There is always an awful stench (cat box or urine) and accentuated in 100° plus weather.
Yuk. Cats are outdoor creatures and hunters and shouldn't be kept inside as toys. It's cruel and people who do that deserve this:
On the other hand, cats should not be allowed outdoors in countries like Australia because they kill native fauna.
(And they're fluffybunnies)
Australian native fauna is higher up the fluffybunny chain than cats (and that’s saying something)

@Crucial i also heard the fame went straight to their heads and they became dicks, real "do you know who i am" vibes

Fuck yes.
Soundtrack to (sadly ) more than one Barbie I’ve been to…..
Let’s just throw some unseasoned steak and lamb chops on the grill, eat some ready salted ETA chips and wash it down with an Export Gold…..then shit will REALLY start to get bland when we chuck a bit of SIX60 on.
No kiwi tall poppy syndrome here, I love Shihad, Dragon, The Dudes etc…….not them.
Even more blandly detestable than the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, possibly cos they’re played so much more of late.

SIX60 are boring as fuck
I don't actually know of any of their music, but... as they are apparently quite popular, I assume I've been hearing them all the fucking time since being back in NZ, but just never noticed it.
THAT is how boring as fuck they are.Whenever I visit NZ - I'd always visit a record store, and buy nearly every album by a NZ artist released since the last time I was in NZ.
Except Six60. I somehow instinctively knew they were boring as fuck. THAT is how boring as fuck they are.Fat Freddys Drop, The Black Seeds, Salmonella Dub. That's the limit of "NZ BBQ background reggae/dub" that I'm willing to abide.
Everything after that is even more bland. Ready Salted chips... with the salt removed. And, as the most successful, I assume Six60 is the most bland. THAT is how boring as fuck they are. -

Ah right sorry, you whooshed me.
A bit like how Russell Crowe was a kiwi when he was winning Oscars but an Aussie when he became fat, tried to assault Moby, indulged in shit poetry and ( worst of all ) released terrible music ?
yeah I’m ok with that.

And then Central/South America stepped in and said "hold me cerveza.... we give you... Reggaeton!".

Ah yes - the classic "Reverse Virgil".
Where The Virgil is bringing anything good with the most tenuous connection to NZ into the fold as something completely Kiwi, the "ReVirgil" is instead distancing anything Kiwi if it can be linked to someone else. Russell Crowe, for example.

While we’re ranting……( possibly more appropriate for the grumpy old man thread )
I hate the term “easy” anything.
“Oh I really like this beer, it’s so easy to drink” ( as opposed to all those ones that are a big problem to drink )
( Fleetwood Mac/Eagles/SIX60/Jack Johnson etc come on the radio )
“Oh I love this, great background music, so easy listening” ( as opposed to anything else, I’m having a really difficult time listening to this but I’ll get through it )
Fuck off.

When you wrote your first comment about Six60 I was waiting for this comment knowing your hatred of the whole genre.

I think one of the members is actually Australian, as in born and raised over there.

Fuck off.
A derivative of this i hate is the common Aussie term "too easy". For example you ask if you can have pepper at a cafe or order a beer and they reply "too easy". WTF, just say yep, sure, or any other normal word and bring me the pepper or beer.
What's worse is on my last trip home I discovered it had entered the NZ lexicon as well.
