE SIGN SERIOUSLY, IT'S IN PLAIN ENGLISH THAT YOU ASK CYCLISTS NOT TO ENTER IF THEY WEAR LYCRA SHORTS".

[Pyromanik]

I think that's a polite way of (poorly) trying to say "If you're offended by this, then you're obviously as a pretentious a cock as your costume advertises."

tysm for poptarts <3 will flick you address later

For FF14 I've joined GP's Hellion FC and am playing with them on mumble since it's dead around here

Good times :3

Han16 is playing too <3

[Retardobot]

I had to join Cactuar server as Behemoth was full at the time of character creation. Hopefully I can have my character shifted at a later date so i can join you hot guys.

Would love to join up with you bozos and have sexy time chats you with on Mumble.

EDIT: Hell, I've only got 15 mins of play on my character, I may as well just create a new dude on Behemoth. Will try tonight when servers are done with maintenance.

[Codex]

yeah it frees up all the time dude just keep trying :3

[mycoolcar]

I don't understand why there is all this hatred for lycra. Women look fucking hot in it. You can see their asses. They are like yoga pants, everyone loves yoga pants.
