@crazy-horse I always have to spell my last name, and always have to start with 'B for Bravo' otherwise people use a 'V'
I give out my mobile 3-3-3, the wifes number is 3-3-4, my landline is 3-4...is much harder to take down a number when it isnt in the format your mind uses for numbers.
Thanks for the tip, Bobby Bagina.

Some random kiwi is going to get a phone call from a Polish chick now. Or an irate Indian cricket fan...

All you pricks fucking up the number cadence probably refer to the right hand lane of a multi lane road as the 'inside lane'. There is just no helping some people.

Fluffybunnies. Everyone knows the correct term is actually "Nearside Lane"

@crazy-horse I refer to it as "oncoming traffic" usually, although occasionally "the opposition".

I think this thread has revealed there are a considerable amount of random kiwis.

I often find that people struggle to know/understand the word "triple". It's quite eye opening.
Like when asking for a "couple" of things.
"How many?"
Two!!! You fucking moran
Indeed.
Couple: two objects who are married or otherwise closely associated romantically or sexually. -
