Maybe that's to do with the smaller islander population in Australia
Aye, but the usage is the same. We're more up tight about this stuff in the north, north island 
It's hardly used to describe someone getting off a yacht at Hamilton island.
I've only heard it used to refer to people of Chinese or Vietnamese background.
Not wanting to wade in on the AU vs NZ thing, I'll just say that fob is a bit racist, innit?
Rocky Horror is essential, without it you miss out on 70% of the "fun with the kinky kids" phase of your 20's.
Also:
The Evil Dead
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Trainspotting
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pity. Well rather than dwell on the dead (because people often get uncomfortable when I do that), let's add some Korean cinema to the mix!
I've loved Asian cinema for a long time, and like many people had limited my exposure to Japanese and Chinese takes on the medium. That changed several years ago, quite by accident, when I discovered the wonderfully broken South Korean style of picture.
In order:
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Oldboy
Lady Vengeance
In no particular order:
A Tale of Two Sisters
Oasis
Silmido
Shiri
Before adding to this ... film cornucopia, quick check to ensure itomnivore hasn't drowned in the flood?
Good morning Clare, welcome to the forum.
I remember when I had time to read, now the best I can manage is an occasional audiobook in the car. Don't judge me.
Unfortunatley you appear slightly delusional; the best pizza is clearly vegetarian with spinach, Greek fetta, Kalamata olives, and possibly fresh bird's eye chillie.
Have you experienced a memorable epiphany? What triggered it?
Whack-a-mole! Whack-a-mole! The danger of being bitten adds to the thrill, and let's face it, you would only be killing time until your enevitable demise anyway.
You have the option to replace a perfectly healthy limb with an artificial one with similar level of function / sensation. Do you?
Actual. Made up is boring, "oh gods, I had this date where Starscream turned up and started singing Vietnamese folk music kareoke, then the fucking sun exploded, again".
Non dominant. I'd then invest heavily in future tech prosthetic companies and dream cyborg dreams of sheep.
Worst date ever?
Smup.
Pronunciation: /sm^p/
vulgar slang.
verb (smups, smupping, smupped)
1. vigorous anal fisting.
2. (cunting smup) to be deemed useless for anything other than fisting.
adjective
warm but generally unpleasant.
What biopic would you like to see made, and by whom?
Conversely Vidina, in just 500 meters from your house you could board a plane, nap for two hours, hop on a Norwegian ferry, then train it from Newcastle to London.
In all honesty, we would love to spend serious time in Norway and Sweden, but there's not the annual leave available this year (we only get 4 weeks a year). Maybe you can host the next one? 
<Update>
We'll be in Paris from the 5th of October to the 10th, Edinburgh from the 25th to the 28th, and London from the 30th to the 6th.

Hey all,
The wife and I are flying in to Heathrow on the 5th of October, and back out again on the 6th of November. What are your thoughts on a EuroDiF bender at some point during those dates?
We're going to be doing the touristy thing and travelling around, but it looks like we've got free time at the start of November to get positively shit-faced on English (or possibly French) cider.
Any takers?
Cartoon - Calvin and Hobbes.
If you meant animation - Akira.
Both changed my understanding of what their formats could be.
You are told to get a tattoo. What do you get, where, and why?
Tyrants have ruled over smoldering wastelands for thousands of years and still do in the filthy corners. North Korea is a starving hellhole. Parts of the Middle East are festering wounds. Parts of Africa are gangrenous ulcers. The Eastern Bloc was 31 flavors of human misery for 70 years. Medieval European monarchies were largely muckholes of disease and slaughter. Ancient empires were mostly slave-driven, human-sacrificing war economies.
But the tyrant (or over-achiever, I think many are simply misunderstood) destroys in service of building. Be it building towards an ideal, a philosophy, or pure achievement - it's essentially a creative act. The tyrant's people often serve to further the progress of the goal's attainment, their role is to become the building blocks of a better tomorrow.
Let's be honest, people are essentially cattle. Better to use them to achieve something great, whether by their labour, greed, or their insatiable need for "stuff". Using their otherwise small, meaningless lives to build an empire, country, or company is only logical.
Holy crap. Backed.
In IT parlance Paul is, for lack of a better phrase, the sales guy.
If it's an option, it's probably not a bad idea to get one while you have the car as well.

But we already know, since he made one. Kill Bill is absolutely a superhero movie.
Inglorious bastards also fits in it's own weird way. And we all know how much everyone loved that.
Honestly, I'd pitch it as "Zarban saves everything!" which covers our token roles as background extras.
Peter Jackson optioned the rights to release a 16 hour cut titled "Zarban, Zarban, Zarban!". Expect it some time in 2016.
