West Represent.
Last week during the Future Leaders Final Fling Party (our graduation shindig) I was up at the bar before dinner and ordered a bourbon and coke. Julian turns to me and says "Well, you can take the girl out of the west but you can't take the west out of the girl"

Yesturday was primo. Played poker at the pub tournament down at Paddingtons (Came 3rd by the way) and Avondale crew turn up. In the evening I went to the Miss India NZ pagent and there was a bollywood group performing from Avondale College. Represent.
Metallica and Cortinas
(MK II)I remember a few years ago when the interns and the EB (2003 and 2004) went to a BOA dinner with Steve Bridges. Somehow West Auckland came up as the Bridges used to live there and Diana (from Columbia) goes "Whats the deal with West Auckland?" This sparked a conversation that lasted over an hour and ended up with Jon Bridges (yes the actor) running downstairs to print off several images of my beloved Cortinas to show the interns.
Metallica - Enough said.
Still confused?
Check out the best New Zealand television show ever made - Outrageous Fortune: Channel 3 Tuesday evenings 9:30pm. Full of bubbling sterotypes. Love them or hate them, it's up to you.
