People in New Zealand are retarded then. It's not a Bugi man its a Bogey

All U.S. Americans, when they were kids, were routinely threatened with
the
coming of a bogey man. If you were bad the bogey man was gonna get you,
etc.

Bugi Man??? Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahh! No wonder Kiwi's can't
sail.
They can't even think.

Ah! Wilbur the english teacher.

But you spelled "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahh" incorrectly. If you
want to be taken seriously then you simply must learn to spell.... or
use one syllable words that you do know how to spell.

Didn't your Mama teach you that it is better to keep your mouth shut
and be thought a fool then to open it and prove to the world how
stupid you really are?

Bruce,
Your friend is, in addition to many of his other deficits, entirely
ignorant of any knowledge about New Zealand.

1. The pronunciation was and is "Bugi" - not Bogey as is used
elsewhere.

2. In 1997 I attended an IT conference at Harvard University where I
was informed by Professorial staff that the USA was adopting much of
the New Zealand literacy teaching methods as New Zealand had a 98.9%
literacy rate.

3. Your America's Cup racing boat builder is Bruce Farr, a New
Zealander.

4. For a country of 3 million, we have produced such people who first
split the atom and who managed NAS for several years during the space
race.

There are many other inventions by New Zealanders such as ailerons on
aircraft, the jet boat and the self sealing paint tin - in which comes
all of your boating paint - to name a few.

Bruce, please tell your pathetic miserable excuse for a human
existance to nott show your ignorance and the fact that he is merely a
silly little uneducated twit whose sole existence is within the pages
of this newsgroup. He hqas done nothing and as he is also a coward,
never will.

cheers
Peter



I think where the confusion lies is in the psyche of New Zealanders. Instead
of calling it the Buggi man they should call it the Bugger man.

Since New Zealanders' forefathers consisted of dregs of humanity emptied
from overcrowded British jails into exile on a God forsaken southern
hemisphere island one must examing British slang to glean the meanings of
bugger and how they apply to New Zealanders or rather, how they define New
Zealanders.

bugger
Noun. 1. An objectionable person.
2. A person. Also used in a sense of pity, see 'sod'.
3. A situation or event that is difficult or distressing. E.g. "It's a real
bugger Pete catching the flu on his summer holidays."
Exclam. Expressing annoyance or frustration.
Verb. To ruin, damage, break. E.g."If I find out it was you that buggered my
DVD player, then you can forget borrowing money from us to go on holiday."
