@Canes4life said in Hurricanes vs Crusaders:
@Bones Ahhh Queensgate such a delightful experience. To be fair though the earthquake damage has completely shat on that place.
Speaking of which, you can't beat a wendy's cheese dog. Got to be better than beef on a hot plate.

I don't know what is sadder, you mocking my cuisine in another thread or me actually coming across and commenting on it. Typicial ferning really.
Wendy's ? no wonder you've hit the ton, that's not even real food.

If we're going all nerdy with graphs, then I'll post this, too.
Two years ago, I was asked to read NIWA reports to compare the weather of in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It showed that the maximum temperature in Auckland is on average 3 degrees higher than in Wellington, and two degrees higher than in Chch. And although the amount of rain in mm per year was marginally higher in Wellington than in Auckland, Auckland had most rainy days per year of the three biggest main centres, and particularly more rainy days than Chch. Chch had the most hours of sun per year, Auckland the least of the three main centres (but again, the difference with Wellington was small). The number of days with gale force storm per year is clearly higher in Wellington, but more or less the same in Chch and Auckland.
So the amount of water coming down in Wellington may be slightly higher, Auckland has more rainy days. I wish I'd also had a look at humidity, because one big advantage of Wellington over many other places in NZ is that it doesn't have that awful humidity when it's warm.
Nothing beats the weather in the Bay, of course.

Forgive the pun, but I find Wellington's wind reputation to be overblown. I moved here a couple of years ago, and yes, it can be a bit - shall we say -breezy. But the truly blustery days - at least those that affect you when you live in/near the CBD - are probably a couple of handfuls a year.

Palmy is as windy (there's a reason the wind farms are there) just with none of the redeeming features of Wellington.

GT's! That is all I would take from Palmy and plant in Wellington.

@Stargazer Akl's climate sucks Never hot, often humid and rains too often.
Wellington from Parliament to Vic Tunnel is an awesome place. They've done a great job with a beautiful harbour and I have enjoyed more pleasant days there than truly awful ones, but ye Gods when it turns nasty it is unpleasant.
Was at the Basin for the last day of the Test against SA two years ago and the queue for coffee took 30 minutes but you could get a beer without any wait because the punters were desperate for any warmth.

Thank you to who ever moved this shit from the rugby thread! The fern should be about rugby, strippers, tinder dates, bleeding foreskins - not the weather in some shitty little town who's only claim to fame is being on the same island I was born.

I once had a seven piece fish burger from there and it still sits in my memory as being very satisfying.
