Did I hear correctly? Happy Feet got munched only metres into his first big swim?

Mind you gun ownership is pretty low over there

For me and the rest of the 'burb dwellers it's pretty much illegal.

25c and not a cloud today.

Two main reasons I am not off to Aussie like a shot.

Gun ownership

Vehicle modification

It was 1.9C here this morning and the wind went through ya like a knife.f.

Possibly,,,last I heard was some DOC bloke saying the transmiter had probably just fallen off as it was only glued on,,,an here's me thinking they used nails.
Anyway if this is the case then I guess Happy meals turned it off first,,or it simply doesn't transmit from inside a great white.

Nah, that's just ice-cream.

yeah i agree...........a fucking penguin should be called Roger

Put these two posts together and I think of Roger the cat from Open Season ("eyeth cweeem" ).


I suppose you have to have seen Open Season...

Check out the DEPTH of water in those parts ...

Does this answer your questions?

That's one of the reasons I no longer live on that Island south of Cook Strait ...

Let's face it, penguins don't usually live out long happy years into retirement and the chances are that 'Happy Caviar Feet' is very likely to get chomped within a few hours of being released.
....

Incorrect. An emperor peguin doesn't actually have that many predators and the chances of meeting one where the singal stopped transmitting is not high. Leopard seals don't get anywhere near that far north at this time of year.

The transmitter used is designed to fall off at some point, it seems to have done so earlier than expected. This is by far the most likely senario.

Gun ownership

Vehicle modification

Ha! I fired a gun once - in 1978 and I owned the Buell for 5 years and all I did to it was paint the windscreen.

Might upgrade the fork springs on the KLR though. :-)

Mind you gun ownership is pretty low over there - and most animals ain't allowed to be shot. (It's a wonder our ducks don't fuck off over there each duck-shooting season - they're not allowed to be shot over in Aussie.

Nah - we just use cars and bikes to kill the wildlife - if they're dumb enough to run/jump/fly into you, most ozzies will happily oblige........


hmmm - ozzie....rhymes with mossie......whining annoying pesky little sods that need a good slap...........coincidence?........ I think not.......

Don't let the door hit you as you are leaving.

which door? the one you are about to slam in his face? Nah some of us have to stay here to run the infrastructure for the tourists.

Isn't the Gold Coast NZ's 3rd biggest city - something like that anyhoo - was the gag.
