If you spend 5 minutes with Nick you know he’s a Ricky Gervais wannabe. Maybe it’s that Nick is rapidly approaching his 30’s that he sees a bit of himself in the master of cringe. Lets’ face it getting older means getting cheesier, you know it’s true. There’s nothing you can do to reverse the process. In fact the more you try to slow the cheese making process down the mouldier the cheese gets. As the ad says, “good cheese takes time”. Embrace it.
In some ways Nick is an easy target. He’s a living sitcom. The material doesn’t need to be written, the reality is even funnier. Often he relays stories to me, or in some cases other people tell me Nick Buck stories that seem ridiculous. His tenacity and haplessness combine to create the perfect comedy anti-hero, always landing perfectly on his Asics.
Happy Birthday Nick. It has been a great 25 years. You’re really only though the first season of your life so far. The move to Auckland in 2005 was a bonus Christmas episode.

I wish this blog came complete with a medal function, because I'd award one for the line: "His tenacity and haplessness combine to create the perfect comedy anti-hero, always landing perfectly on his Asics." Brilliant. Who said nothing good comes from the North Shore?
