<&>Wellington Corpus of Spoken New Zealand English Version One <&>Copyright 1998 School of Linguistics & Applied Language Studies <&>Victoria University of Wellington <&>side two <&>4:36 i went to a party last friday did you <{><[>was it exciting <[>it was a crossdress party yeah i heard about <{><[>that <[>all the guys got dressed up as women how did you hear about it you told me <{1><[1>laughs you were here before you went <{2><[2>laughs laughs <[1>oh <.>y <[2>oh right some of them looked better as women than they do as guys laughs did they wear make up and stuff yeah all their mothers made them up all their <&>5:00 mothers said things like oh i've always wanted a daughter and <{1><[1><.>started started sort of putting on lots and lots of <{2><[2>make up and making them all beautiful and lending them dresses and things and it was really funny <{3><[3>it was really strange patrick <.>look patrick looked really good <[1>laughs oh that's mean <[2>laughs <[3>laughs patrick was there was he yeah did he take lots of photos <{><[>laughs so he can hand them round at people <[>oh yeah <.>and zed head took some photos yeah oh cool i was thinking i might take some photos at my party is there still a film in that camera you haven't used it have you no i haven't oh i might take some photos tomorrow oh yeah or no saturday saturday yeah i will <{><[>mm <[>yeah <.>and and <.>s zed head got drunk <.>and and said come up on the roof and look at the lights it's really beautiful so i climbed up the ladder onto the roof and up the roof and the roof was all wet and slippery and then i couldn't get down again and i freaked out really badly <{1><[1>laughs and he was wandering along the pointy bit at the top saying it's <{2><[2>fine what's your problem and i'm saying help laughs <{3><[3>laughs laughs yeah <.>he he like walking on high <.>se high narrow things when he's drunk <{4><[4>to prove that he's not drunk mm <[1>laughs <[2>laughs <[3><&>imitates sister's screaming in next utterance you're drunk <&>6:00 <[4>laughs oh does it work yeah usually always in fact it's depressing but i can't <.>h i don't like going DOWN things that are slippery yeah <,> mm so i had to sort of crawl down laughs feeling really really humiliated you should have got him to carry you that would be fun oh gross laughs imagine if he fell off with both <.>of with me and him <,> mm mm <,> tut yeah well that's better than you falling over separately and him falling off separately not really well <{><[>at least you've got each other to hold on to <[>because i was <.>falling yeah but us falling over separately would be less painful because it's <.>like one wouldn't land on top of the other oh but you'd <.>be probably be on top if he was carrying you <{><[>so that doesn't matter laughs laughs <[>yeah but that's not necessarily a good thing laughs i think it does matter well he's probably too bony anyway it'd be like landing on a <{><[>pincushion <[>probably yeah he's got a <&>7:00 big hole <.>th about there middle of his chest a hole? yeah sort of a dent like you mean where all of the blood comes <{><[>out laughs <[>laughs no no a dent where his heart was solar plexus you mean probably it's about there <{><[>it's where you're supposed to punch people <[>mm YEAH? to wind <{><[>them really badly <[>oh i'll remember that ah ha ha cos <.>it's it's quite mean <{><[>it's a vulnerable spot because there aren't really any muscles there at all like they sort of come across here <[>yeah right and there's this little triangle here <,> <.>it's but be careful because you can um if you hit someone really hard you can um break your hand on the bottom of their ribcage i don't know i've actually never read about but i'm just making this up as i go along in <{><[>fact laughs <.>but but i imagine it could be quite painful if you hit someone in the ribs and it broke their rib and it stuck into you something like that <[>laughs i'll keep that in mind mm be quite horrible yeah but anyway you probably won't be going around hitting people <{><[>word no <[>no i don't like hitting people tut did you know that we saw haggis in james smith's on <{><[>tuesday <&>8:00 <[>yes mum told me YOU <{><[>told me she asked him if he wanted a cup of coffee <[>laughs i know it was <{><[>really bad <[>the horrible thing i didn't speak to bob for about a year after we stopped going out voc and then <{1><[1>the first thing i talked to him about was lemmings <{2><[2>laughs <[1>i think we were <.>wa <[2>i don't know WHY mum likes him even because i can't stand him laughs <,,><&>5 a sleaze laughs make sure it comes out on the tape oh right laughs yeah <&>rest of utterance addressed to tape recorder he's a SLEAZE <{><[>everyone laughs oh <[>word oh no laughs word that was really word anyway cam might be coming is that the <{><[>one you went <.>to <[><.>cam cam with the hair with the <{><[>mohawk <[>with his girlfriend oh yeah <.>his his detachable JUST well i haven't actually

<[>word no the one who lives at the hotel her father's ben horn who owns the hotel <,> <{><[>and she's in love with agent cooper <[>i've seen half <.>an i've seen half an episode tut you should watch a bit more <{1><[1>then you'd know what i was talking <{2><[2>about <[1>why <[2>mum was complaining about how GRUESOME the murder was oh yeah and then they exorcised the demon out of this guy <.>who last episode that was quite fun i'm sure she loved that laughs and it was really weird um <.>it <,> it's just that they don't know what happened but they actually DO know what happened all the sprinklers went on because um you don't know any of the characters so it's really hard to explain this to you <.>but but lucy was having this conference with andy and dick who are the possible fathers of her child sounds like molly dodd <{><[>laughs <[><.>and laughs and <&>10:00 dick was smoking and it was <.>se and they'd just had this new sprinkler system installed and all the sprinklers went on so they're having this big dramatic scene and everyone was getting really really WET and <,> like leyland palmer who was sort of <.>ob possessed by the spirit thing was sort of having convulsions on the floor and all these rain coming down is she someone's <{><[>cousin <[>it's really weird leyland is <.>a a man laura's father <,,> <{><[>is who someone's cousin both the cousins have DIED okay

wife josie and <&>12:00 katherine didn't get any of it even though she works there and <.>like she's <.>the the manager and everything but josie owns the whole thing so the <.>whole a sort of subplot of the whole thing is that katherine's trying to <,> um get the mill off josie you see right but at the SAME TIME laughs josie is trying to burn down the mill to get the insurance <{1><[1>cos she
