it's basically these guys who do all this weird stuff and antics and stunts, in a sort of 70's sleazy style (and not to be taken seriously). Their videos that they produced and made used to be shown on 'Space' over the last year or so.

Their website ... www.backofthey.co.nz (http://www.backofthey.co.nz/)

I just read an article about New Zealand. And now I'm contemplating to move there.

How cold does it get in the winter?

Depends... It doesnt snow in some regions.. but in some it occasionly does.
We seem to have rather well REALLY varried winters.. like some years (and this years supposed to be) its really freezing, but others its only mildy cold.

Back of the Y is a really tacky TV show. They're showing it on MTV2 in England. It's crap, which is what makes it so good. The crapness makes it funny.

It's brass monkeys in the South Island during winter, less so up Nelson way ;)

I also think you'll find it is called the Desert Road, beautiful in winter :D

Are you an Aucklander HARD ?

Hello! I'm from Wellington(well I'm moving back in a few weeks).

Does Chch have many veggie restaurants,health food stores etc?
Nicky

Veggie restaurants wise, I know of two. There is the Main Street Cafe, which is on Colombo Street I think. It provides vegan and vegetarian food, it's really nice there. There is also the Dux de Lux, which I haven't been to but I've heard that's one too :)

There's a health food shop on Salisbury Street which I haven't been to, and that's the only one I know of.

I've only been vegetarian for just over two months now so I haven't really checked out all the restaurants and shops yet. I can check the yellow pages though :)

What about Wellington? :)
