    The Un-lure of Aus.

    So, yer stuck with me for a while longer.

    Whilst it's true I have the stars of warburton and the eureka flag tattooed on my shoulders and will never change my allegiences on the sports field, I'll take you blokes up on the great hospitality a bit longer thanks.

    Firstly my PM is so out of f***ing touch that he doesn't know who Bono is!

    I'm not going home while that dickhead is in power.

    Secondly - all the places on the continent that I like to live are in the throes of the worst droughts in 1000 (one thousand) years. The place is drier than a dead dingo's donger. crispy and brown or the Coromandel? Ha! pAss the goretex and hipora thanks.

    And finally the co-pilot has a new gig as a COO of a bunch of health facilities with a 5 year plan of industry domination.

    Stranded in Paradise too. Might have to dick around with motorcycles or something.

    You make it sound as if it's a bad thing not to know who St Bono is. Guess we'll have to let you stay after such a brown nose effort.

    How's the Buell behaving?

    Welcome to staying longer in NZ!

    Congrats on your co-pilot's new job, but what is a COO?

    I heard that in Aussie everybody is advised to limit their showers to three minutes in duration ... the aim is for each person to sing those specially written three minute songs in the shower and when they've finished singing, times up. Now to find that broken vinyl LP record...
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    A COO is a Chief Operating Officer. Somebody who one salutes!

    Us Coromandel-ites are keen to keep pollution off the Peninsula. I hope that Hardly Ableson motor doesn't leak like a seive?

    Well, yes, she's the one who brought us here, well, South Auckland Health brought her here and the kids and I tagged along.

    I've course I've gone completely shithouse in NZ and have to content myself Art directing magazines, testing bikes and hanging around bike shops and bikers.

    Such a trial.

    good on yer mate.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Blackmail is an ugly word (and so is "Labour Gummint").
    Problem is - you can't see my face.
    It could be anyone's arse....

    small world, i used to work for SAH about 10 years ago in the IT area.

    I'm in Oz at the moment planning a move back to good old enzed. the water shortage is a concern. they reckon even melbourne is facing shortages as well. WA is getting pretty bone dry.

    besides, them ozzies speak funny!
