Welcome to the forum!
You Kiwi's must be really tired of us ozzies unfurling the same old worn out ribbing we give you at every available opportunity.
I don't know what's wrong with us why we do it. It must be in our dna or something. Even now I find myself suppressing the urge to indulge. And you guys are just about always good natured about it.
Well done, and let's get welding!

+1.
And so many Kiwis are heroes of mine. Burt Munro, Bruce Anstey and especially Jon Britten. Genuine legends.
