Now that's enough of that kind of talk....there will be no looting, we are a civilised nation, plus I think the Red Cross are handing out free ones. No need for looting, this is a country where you are looked after.

I'm rather more concerned that there has been a rise in domestic violence, haven't the women of Canterbury suffered enough, are suffering, and now their beloved partners/husbands are taking their frustrations out on them...that is a shame.

Oi! Back on topic please. We have an impending doom coming at us and all you can worry about is some fella belting his missus......get things in order if you will!

In case of emergency, I hope you have two buckets.

.....maybe throwing the odd magpie , frog or possum in the tank is not such a bad idea....bit like soup....for when the food is gone...

Absolutely its a sign of things to come.
The plates will keep moving just like they have always done for the last trillion years.

Is that all?
When we moved here, I found 5 intact birds and a bony slush that must have been at least 10 more.

Judgement day is upon us

But fear not, and don't repent just yet, I will be starting my new ~~cult~~ church as soon as I find suitable premises

I will be titheing at a considerably lower rate than Bishop Tamaki, on The Warehouse model, saving souls at bargain basement prices.

Membership and direct debit forms will be posted in due course.....
