I suspect a few members would like to see format changed,so messages will always be on top.
The old xn and xn2 groups used to work this way,but it only needed one poster to post a petty 'political' message to keep it going to massage his/her egos.

It was just for that reason me,and I suspect,many others got fed up with XN/XN2,and left.

Sure,the new site takes a bit of working out,but please don,t change it!!

I used to live in a downstairs flat many years ago. The upstairs neighbours were young and inconsiderate  :hdbg. They always had their TV volume so high that I needed to watch the same channel as them, but I didn't really need the volume cos I could hear theirs. They were always smart arses to the tenants of the other 3 units on the property.

They used to have parties and jump up and down on the floor boards keeping me awake. The parties usually finished around 4.00am. I had had enough after one of their parties that went on until 4.00am. It was loud and I didn't find out until a few days later when the landlord knocked on my door demanding to know why I hadn't rung him to complain  :tut, that Noise Control and Police  :pl had been called. They moved out a short time later  :wv

However, on that particular occasion I had to get up at 6.00am  :kuku for an early shift. I hadn't slept at all cos of the noise so I had nothing to lose by getting up at 5.30am. By that stage the partygoers had crashed on the floor and sofas in the flat above. I had one of those old Hoover-matic washing machines - you know the ones - the sounded like a helipcopter starting up and taking off. Well - I did 3 loads of washing. I could hear the groaning upstairs as I woke the poor wee cherubs with my noisy washing machine. For effect, I even stopped it for about 15 minutes just so they could drift off back to their drunken noddy-land sleep  :dzed. After the 15 minutes I continued to do the washing  :bgrn

Once I'd finished doing my washing it was time to go to work. I slammed the door on the way out (that's not very nice for hang-over headaches I am told), slammed the car door as I got in then tooted on my way out  :nyinyi.

Just got back from the local mall which went into police lockdown as we arrived.   Thank goodness I had one kid with me and the other 2 were at home. 

No they hadn't found the p addict.  Idiot teen gangs are brawling.  Some teenager told one of the SKUXX idiots that their gang was stupid and they could go f**k themselves.   They decided to pound on him, only to have some other teen gang decide he was right and they pounded on them. 

These twats are the reason my kids can't go shopping without me in the local mall.  If they want to go shopping they have to go Riccarton, or further afield because the local mall is just herding kids out if there are 3 or more together.   Ever seen teen girls clothes shopping?  It takes a village to decide on a top.

Me neither.

In fact - when I was around 13 years old I once had the shit beaten out of me by two guys and I didn't throw one single punch - not the one.
They called me a wimp because I didn't fight back - but personally, I just couldn't see the point. They were acting like animals and I was above that.
They thought they were sooo cool....

I went home with a broken nose that night - but shit, I was sooo proud of myself!
I could have killed them if I had of let 'that side' of me take over...

The last person I whacked was my step father - knocked him for a six-er outside KFC in Nelson. No words - just tap-tap on the shoulder and then WHACK. That was it - he was down and out on the foot path in the middle of the day and I walked away. That was my 'payback' for his breaking my jaw (in 13 places) and throwing me through windows and ranch sliders and basically abusing me in some rather bad ways.


People who physically fight are incredible immature.
Losers.



Violence achieves nothing - it only generates more pain.

But my back was sore after all the curtain washing, wallpaper striping, sanding and varnishing of window sills (OK, I only did one of them because I've never varnished window sills before so I wanted to make sure I got it right before tackling all of them (4 big big windows in the dining room alone). 

So I took 2 codine tablets my daughter got for her kidney pain.  The pain is all but gone.

But they give her nightmares.  And now I'm being a sook. :eek

I left work at 6.30 after a whole day of proofing and editing slides of data and statistical analysis.

I'm puckered.

My daughter made me feel better though.

As some of you know, this is my daughter:

(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8303/toocute.jpg)

Yes, I think she is beautiful.

It's probably just as well after her ditzy day today.   After school she tidied her room - could smell this 'delicious' smell which was what she was trying to find - hence the tidy room.  She searched for nearly an hour before she realised that the 'delicious' smell was the product she was wearing in her hair.    :rllg 

**frowns** That's my product anyway child! 

She doesn't get the ditzy from me................**glares at Mr DT**

*sigh* roll on the first week of May. Mr S. has to be up at 4:30 again. Why is it so much easier when I just have to get me up! I can get up at 5:30, have a coffee, shower and be out the door by 6:30 (without waking Himself). Mr S. gets woken up at 4:30, but by the time he has had coffee & toast (made by me) put his lunch in his bag (made by moi) put his drink in his bag (ditto) found his keys (guess who usually finds them ::) ) it's at least 90 minutes. And they're the stronger sex - Yeah Right!! >:D

I hate my alarm clock.  It's a duel alarm, which is great if we are getting up at different times, but for some reason it has decided that when an alarm point is reached it has to go into panic mode and play 2 different radio stations (no amount of fiddling will keep it correct) AND the buzzer.

Gets you out of bed.   >:(  Doesn't do nuffin for the temperament though.

PMSL!!

I haven't used my alarm clock in ages - my working hours are so stuffed up that I'm normally awake, up and about by 4ish these days.
I've managed to get my 'needed' sleep down to around 4 hours a night - give or take, or I can push myself right through and top up with a 8-9 hour sleep the next night.

I love the early morning - it's the best time of the day I reckon.

It's getting up there, but runs XP, has plenty of ram, a decent graphics card and various other improvements I've made (yeah - I'm not computer illiterate and can pull one apart and put it back together).  No other site does it, and we can even play online games with no real issues, and if there is an issue it normally rectifies as soon as you exit the site.  But facebook mucks up the system totally and even after exiting it wont run normally.

Well that's even worse.... you clown.

Try it in IE and your problem will (should) be gone.


Why do people use non-mainstream browsers?

Web developers can only develop sites targeting so many browsers - normally the main ones, IE and FF. With a really feature rich site (like FB) then you narrow down your target browsers to just the two main ones with only usability tests on the others...

IE is by far the main bowser, your user experince would be much improved if you stuck to this...

You tried IE 8?

It does everything all the others do - plus more - and it even works!

Makes no sense thou - you're running a Microsoft OS, so it's only logical a Microsoft browser would provide a better, more stable/integrated combination....

Clunky bastard innit?

Smudgy text.
Slow to load. 
Slow to open pages.
Slow to switch tabs.
Installed Outlook Express without asking.

Pretty much seems to be running like Slimbrowser after a session on facebook.  And I ain't even gone there yet! 

I don't imagine it's going to be staying on my system for long and it sure isn't going to be my default browser if this is as good as it gets.

Version 3!!! Lol... gee - now there's a blast from the past.

IE 6 was an improvement - for the day...
IE 7 was microsoft finally coming into line with WC3 standards...
and IE8 is a good step forward in a lot of ways - and it shouldn't install anything you don't want.

I assume the above list isn't you talking about IE8 - Smudgy text certainly isn't a browser issue... and if it's slow to load, tabs a slow to switch, slow to open pages - then that's your puter, time for an upgrade me thinks.

Not sure what package you downloaded if it installed outlook.....

Take care Ali.  Middle daughter keeps getting a problem with her voice.  Every virus, however mild, goes straight to her voicebox at the minute and she keeps losing her voice.  Which is nice enough at times lol - but is irksome and annoying.  She's had a couple of head colds over the last month or so, which is unusual and an asthma attack 2 nights ago which is as rare as hell for her.

Her brother and father have both been grotty about asthma too.   As has one of the guys at work.  I'm thinking the sudden cold and wet has hit them all hard.

FF is better than that other thing you were using...

It is known to crash on a few sites thou - Facebook being one of them, but it's much better than slim!

Smiley Central is distributed by Fun Web Products, a division of Interactive Corp (IAC), a company which owns many other safe and reliable websites like Ask.com, Citysearch and Ticketmaster.

The way this product make money is by installing a MyWay search toolbar on your browser in addition to the fun stuff. This is not spyware or adware. It is simply a useful tool which is bundled in so that the product can remain free. When people use the search toolbar and click on sponsored links, IAC makes money. This is the same way Google and Yahoo make money on their search products too.

My 14 year old daughter put her YMCA self-defence lessons to good use today.

A man (20-30) stalked her and walked really close to her against her back and was whispering in her ear. She stomped and kicked.  He ran.

The security guards at the bus exchange, and therefore the cops are aware. She didn't get a look at him, but it appears he is known to them.

When I was 21, I was on a bus travelling on a bus in Wellington. Some creep put his hand on my leg. I grabbed the hand and held it up high (he fought me too!) and loudly said, "Whose filthy hand does this belong to!"

He got off the bus at the next stop. He had a red face.

Oh No ... do you mean the filthy grimey clothes, greasy hair, alcoholic nose and odour of alcohol was just a disguise and that he was really a mega millionaire? And and and ... that he wasn't stumbling along drunk but was walking funny cos he was hung like a horse?

Yep - they tend to hide themselves amongst the others, testing your levels compassion and tolerance.

At the first sign of compassion and understanding they suddenly turn into tall strong handsome Prince Charmings who sweep you off your feet and whisk you away to the tallest castle on the tallest mountain where you live happily ever after.

The richest guy I know lives in a caravan and is an incredibly scruffy bugger lol.  But he would never touch and is far too cultured in voice and manner to be mistaken for an alcoholic pervert.  Dazza's living in la-la land.

That aside - I twice got touched on public transport in Wellington.  I seemed to attract the turban wearing variety of toucher (an Indian friend says they would have been FOB's and women DON'T travel alone on public transport in India for that very reason.)  Anyway, the first one got bodily thrown off the train at Kaiwharawhara Station by the conductor on the Wairarapa station (not one of our stops).  Barely any trains stop at that station lol.  I had yelled down the carriage to my friend asking if there were any spare seats where she was as there was a freaky touching creep in my seat and he had too many hands.

The second one I jumped up out of my bus seat and yelled "Get your filthy hands off me",  at which the bus driver slammed on the brakes, sending me ass over kite over the seat in front of me (wearing skirt and high-heels) - I was sprawled over that seat with my legs half over the one in front of that - what a bloody sight that must have been.  Driver got up and threw the man off, then marched back to his seat.  Glared at me in the mirror till I had righted my self and crawled back into my correct pew.  Asked if I was OK, then proceeded to give the school girls sitting at the back of the bus a hell lecture about letting him know what is going on so he can act.

Mr DT and I went down to Westfield Mall to pick out a camera for daughters birthday.  We knew what we wanted (or more to the point what she wanted), it was just finding it at a price I was willing to pay.

The third shop we visited (Camera House) had it labelled for $299.99, with a flappy sign over that which said 'save $100' and a second price of $199.99 under the first. 

Cool, I'll take it.  No - the 'save $100' is actually discount vouchers - that you have to pay for.  So they wanted $299.99 to give me the camera and $100 worth of vouchers I didn't want and had no use for.

On I went.  Found it at the cheapest price at Farmers of all places.  Not $199.99, but less than $50 more.  The guy was flabbergasted Camera House was using that marketing ploy at this time.  He said it's a system that barely works at a time when everyone is flush and was pretty much pointless currently.   **shrugs shoulders* didn't work on me anyway.

I promised my grandaughter that I would buy her 'the best' hair straighteners, for her birthday, if she got a really really good report ( her first one at secondary school)  .

She wasn't very confident at all but her report is very very very EXCELLENT   ....

Anyone know how much the best type of hair staighteners will cost me?????  I only have a month to save. 

I am so proud of her she is in an extension class as is only 12 ( 13 next month)  has a hard home life ansd manages to get great marks .

Ouch!  Thats what.

If her heart is set on a ghd - $350ish.  There are other top models out there - but that has the strongest reputation and 'peer status'.


Title: Re: : ** THIS MESSAGE MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE TOP 10 **
Post by: beaker on April 24, 2009, 09:43:09 pm
Yep, you are looking at a GHD which you can only get from a salon.  And they are blinkin expensive.  A couple of my workmates have them and think their are the next best thing.


Title: Re: : ** THIS MESSAGE MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE TOP 10 **
Post by: dragontamer on April 24, 2009, 11:16:10 pm
You could maybe barter your way out of it by offering her one that is a more reasonable price with the promise of a GHD if she proves she can look after the less expensive one.

I did that with my girl, I got her the GHD after 2 years of using the other ones.  She isn't allowed to take the GHD out with her friends.  She isn't allowed to leave it on the floor.  She has all these rules about the safe use of it and she had to prove that she was mature enough to get a $350 hair straightener.  She still takes good care of it now, but the habits were formed using the cheaper models. 

Admittedly the $40 lasted about 3 months.  The $150 lasted much longer and was treated with more respect, which earned her the GHD (along with good behaviour and school reports).

That is a good thought dragontamer.

With SD, I got her a Remmington one from briscoes during one of their sales.  It was 50% off and normally retailed for about $90.  She's had it about 18 months and for someone who is pretty hard on her things, it still goes well.

My boss is going to be really upset with my attitude come Monday.

We all got an email today from the office manager.  " everyone on their best behaviour and dress for Monday - we are making a DVD - you just have to give a little spiel about yourselves".

Oh no we are not!  No where in my contract does it say anything at all about making DVD's or anything like that. 

I already clean her freaken toilet for her because she's too tight to spring for a cleaner.  I'm not going in front of a camera for her at all.  Period.

FFS! Isn't life in the country supposed to be fucking quiet. I had a late night last night. Emma (middle daughter), and Matt (her partner), came over for dinner, drinks and singstar ABBA (http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/XtraNewsCommunity2/MSN%20emoticons/05emsmilep.gif) (well, for Emma and me lol)
So I was a bit late to bed, still had to get up at 5:30 to go to work, but reasoned that I could have a bit of a nanna-nap this arvo.
YEAH RIGHT! Without any notice, they're holding a cycle race. We live on a real shit of a sharp corner, at the bottom of a very steep hill! The cyclists are coming down the hill and turning the very sharp right hand corner! So there are two elderly gentlemen (for want of a better term, IMO they deserve to have toothbrush mustaches and swept back hair(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/XtraNewsCommunity2/MSN%20emoticons/07emangry.gif)) bellowing at the top of their lungs for the riders to keep left and not cut the corner. They are right outside my bedroom window. So I moved to the couch, next to the verandah window, I can still hear them.....so can the dogs. They yell .. the dogs bark.
I am considering getting in Dick's Safari and running them over, or letting the dogs out so they have to retreat to their car (and if the fuckers who can't work out to stay left and not cut the corner get hit by a sheeptruck trying to get up a bit of momentum for the hill - so be it!)

I might put Black Sabbath on VERY loudly, so those two pricks can enjoy their afternoon as much as I'm enjoying mine.(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/XtraNewsCommunity2/MSN%20emoticons/02emteeth.gif)

Title: Re: : ** THIS MESSAGE MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE TOP 10 **
Post by: DazzaMc on May 14, 2009, 09:40:55 am
Yer - if I can nut out how to stop him biting I'm sure he would be fun. Both K and myself have scars on our fingers from bites, he actually draws blood! Lol... poor K has a hole clean through one of his finger nails and other hole on the bottom side of his finger to match. He pounces on your fingers as soon as he sees them and he actually chases your hand around the cage - he's like a little bloody evil red-eyed vampire!

I'm great at training Dogs, Dolphins, Cats, Seals... - but rats...  they are a lot harder to 'connect' with. I'm finding it rather hard to nut out what's going on in his head, there's no 'vibe' so to speak, much like spiders and insects. Any tips would be great!

I've taken his 'home' out of the cage so he has no-where that he can 'defend' now - he's also in open view all the time now so he can see us all the time instead of hiding away, hoping that might help as well.

It's possible he's still unsure about his new surroundings so right at the moment his cage is on the coffee table next to the sofa (and in front of the fire - seems he likes it) in the hope that the more he sees and hears us the quicker he will become used to us. This weekend we are going to go and grab some nice thick leather gloves which hopefully he cant bite through so we can start handling him more in the hope that might work. If that doesn't work then he's going to disappear back to where he came from and be replaced with something more 'normal'.

Is it a HE??  they are more aggressive - we had a lassie.

They can bite with infection - so take care about that.  Nasty little buggers.
Mine was so tame I could take her to Uni and she wandered round the tables with the other students.  ;D  Some freaked out.

Food mate - train him with food.  But something he dont get regularly.  N do the same as you would a dog - I bite my dogs when they get too stroppy and bite - bite him back and go a ahhhhhh naughty.

I imagine rat mums do the same when the babies get too stroppy.  Just a lil nip.  :P

Post by: DazzaMc on May 14, 2009, 10:10:52 am
Bite him back?!

I'll end up with pierced nose and lips!! lol.

Didn't know the males were more aggressive - thanks for that love. I've tried food but he's more interested in fingers at this point.
He's a work in progress - will see what becomes of him in a week or so, if there's no change then the pet shop can have him back.

Yep - you hold his snout and face in one hand, turned away from you, and nip his flesh just at the bit under his arm. Of course you have to be careful!!!!

ALtenatively - have you rung the pet shop to see if they have a female??  Just do a swap.  I would - the bites can cause real problems  :(

Post by: dragontamer on May 14, 2009, 10:12:10 pm
I've never seen an aggressive rat be gentled.   I've had three.  Gypsy was a honey who never bit.  She would hold your finger in her hands and lick if she suspected there may be food. 

Pixie would nip (but not break skin) if she didn't want to be handled.  She got over it really fast though once you picked her up. 

Mystic was psychotic.   Evil bitch was so high strung she would attack the bars on her cage.  She had to be kept away from the other rats so she wouldn't kill them.  I swear her BP must have been sky high. Being such a bitch obviously was a strain on her heart though.  She died in her sleep at about 1 year old. 

If you are getting one from a pet shop make them let you handle it first.

The hidden benefit of a rat that doesn't come with cats and dogs is the neck massage shef.   ;D

I had suffered for years with a pinched nerve in my neck.  Constant round of treatment and pain.  Gypsy would walk backwards and forwards, from shoulder to shoulder, under my hair and within 3 days the pain had gone.  After a few 'treatments' followed by a hot shower, I've never had the problem back.  (Touch wood - Gypsy died and I'm NOT getting any more).

There was a blonde who found herself sitting next to a Lawyer on an airplane. The lawyer just kept bugging the blonde wanting her to play a game of intelligence. Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, and said every time the blonde could not answer one of his questions, she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers, he'd give her $50.00. The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the blonde reluctantly accepted.

The lawyer first asked, "What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?"

Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5. then the blonde asked, "What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?"

Well, the lawyer looked puzzled. He took several hours, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the blonde $50.00

The blonde put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, "What is the answer to your question?"

Without saying a word, the blonde handed him $5.

Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a bar. Tiger turns to Stevie and says, 'How's the singing career going?'

Stevie replies, 'Not too bad. How's the golf?'

Woods replies, 'Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that right, now.'

Stevie says, 'I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right.'

Tiger says, 'You play GOLF?'

Stevie says, 'Yes, I've been playing for years'.

Tiger says, 'But -- you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?'

Stevie Wonder replies, 'Well, I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play  the ball towards his voice.'

'But, how do you putt?' asks Tiger

'Well', says Stevie, 'I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball  towards his voice.'

Tiger asks, 'What's your handicap?'

Stevie says, 'Well, actually -- I'm a scratch golfer.'

Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, 'We've got to play a round sometime.'

Stevie replies, 'Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole. That a problem?'

Woods thinks about it and says, ' I can afford that, OK, I'm game for that. $10,000 a hole is fine with me. When would you like to play?'

Stevie Wonder says, 'Pick a night'

I've done it again.

Daughter yelled through to me from the computer to the lounge where I was watching the weather forecast.....

"It was 1994 when my high school had the last breast reduction".

(https://cdn.smfboards.com/Smileys/smf/undecided.gif)

She had to repeat herself.  I heard the same statement.

(https://cdn.smfboards.com/Smileys/smf/undecided.gif)

I was so perplexed as to why the school would be recording such a thing.

She finally got through the third time she said it:

"It was 1994 when my high school had the last Grease production".

Ooooooooooooohhhhhh **phew**

Investment Banking explained...

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.   
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.     
The next day the farmer drove up and said, 'Sorry Chuck, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.'
    Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'   
    The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'   
    Chuck said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'   
    The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?   
    Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'   
    The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'   
    Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'


    A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' 
    Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.'   
    The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'   
    Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'


    Chuck now works for Morgan Stanley & is contracted to the Queensland Government

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub.

She gestured alluringly to the bartender, who immediately approached her.

She seductively signalled that he should bring his face closer to hers, and as he did, she gently caressed his full beard.

'Are you the manager?' she asked, softly, stroking his face with both hands. 'Actually, no,' he replied.

'Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him,' she said, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.

'I'm afraid I can't,' breathed the bartender. 'Is there anything I can do?'

'Yes. I need you to give him a message,' she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.

'What should I tell him?' the bartender managed to say.

'Tell him,' she whispered, 'there's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the Ladies Room.

I am hearing you on FM there. At least Mr sp's sort notice trips to Wellington don't usually result in no flight home even if he does have to go back later in the week to finish whatever it is.

I just wish they wouldn't happen on the only night of the week when we have 3 kids at two different suburbs at the same time. Unless I get the crock pot cooking a one pot wonder that means takeaways $$.

I hope it stops when XT finally goes to air.

They are sending me work to do from here and I've been ordered to stay put until at least Thursday.

Nana rushes to hospital spend hours amongst 'sick' people and finally takes them home.
he has some sort of viral thing ...  will be ok   

Got stuck in a waiting room for a while with a guy with a speech impediment who was wearing a mask..now my hearing is not the best ..but he didn't notice that I had not a clue what he was talking about so I must have nodded and smiled in the right places.   ::)

You don't hear the voices?  :o

Anyway, it's funny in that there are so many choices to be made for the answer...... stormwater run off, flooding, sewerage, industrial effluent, ducks, farms, rubbish, misuse by public, lack of care by Council, introduced weeds and diseases etc etc etc.  He's so specific in his answer - the only problem with the rivers is dumped old tyres and prostitutes.

Do I log them under general rubbish or misuse by public?

Big birthday tomorrow.  9.
I bought an Adidas AllBlacks rugby ball but the size 3 that I ordered has been delayed and won't be  in until Monday.  I bought the size 4 and the guy said that I can bring it back on Monday and exchange it for the size 3.  "Just let him kick it around in the house"  Hahahaha.  Now thats a really good idea!

Ackshally I always thought Brownie wanted this THE MESSAGE ALWAYS AT THE TOP

THE RULES
THIS MESSAGE MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE TOP 10

IF YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE NOT AT THE TOP YOU MUST ADD A MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY!!!!

IF YOU IGNORE THIS MESSAGE YOU ARE BREAKING THE RULES 

IF YOU BREAK THE RULES YOU ARE UPSETTING THE MANAGEMENT 

IF YOU UPSET THE MANAGEMENT, YOU ARE IN MAJOR TROUBLE 

IF YOU ARE IN MAJOR TROUBLE YOU MUST START WORRYING BIG TIME!!! 

IF YOU START WORRYING BIG TIME YOU WILL GET A HEADACHE 

IF YOU HAVE A HEADACHE IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE BROKEN THE RULES AND HAVE UPSET THE MANAGEMENT AND ARE IN MAJOR TROUBLE AND SHOULD BE WORRYING BIG TIME  AND MUST BEG FOR MERCY BELOW

Mmm, yes.  B1 is a bit of a phonetic speller so we had "R" for wrapper and then "P" for fog (she thought it was spelt "Phog"... Then there was this conversation that I'm none too proud of now...
"Darling"
"Yes mummy"

I met Sam Hunt today. He's doing Poetry Day at the cafe I work at tomorrow. To be honest, I always thought he was a bit pretentious and OTT(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/XtraNewsCommunity2/MSN%20emoticons/08emembarrassed.gif), but he is an extremely nice man, in fact quite gallant. Oh and VERY tall (he sure doesn't look that tall on telly)

Yep, but it gets worse when he recites poetry. He quite likes his wine as well lol. It went really well though. It'll be on the news tonight (1 & 3). He and 'toast artist' Morris Bennet unveiled a 'toast sculpture' made out of Poesy bread (which we manufacture) made specially for us.
I was taken aback when he remembered my name today though, he must meet dozens of new people every day, but spoke to us all by name.

LOL it was worse for Mr. S. The phone still had the ring tone on the other end. He thought I'd run away with my toyboy ;D

Plus I was sick on Saturday, so didn't go into work, so he got no answer on the cell phone when I should have been in coverage. He ended up ringing one of the kidlets (who knew), but still wasn't happy (he rings me every night(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/XtraNewsCommunity2/MSN%20emoticons/08emembarrassed.gif), he's got a 2c/per minute deal ) and I found it hard not talking to him as well.

2 years ago I was promoted from data entry to Data Processor.  Last year I was promoted to Data Processor Manager.  Now I'm Acting Data Services Manager (he who was, quit).  I like the acting (not), it means I have to do a kazillion times more work for no extra pay (except I'm on wages so extra hours are covered). 

It's overwhelming.  I'm waiting for the boss to figure out I don't have a clue what I'm doing.  Quota management is terrifying.  I'm also not looking forward to the conversation with her when she offers me salary.  She pays well based on a 40 hour week....... but if your salary she expects no less than 80 hours per week.   That's not happening.

I'm feeling somewhat of a need to crawl into a dark space and hide there.

New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!
I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts!  I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.

An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical SOB......

If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real stretch..

Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists.. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.



***How about recruiting Women over 50 ...........with PMS !!! You think Men have attitudes !!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my Lord!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!

A husband and wife are travelling by car from
Melbourne .
After almost ten hours on the road, they're too tired
to continue and they decide to stop for a rest.


They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they
only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the
road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk;
hands them a bill for $450.00.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge
is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel;
the rooms certainly aren't worth $450.00.
When the clerk tells him $450.00 is the standard rate,
the man insists on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then
explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool & a huge
conference centre that were available for the husband and
wife to use.
'But we didn't use them,' the man complains
'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains
the Manager.
He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of
the shows for which the hotel is famous. 'The best
entertainers from New York , Hollywood & Las Vegas perform
here,' the Manager says.
'But we didn't go to any of those shows, 'complains
the man again.
'Well, we have them & you could have,' the Manager
replies.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentions!
The man replies, 'But we didn't use it!'
The Manager is unmoved & eventually the man gives up &
agrees to pay. He writes a cheque & gives it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque.
'But sir,' he says, 'this cheque is only made out for
$50.00.'
'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you $400
for sleeping with my wife'
'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.
'Well, too bad,' the man replies. 'She was here & you
could have!'

Hey - does anyone know....
I went out and got a radio scanner the other day for work reasons - however the Police band's seem to be horribly interesting - better than a movie actually.

The question is...  would anyone know if I would be allowed to post selected stories (without names) from the scanner to here when they happen?

I know it's not illegal to listen to the police working (they are on the public airways after all) - I'm just wondering about the relaying of that information to here in an unofficially format...


Anyone know?

Please, i am Christina Dunn,
who is diagnosed with esophageal cancer. To cut the long story short, I have few hours left to live, depending on my surgery which will take place soon.Although I am rich, but it doesn?t matter anymore. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so with that reason I decided to give what I have to charity and I never had children. I want this to be one of the last good deed on earth. I now give you the authority to dispatch my last funds to any charity of your choice.I have One million dollars in a financial institution. I want you to keep fifty percent of this amount for yourself and time, while you give the other fiftypercent to any charity of your choice. May God be with you as you carry out this task. I believe with this, I can now be free to depart peacefully. You can contact my lawyer with your full name,tel number and age,and he will assist you in getting the funds to you and the documents when I pass.His name is James Weber, and his email address (jamesweber01@aol.co.uk) He would guide you through receiving the funds.Lots of LoveCristina

A JOB OPPORTUNITY!!!!


The United States considers marijuana an illegal drug, but some states have legalized it for medicinal purposes.


A Denver alternative newspaper recently posted an ad for what some consider the sweetest job in journalism – a reviewer of the state's marijuana dispensaries and their products.

Medical marijuana users can also look to dozens of review Web sites, even mainstream rating sites such as Yelp or Citysearch, to find their high. At least five iPhone applications allow weed fans to find the closest place to legally buy bud in the 14 US states that allow some sort of medical marijuana.

The Denver paper, Westword, has already has gotten more than 120 applicants, many of them offering to do the reviews for free. When the newspaper settles on a permanent critic for its new "Mile Highs and Lows" column, industry watchers say, it will be the first professional newspaper critic of medical marijuana in the United States.

There's one condition: The critic has to have a medical ailment that allows them to legally enter a dispensary, and buy and use marijuana.

"More and more people are having the opportunity to use marijuana for whatever illness they have. So we want to be a place they can come to find out which place is the best, the cleanest, the closest, that kind of stuff," said Joe Tone, Web editor at Westword.

TOMMY COOPER - COMIC GENIUS
1. Two blondes walked into a building..........you'd think at least one of them would have seen it.

2. Phone answering machine message - '...If you want marijuana, press the hash key...'

3. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Gladwrap for shorts. The shrink says, 'Well, I can clearly see you're nuts.'

4. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

5. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, 'No, the steaks are too high..'

6. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in.

7. A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, 'Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!' The doctor replied, 'I know you can't, I've cut your arms off'..

8. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a muscle.

9. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

10. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands.. Police say that he topped himself.

11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says 'I'll give you some cream to put on it.'

12. 'Doc I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home'. 'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.' 'Is it common? ' 'It's not unusual'.

13. A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?' 'Well,' says the vet, 'let's have a look at him' So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says, 'I'm going to have to put him down.' 'What? Because he's cross-eyed? 'No, because he's really heavy'

14. Guy goes into the doctor's. 'Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my backside.' 'How's that?' the doctor asks. 'Don't you start' says the guy.

15. Two elephants walk off a cliff...boom, boom!

16. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

17. So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'

18. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my Dad, or my older Brother Colin, or my younger Brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

19. Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other 'Your round.' The other one says 'So are you, you fat bast**d!'

20. Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

21. 'You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen. It said, 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice.'

22. A man walked into the doctors, he said, 'I've hurt my arm in several places' The doctor said, 'Well don't go there anymore'

WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul ,
Afghanistan , several years before the Afghan conflict.

She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind
their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women
still walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the
oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to, and are
happy to, maintain the old custom.

Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,
'Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once
tried so desperately to change?'

The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and
without hesitation said, 'Land Mines.'

Moral of the story is (no matter what language you speak or
where you go):

BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN

About 1966 or so, a NASA team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City. There the terrain of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the lunar surface. Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar spacesuits.

Nearby a Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being tended by other NASA personnel. The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA personnel. Since the man did not know English, his son asked him who the strange creatures were. The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon. The man became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

The NASA personnel thought this was a great idea so they rustled up a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate. His son would not.

Hey Gom - I listened to a cabby take on and kick the butts of 3 guys last night - all over refusing to pay the fare.
It sounded like the cabby was a martial arts expert - by the time the cops got there he had all 3 of them on the ground, two out cold and one sitting on the foot path crying!!


Me suspects they learn't a lesson.
Never mess with the cabby!

Better then Nigella!! Why would you want to ruin a good cray by having it with bread.  And I'm the bread queen - I'll have pasta sandwiches... mashed potato sandwiches... pie sandwiches - but I'd never put cray - or whitebait in between two slices of bread.

The king of a small African nation had an elegant golden throne in his large grass hut. When an old friend came to visit from another nation, he was worried that the man would discover he was a king and treat him differently. He searched frantically for a place to hide the throne, but to no avail. Finally, he decided to have it wedged up in the ceiling of his hut. When his friend arrived, he went to the hut's opening to greet him. Just then the ceiling started to give way, and the golden throne fell on the king, killing him.
The moral of the story is this: People who live in grass houses should not stow thrones.' ::)

I'll start sorting out our big adventurer south "home" for this year.
Nut out where to stop off and spend the night camping on the way down, book the boat and sort all the details. The truck needs service, the tent and gear needs dragging out and checking... heaps to do!

Only 30 odd days today until I'm home again....  oh YAY!

Very true!!!

The dogs are fascinated by them - but at the same time (after considerable training) they allow them to climb all over them as well.

But if one of the 'boys' (rats) runs away from the dogs - the instinct kicks in and the dogs are after them in a flash (and who can blame them!).

They really are cool pets!
 :)

Freddy (the black and white one) is sooo cuddly - he is quite often asleep on my shoulder (he snores!) when I'm posting in here.

Yer - we have the table and chairs all set up, with drift wood and stuff from the beach - they love it.
They like outside as well - running around on the deck.

One of them fell off a table outside today and landed in a puddle in a tarp on the deck - he went totally under water, shit it was funny.
They are great at getting up things but when it comes to getting down... gezz it's entertaining! And the great thing is you can actually see them thinking about it, nutting out the best path.

The biggest problem we have is fruit fly's and their food - but a few days on dry food (nuts and things) and putting their cage outside in the wind deals with that.
 ;D

They are soooo funny when they get into boxing matches with each other!

Very cool pets.

Browsing the genealogy threads on TM message board came across this one.... Just the sort of record to pin up on the wall at the family reunion.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.aspx?id=88044

Quote
One of the funniest/sad discharge from army..

in my tree.

He was medically discharged and his Captain said this:

"He said he had a nervous breakdown 18 months ago and he has never been well since then. He frequently becomes giddy during the more strenuous parts of his drill, and has had to fall out on numerous occasions. He has masturb.. for the past 7 years and cannot prevent himself from doing it.
He is very nervous and he ? (an't make it out) , hearts action excited, heart sounds are normal.

The mans family history is known to me and is bad. Most of his family is neurotic and one brother was actually insane"

I am curious if the insane one was the brother who stole and had epilepsy so claimed he suffered moral rectitude as a result of it - this brother was also a bigamist.....

or if it was another brother who was insane :) I think so as that brother was accepted by the army and served, only discharged due to eyesight.

Yeh Ferney it does look like that.  ;D  Me not thinking right.

He's OK I think Daz. He was fully OK after the stroke (it was, thankfully very minor)  laughing and joking in his normal way.  I know when hes SICK, the laughter and naughty side of him goes out the door.  I guess its me whos more not OK, when its not you whos going through it. Im hoping it was just an overnight stay, they give him instructions and I can get him when I go in today.  :-[

Now - who wants to pay me money to customize their MOSS installation?



Bed time...
Bed and book.
And it's so annoying because it's a really good book but I know I'll only get to read 7-8 pages and only really remember 5 or 6 before I fall asleep.

 A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham
sandwich.                                         


    The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck."



    "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.



    "And you can talk!" exclaims the barman.



    "I see your ears are working, too," says the duck. "Now if you don't
mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich       
  please?"



    "Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the
duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in   
  this pub.. What are you doing round this way?"



    "I'm working on the building site across the road," explains the
duck. "I'm a plasterer."                           


    The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn
more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out
  a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.



    So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich,
bids the barman good day and leaves.             
    >

    The same thing happens for two weeks..



    Then one day the circus comes to town.

    >

    The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to
him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I
  know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks,
drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the       
  newspaper and everything!"



    "Sounds marvelous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business
card. "Get him to give me a call."               


    So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,
"Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a 
  top job, paying really good money."



    "I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck. "Where is it?"



    "At the circus," says the barman.



    "The circus?" repeats the duck.



    "That's right," replies the barman.



    "The circus?" the duck asks again. "That place with the big tent?"



    "Yeah," the barman replies.

    >

    "With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in
caravans?" says the duck.                       


    "Of course," the barman replies.



    "And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in
the middle?" persists the duck.                 


    "That's right!" says the barman.



    The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says .. . ...

    >

  > >

    > >

  > >

  "What the f ***  would they want with a plasterer??!">

Bugger.....my flatbed scanner just blew up.

It literally went bang and smoke poured out of it.

I guess that must mean it is absolutely & totally fucked, eh?  ;D


Oh well, I've owned it since the days of Windows 95 (I seem to recall I purchased it sometime around 1996 or 1997), so I guess I've definitely well & truely had my money's worth out of it. It's a bloody good advertisment for HP flatbed scanners' lasting qualities!

I'll go for a wander downtown (it's only at the end of my street) right now and purchase a new scanner from Dick Smith. I'll pay cash (with $100 notes out of my wallet) and see how far I can beat them down on price.

Be good while I'm away!  8)

Anyway, I purchased a new Canon flatbed scanner.

It had a pricetag of $199.00 on it, but I asked what sort of deal they'd give me for cash and was told $159.00.

So that is what I paid for my new scanner.

I just went and dug the box of the old scanner out of the shed and found the receipt in it. I purchased it in October 1996 from Noel Lemings in Gisborne, so I've definitely had my money's worth out of it. I'm tempted to send it back to HP and tell them their products are no good as they only last for fifteen years! All for a bit of a laugh, of course....;D

Far out!!

The LifeFlightTrust helicopter has just flown low over my place for the fourth time today on approach to Wairarapa Hospital.

No doubt it will fly over my place again in a few minutes on the way back to Wellington.

That's a lot of urgent transfers today from Wairarapa Hospital to Wellington Hospital.

Most days (or nights) that helicopter flies over my place at least once, but it sure is busy today.

There must be a lot of people in Wairarapa seriously banging themselves up or getting too seriously ill for Wairarapa Hospital to handle.

The dangers of saving yourself

By LUKE MALONE - Fairfax NZ | 4:03PM - Friday, 25 May 2012

(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/RasputinDude/News%20Story%20Pix%202012/6988830s_25May12.jpg)
THE BIG NIGHT: Gynaecologist Dr Jules Black advises
couples waiting until they marry to have sex to avoid
trying on the wedding night. — Photo: Getty Images.


A WOMAN'S VIRGINITY has long been a cultural fixation. From abstinence pledges and purity balls — wherein teenage girls promise their Evangelical Christian fathers they'll remain virgins until marriage - to the abject quackery that suggests virginity causes cancer, many people are quick to take sides in the imaginary moral war.

But sex therapist Matty Silver, who is quick to dismiss any discussion of morality, says she often finds herself treating some of the unwitting casualties.

While saving oneself for marriage is a personal choice, she warns of an unexpected condition that can affect some women who are waiting for Mr Right — vaginismus.

Described as an involuntary contraction of the muscles surrounding the entrance to the vagina, it can make penetration either painful or impossible and cause much distress to the individual.

It's more common among women who are saving themselves for marriage, says Silver. It is also commonly seen in women who, due to religious or cultural reasons, have developed an overriding fear of penetrative sex.

"To suggest that if you tried to be a virgin you are going to end up with vaginismus wouldn't be right," she said. "It's mainly fear of intercourse."

It's an opinion shared by Dr Jules Black, an internationally noted obstetrician and gynaecologist who specialises in sexual health. He describes how women brought up in restrictive religious environments can develop unhealthy attitudes toward sex.

"Before marriage they use every negative adjective to describe sex: dirty, filthy, mortal sin, etcetera. But in marriage it is beautiful, it's God's gift," he said. "They believe this stuff, they believe that sex is grubby on the morning of their wedding day, but by evening the earth will move and fireworks will go off."

More serious than a lacklustre sexual experience, women who suffer from vaginismus often feel confused and inadequate, which only compounds the disorder's psychological underpinning.

"This is the most extreme sexual problem because they're not having no orgasm with sex or whatever, they're not having sex. It's a devastating problem. And many of these women will say, 'What did I save myself for?'" said Black, adding that even a slight case can soon manifest as something more enduring. "You don't need to have a physical problem for long before it develops into a psychological problem."

Though the issue is common, many women are reluctant to seek treatment and those that do are often steered in the wrong direction by doctors who aren't educated on the subject.

Black says a third of his patients who have come seeking help with vaginismus have been previously misdiagnosed by unskilled or unscrupulous physicians who suggest they undergo a hymenectomy — or Fenton's procedure — to widen the entrance to the vagina. He also suggests that some specialists are even partially responsible for it in the first place, citing how a heavy-handed bedside manner can lead to long-lasting insecurities.

"The things we say to a girl, the things we do. If someone says during a vaginal examination, ‘Oh, gee, you're small down here. You're going to have trouble down here when you want to have babies’, some women store that away and talk themselves into it," he said.

While a religious upbringing is a common thread found in many cases, it's not the only link. Women subjected to sexual abuse can develop similar problems, as can individuals who have developed a fear of childbirth.

"Some women have a fear of childbirth, primarily due to the pain," said Black. "Out of that group, I've seen women come to see me whose mothers have died giving birth to them. Think about that algorithm: sex, pregnancy, childbirth, death. You've got the devil's job in psychotherapy to get them away from this notion of sex and death."

Still, both Black and Silver stress how treatable the condition is. The first step towards treating the problem, according to Silver, is to help an individual become more knowledgeable and comfortable about her body. She says that while many of her more religious patients are intelligent and educated they're not always so well informed when it comes to their own bodies.

"Vaginismus is reasonably easy to overcome the more they understand," she said. "I suggest that they get a mirror and look at their vagina because many of these women have never seen it before ... I treat by counselling, education, anxiety reduction, pelvic floor exercises and retraining of pelvic floor muscles. It may take some months of physiotherapy sessions and practice at home but the success rate of therapy is very high when couples commit to treatment."

Black adds that there is no problem with virginity in and of itself, as long as the individual is comfortable with her body. He suggests that women who have decided to wait until marriage try not to put so much pressure on themselves.

"The worst advice is to actually try on the wedding night," he said. "With all of the stress leading up to the big day, with the guest lists, catering, what have you, it can sometimes be best to leave it to the next day.

Hi,

A new news release is available for you to view on the Police website:

Title: Elderly Greymouth man loses large sum of money

Greymouth Police are hoping the public will come forward with information to help them reunite a 90 year-old man with his life savings.

The man withdrew $23,000 from a bank in Greymouth last Friday. He was given the money in $100 bills, inside a white envelope.

The man has then gone to a cafe for a cup of tea. His movements from there are unclear.

Police have spoken with bank staff and are reviewing CCT from the bank and around the town and are also appealing to the public to help resolve the issue.

Constable Deane Harbison of Greymouth Police said the money was everything the man had and Police would dearly like to get it back for him. He said the man was a war veteran and had no close family.

"I'm hoping that if someone has found the envelope they will bring it to the Police Station. Failing that, if a member of the public or a business owner notices someone paying for goods with $100 notes, we'd like to hear about it."

He reminded the public that failure to return found property was an offence.

Anyone with information that may assist can contact Greymouth Police by calling Ph 03 768 1600. Information can also be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The train gang

Butch and the boys robbed a few railroads.

By ANDREW GULLIFORD - The Durango Herald | 10:38AM - Thursday, September 13, 2012

(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/RasputinDude/News%20Story%20Pix/20120913_dh120919815a.jpg)
This photo of Butch Cassidy was taken at the Wyoming State Penitentiary, where he served
two years for stealing a $5 horse. Butch was born Robert Leroy Parker in a small Mormon
community in Beaver, Utah. He learned his trade from the horse and cattle rustler
Mike Cassidy. Because Robert had been a butcher in Rock Springs, Wyoming, he
earned the nickname Butch Cassidy. — Photo: Courtesy of Andrew Guilliford.


THE OUTLAW TRAIL.

For stealing a $5 horse, Butch Cassidy spent two years in the Wyoming State Prison. He learned his lesson, though. He never got caught stealing horses again. Instead he turned to robbing trains. Butch figured they'd pay better. He was right.

A square-jawed, stocky, tow-headed cowboy with gray eyes and a winning smile, Butch had a way with women. When he had the money, he spent lavishly and he was known in every whorehouse from Miles City, Montana, to Fort Worth, Texas. Paperback dollars, bank certificates, and silver and gold coins slipped through his grasp, yet Butch and the Wild Bunch never robbed railroad passengers. He was quick with a gun, but he never killed anyone, at least not in the United States, and just as railroads began to reach their pinnacle of power across the American West in the 1890s and early 1900s, Butch developed a fondness for railway express cars. And he knew how to open safes... With dynamite.

As a Western historian I've spent years on the trail of Butch and the boys. I've tracked him down in Brown's Park, Colorado, followed him to Hole in the Wall in Wyoming, and I'm learning his haunts in the Robbers Roost area of Utah. I've been on the Outlaw Trail with Butch and he inspired many stories. Some of them are even true.

Yes, he raced horses in McElmo Canyon and yes, he robbed the bank in Telluride. Detective Charles Siringo rode through Durango in search of Butch, but the wily outlaw was already far to the south on the WS Ranch near Alma, New Mexico. There are many tales to tell of Butch, but let's focus on one of his favorite topics — robbing trains.

Cassidy would become a wanted man in four states, and his loose band of outlaws, nicknamed the Wild Bunch, terrified bank presidents and railroad executives. Pinkerton detectives trailed Butch and came close to catching him, but they were always a step too late at the livery stable, the scene of the crime, his campsite or a bordello.

Butch knew how to dodge sheriffs and lose posses, but he never learned to save his ill-gotten gains. He either gambled it away, or shared it with friends, or spent it on lawyers both for himself and his compadres. And when he was out of money, why, Butch and the boys knew just what to do. They'd rob another train.

Studio in Fort Worth and even had the cheek to mail one back to Winnemucca, Nevada, to the president of the bank they
had robbed the month before. — Photo: Courtesy of Union Pacific Railroad Museum Collection.

Yes, on occasion Butch and the boys used a little too much dynamite. In trying to blow this express car safe, they destroyed
the entire railcar. To keep passengers from getting injured Butch Cassidy always separated the express car
from the other passenger cars. — Photo: Courtesy of Union Pacific Railroad Museum Collection.


In between robberies Butch and the gang drifted across the West working at ranches. They never robbed from their employers, and the big cattlemen were astonished that when Butch hired on as a ranch hand, all theft of cattle ceased. Consequently, he was often promoted to ranch manager.

He was cool and calculating with guns — he preferred a Colt .45 and a Winchester .44-40 Saddle Ring carbine rifle, but he rarely fired them during a heist. “They were all gentlemanly,” said trainmen after being robbed by the Wild Bunch. Railroad president E.H. Harriman was not amused. He invented a special horse or posse car complete with armed marshals, deputies, weapons and fast horses.

Butch carefully planned each robbery. He would spend weeks getting to know the landscape, deciding where to leave extra horses, and deliberating on the best place to separate the railroad engine from the express car, which usually carried two safes. The Wild Bunch preferred to rob trains at night or just before dawn, with one outlaw on the train as a paying passenger who would crawl over the tender and sneak up on the engineer.

Butch started robbing trains because his earlier career of stealing horses and busting banks had become uncomfortable. Too many posses too close on his trail. As railroad owners devised steel express cars and posses on wheels, it looked like Butch's train-robbing days were over.

Robbing trains had gotten out of hand. Between 1890 and 1899 thieves successfully plotted 261 train robberies resulting in 86 injuries and 88 deaths. Most of the robberies had occurred in the West. What did the trainmen think? They were getting used to robberies and to Butch. Even the Pinkerton Detective Agency stated that Butch was “amiable and agreeable.” Though occasionally a railroad engineer might be whacked on the head by an outlaw's pistol, train robberies were relatively safe compared to operating trains. Statistics for 1889 from the Interstate Commerce Commission revealed 2,000 rail workers killed and over 20,000 injured on the job.

Butch Cassidy and the boys liked to drink. So much so that they shot up a bar in Baggs, Wyoming, paid the bartender for each
bullet hole, and he made enough money to open a new bar in Rawlins. Butch and other outlaws hiding out in Brown’s Park
may have enjoyed batches of moonshine from this still at the John Jarvie Ranch. — Photo: Courtesy of Andrew Guilliford.

Colorado, includes this cellar reputed to be one of Butch’s hideouts. — Photo: Courtesy of Andrew Guilliford.


At Tipton, Wyoming, a masked robber crawled over the tender and told the engineer, “slow down when you see a fire along the track and don't try any funny stuff.” The engineer complied. Soon valuable express shipments carried extra guards with repeating shotguns. Rumors abounded of the potential use of Gatling guns. Butch had second thoughts, too, but he wanted one last heist before moving to South America.

Under Butch's leadership the final exploit of the Wild Bunch occurred near Wagner, Montana, where on July 3rd, 1901, the boys held up a Great Northern train. After uncoupling the express car and using their trademark dynamite to open the safe, they took $40,000 in unsigned banknotes. The funds would help Butch and the Sundance Kid begin a ranch in Argentina.

They supplemented their ranch income by robbing Bolivian banks, but Butch never got proficient speaking Spanish. He missed the soiled doves in Fort Worth, and there were few female companions on the Argentine pampas. In 1908, Robert Leroy Parker (Butch) and Harry Longabaugh (Sundance) robbed their last train near Eucalyptus, Bolivia. The robbers made off with $90,000 in cash. Perhaps they needed the money, or maybe they did it for old-time's sake.

The cowboy outlaw era ended with Butch. Robbing trains became a thing of the past, but at the turn of the century, railroad executives did their own thieving by conspiring to fix high freight rates which forced small farmers into bankruptcy. Charles Kelly wrote of the Wild Bunch, “These wild, free souls saw great fortunes being made all around them by cattle kings, railroad magnates and mining nabobs who got there first. ... Cowboy-outlaws resented this attitude and felt no twinges of conscience whatever in robbing railroads, mines and banks.”

Who was robbing whom? If Butch and the boys stole a few dollars, the unregulated railroad industry squandered human lives. In 1907 unsafe working conditions and long hours killed 4,354 railroad workers, and countless accidents injured thousands more. Folksinger Woody Guthrie said it best when he wrote “The Ballad of Jesse James” about another famous train robber. Guthrie penned:

As through this world I wander, I meet lots of funny men;

Some men rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen;

As through this world I wander, and through this world I roam;

I never saw an outlaw drive a family from their home.

Searching for Sundance

Place of death a mystery, but he lived
and hid out in Southwest Colorado


By ANDREW GULLIFORD - The Durango Herald | 3:05PM - Friday, October 12, 2012

(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/RasputinDude/News%20Story%20Pix/20121012_dh121019884a.jpg)
This famous photo of the Sundance Kid and the beautiful Etta Place was taken in
New York City after he had bought her an expensive diamond watch at Tiffany’s.
The watch is pinned to her blouse. Questions remain about whether Sundance
died in a shootout with the Bolivian Army, but even less is known about Etta,
though on July 29, 1905 the S.S. Seguranca arrived in New York City from
Panama and on board was a Mrs. E. Place. Rumors persist that she went
on to San Francisco and disappeared after the 1906 earthquake.

MONTEZUMA COUNTY.

I’ve followed the Outlaw Trail looking for Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. Butch caroused with a lot of outlaws, but his best friend the Sundance Kid grew up here in Southwest Colorado. I’ve been searching for Sundance in Cortez and Montezuma County, and I’ve heard some interesting stories and crawled into an outlaw cave or two.

The thing about an outlaw is you don’t claim him as family when he’s doing his deeds, but let a century pass and then he’s fine to call yours. He’s earned his place back on the family tree, but famous Western outlaws have a hard time staying dead and buried.

Harry Alonzo Longabaugh grew up in a blue-collar family in Pennsylvania. At age 14, in 1882, he left home to help distant cousin George Longabaugh, who had moved to Durango. George was lured farther west to homestead near Cortez. Harry stayed with the family for four years but by early 1886 he chose to ride on. Within a year he would be arrested on three counts of grand larceny for horse theft and stealing personal goods “against the peace and dignity of the Territory of Wyoming.” Confined to the county jail in Sundance, Wyo., he earned the nickname The Sundance Kid.

What prompted his life of crime? What had young Harry learned in Cortez and Montezuma County that suggested horse stealing as an honorable profession? And even after he was convicted and jailed, Sundance was unwilling to accept the judge’s decree of an 18-month sentence. Longabaugh and a fellow prisoner attempted an escape on May 1, 1888, but were returned to their cells. When Sundance served his time and got out of jail, he was not yet 21.

Coming to Cortez at 15, Harry learned to rope and ride and shoot a Colt .45. He knew good horse flesh. He probably knew how to brand cattle not his own, and he learned how to live out of saddle bags and move through the country fast, without being seen. The West was wide open. To a young man with grit and gumption there seemed easier ways to make a living than to settle on a homestead, scrape sagebrush, plow and plant and wait for rain.

Local haunts became outlaw caves and north-south routes became known as the Hoot Owl Trail within a larger Outlaw Trail system between Utah and Wyoming. Desperados or questionable men who kept their hats pulled down low over their eyes were known as Hoot-Owlers. Cattle and horse theft was rampant, and for big outfits like the Carlisle Cattle Co. out of Monticello, Utah, that ran thousands of head, who would miss a few unbranded cattle? Most of the petty outlaws stole this and that and remained anonymous. Only Sundance would have his own file created by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and his sister’s mail surreptitiously opened.

Bud Poe has worked to conserve thousands of acres in Trail Canyon west of Cortez. On his private land is an outlaw cave

An outlaw cave can be found on land Bud Poe owns in Trail Canyon west of Cortez. Poe thinks it may have been a waypoint on the Hoot Owl Trail system with access between the Great Sage Plain and McElmo Canyon.

“It was very exciting to see it for the first time,” Poe says. “Unless you’re within 10 feet of the cave, you don’t know it’s there.”

Though the roof has fallen in and no artifacts or dates were found, there’s no question that someone dug out the cave and built a substantial 2-foot-tall berm of rock and dirt at the cave’s lip for concealment. Poe said, “You can kind of stand up in the cave. You could get four guys to sleep in it, and down below is evidence of a brush fence to enclose cattle or horses.”

As we stood atop the hideout on a sandstone ledge facing Sleeping Ute Mountain, Poe said, “Sundance may have heard about this cave.” We’ll never know, but in Montezuma County, rumors abound.

Longtime rancher Al Heaton has found outlaw hideouts on his range including Squaw Point on Bureau of Land Management land west of Pleasant View. Heaton found rocks built up under an overhang big enough for two people to sleep in with a firepit out front and “a horse corral 500 yards away well secluded from each other.” Heaton adds, “The distance gives it away as an outlaw hideout. Sheepherders would have had their corrals right there.”

He found another site five miles from Slickrock with “a pretty fancy fireplace” and a hidden meadow that “you just have to ride into to see it. You can’t see it from across the canyon, and it has feed enough for a month. I found it tracking a cow.”

Archie Hanson, developer of Indian Camp Ranch, has a dugout or cellar on his property which may have been
an outlaw hangout. It’s been stabilized and no trace of a chimney or stovepipe exists. A source of heat would
have been important for a prolonged stay. — Photo: Courtesy of Andrew Guilliford.

Two pieces of metal, one with a cutout for a stovepipe, lie on the ground near the cave entrance, but no other artifacts have
been found other than the remains of a brush corral close to the canyon’s bottom. — Photo: Courtesy of Andrew Guilliford.


At Indian Camp Ranch, Archie Hanson has a root cellar that may have been an outlaw hangout, but there’s no evidence of habitation even though local legends tell of outlaws using nearby Alkali Creek. Former Cortez barber Carl Armstrong spoke with Walter Longabaugh, who died at 98. The aging Longabaugh told him, “When I was 12 or 14 I carried fresh eggs, milk and butter to the dugout. My mother would fix it all up.” But we’re not sure which dugout received the provisions.

What we do know was a famous horse race with Butch and Sundance in McElmo Canyon near Hartman Draw on “a big flat” left a Ute Indian dead and caused the cowboys to flee to Robbers Roost in Utah. Armstrong says, “They had a horse race and bet a horse against a horse. They lived in a dugout and had a run-in with Indians” not over who won the race but what the spoils would be. Guns were drawn over the disagreement and the cowboys slapped leather.

“Once they won a local Mancos horse race, but they didn’t take any money out of the country. They gave it all back in the bars and such,” Armstrong said.

In Western history the outgoing, jovial Butch, and the quiet, sharpshooting Sundance made quite a name for themselves. Sundance took up with the beautiful Etta Place and bought her a diamond watch at Tiffany’s in New York. They went on to rob banks and trains but never small homesteaders or ranchers. It’s still a mystery where Butch and Sundance lived and hid out in Montezuma County, but in the end they died in a shootout with the Bolivian army in 1908. Or did they? Into the 1930s there were supposed sightings of Butch across the West.

Donna B. Ernst wrote The Sundance Kid (University of Oklahoma Press, 2009) and it is a standard reference, but there’s a new book by Marilyn Grace titled Finding the Sundance Kid: Solving the Wild Bunch Mystery. She dug up a grave in Duchesne, Utah, and claims DNA testing on the remains proves it was Sundance, buried in 1936 under the alias William Henry Long.

Duchesne Mayor Rojean Rowley agrees: “They’ve dug up this grave three times and it’s my understanding that it’s the Sundance Kid. It’s an outlaw with a hole in his leg, though there’s controversy among the family about it.”

That’s the thing about famous outlaws. They ride the Outlaw Trail and not only do their legends live on, they won’t stay dead and buried.

I can't get to sleep because I paid $1214.00 for a new pair of glasses for me tonight.  Most of that is the cost of the lenses.  Plus glasses for my 12yr old grandson, what a bummer to pass the identical eye defect on to a grandchild.   I'm going to pay for him to have it corrected with the laser operation but they won't do it until he's 21.

IRISH  SAUSAGES   

Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money between them; they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.


Murphy said “Hang on, I have an idea.”

He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage.


Shamus said “Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money at all!”

Murphy replied, “Don't worry - just follow me.”


He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.

Shamus said “Now you've lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money!!”

Murphy replied, with a smile. “Don't worry; I have a plan, Cheers!”

They downed their Drinks. Murphy said, “OK, I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.”

The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.

They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.

At the tenth pub Shamus said “Murphy - I don't think I can do any more of this. I'm drunk and me knees are killing me!”

Murphy said, “How do you think I feel? I can't  even remember which pub I lost the sausage in.”

Received this morning from a colleague in the USA :

USA Fiscal Cliff explained

“This puts things into a much better perspective as to the present economic situation.

Lesson # 1:

* U.S. Tax revenue: $ 2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $ 3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:

* Annual family income: $ 21,700
* Money the family spent: $ 38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $ 16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $ 38.50

Got It ?????”

Hmmmm.....interesting.....there was a large landscape-format photograph accompanying that article on the STUFF website earlier today, but the photo is no longer there. I wonder if pressure on STUFF from high-up has resulted in its removal?

Nevermind.....I just went and trawled through the Temporary Internet Files folder on my computer and dug it out from there, then uploaded it to PhotoBucket. Here is the photograph that someone (Daddy, perhaps?) doesn't want you to see. Hurray for Temporary Internet Files folders in computers, eh?

From the Los Angeles Times....

Are bro-mantic songs taking over country music?

By DAVID HORSEY | 10:51AM PST - Wednesday, March 12, 2014

(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/RasputinDude/LA%20Times%20News%20Pix%202014/latimes_2014mar12a_zpsb66ba0d9.jpg) (http://www.trbimg.com/img-532097d3/turbine/la-et-ct-brocountry-20140312-001)
Here's an easy formula for a hit bro-country song: a guy, a gal and a truck. — Cartoon: David Horsey/Los Angeles Times.

FEMALE country singers are complaining that their music is being pushed off the airwaves by a new crew of young, male, “bro-country” musicians singing interchangeable songs about dirt roads, pickup trucks, girls in tiny cutoff jeans and beer, lots of beer.

Carrie Underwood is leading the charge, telling Billboard magazine that the country music business seems to have very limited room for new female musicians, but that it’s different for the guys. “There seem to be so many male singers out there who can be viewed as similar, and there seems to be plenty of room for all of them,” Underwood said.

Her description of the current country scene is pretty accurate. A recent story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune explained what is driving the phenomenon: In the last couple of years, a big share of young men in the commercially coveted 18-to-34 age cohort have switched to country radio, lured there by the tailgate party songs of Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Eric Church and other country bros.

Thanks to my nephew, Scott, I had already noticed the trend. Scott is a recent college grad who spent a summer working an outdoor, muscles-required job with a bunch of good ol’ boys — actually, good young boys — who listened to nothing but country tunes as they labored. At a family party on Thanksgiving, Scott played some of the songs. I liked them and I asked him to download a few for me.

I ended up with a playlist of 80 new country songs. Only one of them was performed by a woman. And, yes, most of the lyrics could have been written by the same guy on the same night at the same wild party.

Of course, the cliché about country music has always been that the songs are all the same. In the old days, every song seemed to be about a weary man sitting in a honky tonk bar, drinking whiskey and bemoaning the lost love of a gal he done wrong or who done him wrong. Back then, country music was a niche genre in the backwaters of the music business, but that changed with a new generation of artists such as Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

The music got infused with rock guitars, as well as a pop sensibility. The lyrics broadened beyond the backwoods bars and rodeos to include the simple joys and heartaches of suburban women and men who care about their families and just want to keep a touch of spice in their domesticated lives. Crossover was the name of the game and Nashville pulled in a huge new audience.

If bro-country seems to be narrowing the lyrical topics, it is, nevertheless, another example of crossover. Before this, young men like Scott, raised in the suburbs of a big city about as far from the South as one can get, would have stuck with rock or hip-hop. But bro-country beckoned him down the dirt road.

Scott is astute enough to point out that many of the songs he listens to are, essentially, simple lists. You’re a country boy and you’ve got your pickup truck and your bottle of wine or beer (depending on what word you are trying to rhyme it with). You are driving down a dirt road toward a lake or river, usually in the moonlight. Seated next to you is a country girl in skimpy cutoffs and a tight tank top. She is going to dance on your tailgate and the party is going to go all night long. Just put this list of items in no particular order, add electric guitars and you’ve got a hit song.

Admittedly, this is not as creative as Cole Porter or Lennon and McCartney or even the Dixie Chicks. But this music has an appeal not unlike the teen surfing songs of the Beach Boys or the screaming guitar, take-everything-too-far anthems of Bon Jovi and Sammy Hagar. It can be a Woodie with surfboards on the roof or a speeding Corvette on an interstate or a mud-spattered pickup truck rumbling down a dusty road. She might be a surfer girl, a hitchhiking groupie or a frisky cowgirl. For a young man, the allure of reckless freedom is forever strong.

And it’s not just young men. I know I’ve got a 25-year-old bottled up inside my decidedly not young self who still longs for the fantasy. Call me immature or just a sadly predictable American male, but count me as one more man who — in addition to more sophisticated music — likes the simple-minded, testosterone-driven songs.

Apparently, the music industry executives have noticed and are making money off young guys like Scott and old guys like me. Still, I would urge them not to forsake the talented females. I don’t think they want too see Carrie Underwood show up in the parking lot humming “Before He Cheats” and applying a baseball bat to their BMWs.

NASA linked to stunning car flight

Wednesday, 01 April 2015

(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo92/RasputinDude/News%20Story%20Pix%202015/20150401_ChittyChittyBangBang_zps70wvmrkc.jpg) (http://www.odt.co.nz/files/story/2015/04/a_mystery_pilot_waves_as_chitty_chitty_bang_bang_o_551ade677c.jpg)
A mystery pilot waves as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, on loan from Sir Peter Jackson, soars over Lake Wanaka yesterday. — Photo: Stephen Jaquiery.

IT SEEMS NASA was not just launching balloons in Wanaka.

The US space giant has been linked to an apparent unauthorised flight over Wanaka yesterday morning by Sir Peter Jackson's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car.

The technology used to levitate the famous flying car — the star of Ian Fleming's classic 1968 film — is shrouded in secrecy but future-tech websites are abuzz with theories.

A NASA team has been based in Wanaka launching a super-pressure balloon into space while the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car, which Sir Peter bought in 2011, is on loan to the Wanaka Warbirds and Wheels Museum.

“Not surprisingly, people have put two and two together,” one blogger wrote.

The predominant theory is a heavy-duty adaptation of the jet-pack propulsion technology which has recently captured the imagination of the public.

Aviation authorities were yesterday making no comment but expected to release a statement at noon today.

Mystery surrounds the identity of yesterday's pilot, who managed to evade airport security soon after the car was unpacked from its shipping crate.

Authorities have released the contents of a note left on the driver's seat following the flight. It reads: “Tally ho, that was just magic, what a buzz.”


The car will be on daily display at the museum from today to April 30th, raising money for the Upper Clutha Children's Medical Trust, a local charity that supports ill children and their families.

Hahaha....this Canadian tourist is so infatuated with these lambs on SH2 in the Waioeka Gorge between Opotiki and Gisborne.

I guess she doesn't realise they are probably being herded down the road to be loaded onto trucks, then transported off to the slaughterhouse to be turned into yummy lamb chops, leg-of-lamb roasts, etc. Oh well, sometimes ignorance is bliss, eh?

THE BEACH

Like mechanical crayfish making landfall, the bulldozers that line the shore at Ngawi are an original solution for an
unusual location. But as Mark Scott discovers, it's not the only thing that makes this seaside community unique.

WHEN I FIRST SAW the kids down by the seals, it seemed such a nice family outing: a bunch of young folk jumping around the rocks all excited and exploring, an older person, possibly a parent, videoing a peaceful summer excursion. But then I noticed the boys had what seemed to be sticks in their hands, flourished in the manner of taiaha. Seals wriggled in retreat over the rocks. The adult filmed the boys' amusement. I had always wondered how those episodes start where seals are tormented, or beaten to death. What dark things go on.

I used the phone at a local fisherman's house to call the police, who drove 40 minutes from the nearest settlement. After a review of the video, they were pretty sure the boys hadn't hit any seals, so they let them off with a warning.

That evening at Ngawi's regular gathering spot, it didn't take long for the stage whispers to start up.

“Didja hear. Some idiot called the cops about a seal. Me, I woulda given those kids a medal,” said a local. “Too right!” agreed his drinking buddy. “Best thing for bloody seals is a bullet in the head.”

Since I had already spent a few evenings bending the elbow in the company of these fishermen, I jumped straight in. “That's how you buggers earn a living, hassling wildlife every damned day. Only difference is you don't torment the fish for fun.”

I should have known calling in the rozzers wouldn't sit well. People come to Ngawi to get away from busy-bodying, clipboard-thrusting official interference. It was what attracted me here in the first place. Following my interest in isolated corners of New Zealand, I'd driven through Ngawi a few times while off-roading around Cape Palliser. It had stuck in my mind — this huddle of houses cast up on a rocky shore, dug into a cliff. It was the kind of place that you might expect to find on the Chathams, but not on the mainland.


(https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body3-2000x1329.jpg) (https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body3-2000x1329.jpg)
Ngawi is nestled on the foothills of Aorangi Range, where low rainfall and clear skies are compared with Central Otago.

Here, from the crooked tail of the North Island, there is a clear run to Antarctica. Get the nose of your boat pointed right and in no more than a few days the snowy peaks of the Admiralty Range would be emerging from the horizon. And in return, powerful, crystal-blue swells fetch up direct from the Southern Ocean and slam hard against this coast.

Ngawi, just shy of Cape Palliser, is a good two-hour drive from Wellington. It was little more than a few sweet fishing shacks perched precariously between sea and cliff-face until the 1960s, when an invasion of Fibrolite and ranchslider homes — notable for their staggering lack of pretence — were plonked down in this wild place, bald as badgers.

These were homes for fishermen and their families, not bach-vernacular designer retreats. Yet, despite the influx of holiday houses, Ngawi, at its core, remains a tight-knit fishing community.

To ease my way aboard, I introduced myself on the first day to a clubroom full of folk celebrating a day's golfing tournament. I thought it would be a straightforward way to let the whole village know who I was.

I'd barely started when out of the crowd a bull of a bloke ran at me, screaming, the veins bulging in his neck, eyes popping in their sockets. As he pounded the floor with his feet, and his chest with his fists, I was glad to see from the roomful of grizzled roosters that this was an old joke. An old test.

Turned out he was a village identity, the haka man, delivering a challenge for the newcomer. With red face and shaved skull, he was giving me his signature wero, one which I learned later he's been known to perform wearing little more than a moko made of Marmite.

I was able to reply with a much tamer Auckland version, which somehow seemed to pass muster. I was grabbed by the elbow and hauled through to a table groaning with fresh seafood—crayfish, paua, mussels, fish of every kind. And gourmet bratwurst.

The Ngawegian feast made a unique scene: a room full of blokes going hammer and tong, with tall tales and yabber and backslapping — yelping at one another like cattle dogs at opposite ends of a long paddock. More than a few had hearing aids, with antennas protruding from their ears. And the teeth! A line-up of braying false teeth, brash as the grille of a 1955 Plymouth. Indeed, I soon came to identify a particular Ngawi guffaw — a resonant, adenoidal honk of the kind that only the wearers of false teeth or those who snore, or both, can truly deliver.

As folk drifted off from the clubrooms, I was invited to another gathering, which most nights during the coming week would prove to be a regular fixture. I don't have any memory of the first evening except for failing to keep pace with the shattering quantities of rum and Coke. Haka man seemed to have hollow legs.

It didn't take long to figure out that Ngawi is a place that knows how to let its hair down. What's left of it.

While Ngawi has long been an anchorage frequented by fishing vessels operating out of Wellington, it is only since the introduction of bulldozers and purpose-built
trailers, such as John Priest's rig, pictured, that it has hosted its own fleet.


AT DAWN, I was woken by the roar of a bulldozer crashing through my hangover. It was haka man — fresh as you please — at the levers of a behemoth dozer right outside my ranchslider, launching his boat. I'd chosen this bach off the internet for its proximity to the bulldozers and the fishing boats. I figured I'd be closer to the action. I wasn't wrong.

In the 1920s, the bay was an overnight anchorage for fishing boats from Wellington, but it wasn't until locals hit upon the idea of using bulldozers to haul their boats safely out of the water that Ngawi took off as a permanent settlement.

Now, dozens of dozers with rusted trailers line the steeply sloping beach. With some boats the size of small trawlers, the bulldozers need to be correspondingly large. Looking at this ragtag row, I could imagine a small horde of officials itching to write out a ticket-book of infraction notices. But they wouldn't dare. This colourful line-up of bulldozers and boats has become a valued tourist attraction.

Just north of Ngawi on the same coastal road is Kawakawa Station, run by Duncan and Sarah Furniss, who also do overnight walking tours. The same rustic
charm of the hinterland huts is expressed in their house, where an extension has brought the outside inside — corrugated iron now suffices for lining,
and exterior windows give every room a view of the next.


With the exception of rental baches and a summer take-away cart run by another village identity — a man of few words and fewer teeth who, with reluctance, will flip you a burger — Ngawi has little in the way of organised tourist facilities. The glad-handing required isn't exactly in the village DNA. Unless you head for the hills.

At Kawakawa Station, a few minutes north, Sarah and Duncan Furniss offer trekking that's the nearest you will get to South Island high-country hiking in the North Island.

Up the river at Kawakawa — so named because Kupe's daughter made a lei of kawakawa here — is a valley with twice the rainfall of the barren lands of the coast. A world of fat-breasted pigeons, tui and gullies golden with kowhai. Following a track that loops higher in the hills, hikers return to mustering huts on river flats where they are treated to grilled paua and crayfish. With corrugated fireplaces, make-do wooden stools and lovely crooked verandahs, these huts overlook a parkland of river flat. They are the genuine item. You can almost hear the hobnail boots on the floor, smell the Dubbin. Through the window manuka blossom falls like snow.

Duncan Furniss speaks of his concern that musterers' huts like these in the South Island are being targeted by DOC for demolition. He tells me that at Ocean Beach, just across Palliser Bay, another long-standing community of quiet little shacks tucked among the dunes is also destined for destruction. “Don't they understand this is our heritage, that these places speak about our history?” he says. “They add to the land.”

It's shacks like these that provide a link back to early Pakeha settlement which saw whalers operating out of Te Kopi, a few miles west of Ngawi, until an earthquake destroyed the harbour in 1855, and the station was deserted. For a hundred years, the coast remained more or less uninhabited, save a handful of cottages.


(https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body5-2000x1329.jpg) (https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body5-2000x1329.jpg)
In the 1960s, seals were mainly ornamental in Ngawi, but there are now more than 4,000 in the region.

Access from Wellington at this time was around the coast. An early traveller, Charles Carter, recorded his experience at the Lake Ferry Inn in 1853 — still the nearest public house to Ngawi.

“The ferry house was made with old boards, timber from ship wrecks and had a thatched roof. It was a cross between a Maori whare and rudely built labourers' cottage. It was kept by an Englishman who had an intelligent, good-looking Maori wife who played the bustling cheerful hostess remarkably well. I watched her preparing eel pie for supper, first placing potatoes over the bottom of a huge camp oven. Next she placed lumps of rancid pork fat over and between the potatoes, upon which she fixed a monstrous eel. This luscious Anglo-Maori compound steamed, fried and spluttered. Going to bed on beer and dry bread I was awoken by the host quelling a brawl which, by means of his fistic and vocal powers, he had soon quelled.”

Until a few decades ago, access remained extremely difficult. With no bridges and very few roads, travel was about judging tides and the state of the rivers. The walls in the Ngawi clubrooms feature photos of Morris Oxfords up to their windshields in fast-flowing rivers, or bogged to their axles on shingle beaches, about to be claimed by the incoming tide.

Locals would rope their cars together to get through the trickier sections, and in heavy rain those needing to return would have to pack up in the middle of the night to beat the swelling rivers.

It was common enough to be stranded, unable to get out by land or sea — stuck in a scattering of corrugated-iron shacks, rawboned against the wind, having a lively old time on home brew.

Even today, driving over the Rimutakas in rough weather can be an experience of Homeric proportions. The road simply disappears into the swirling mist and rain like a goat track into the heavens.

A fur seal finds sanctuary well above the high-water mark on the Cape Palliser coast as the sea is whipped into foam in the aftermath of a storm. Exposed to the
full fury of Cook Strait gales, this stretch of coast is regarded as one of the most hazardous in the country.


IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG to realise that nothing much happens in Ngawi, but only if you measure time in minutes. In the space of an hour it's a railway station. There on my deck, with a morning cup of tea in my hand, I settled in to watch the parade.

A grandad and grandson puttered past on a quad bike. A fisherman disappeared headfirst into some cavity of a bulldozer, as though he was extracting the innards of a beached whale. My pensioner neighbour leaped astride his misfiring trail-bike and blatted off, all shorts and sandshoes and foolish grin. Another two elderly bikers towed golfing trolleys, their dogs running alongside. And then the grandson and grandad returned with an outboard lashed to the quad.

Here in Ngawi the old boys have sorted out the hard life. Fixing things, playing golf, hauling in a crayfish or a fish or two and — when you tire of that — throwing down a brew. Blokes and boys lost in a daily round of the important things.

Ngawi is a place whose very purpose seems to be about expressing a deep conviviality. The feasts and constant movement of people and events seem unending — a spit roast at the gun club, a fishing club function, more golf. And a prize-giving for the fishing contest where every bashful place-getter was greeted with rousing cheers and foot-stamping applause. Especially the young ones — little princesses tickled pink to get the third-place trophy for the under-12 tarakihi section.

Most nights here at Ngawi seem to be spent in the company of a similar happy din. I started wondering about that old totem of rural Kiwi identity — the idea we are a laconic breed, people of few words and bottled emotions. Nobody here seemed to have heard of it. They were too busy gabbing. Could it be that the man-alone image of the tortured, silent Kiwi male was simply a literary invention of tortured, silent Kiwi writers?

And while it's easy to dismiss the nightly drink-up as a bunch of blokes on the booze chewing the fat about the same old things, an identical gathering of males guzzling mind-altering liquids in an Amazonian hut or Borneo longhouse would be regarded as a sacred bonding ritual, deserving of reverential anthropological study.

Many baches in Ngawi were built during an influx of visitors in the 1960s. David and Pat Saville have succeeded in retaining the décor in their Ngawi bach,
which was renovated at that time — a busy room to reflect a stark coastline.


(https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body7-2000x1329.jpg) (https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body7-2000x1329.jpg)
Known locally as “Curla”, fisherman and mechanic Evan Gray makes some running repairs to the steering mechanism of his aging bulldozer “Tinki Winki”.
Though old age and corrosion seems to take its toll on everything (and everyone) in Ngawi, ingenuity and treachery prevail.


Certainly at Ngawi there was an intriguing variety of narratives. At one table, the expected hard-tack fables of storm and danger: “Coming out the northern passage at the Manukau Heads, we're all sittin' there in the wheelhouse and me mate's jaw suddenly dropped into his lap. Bulldog's jaw dropped too. And then I saw what they had seen — and my jaw dropped. Yup, a wall of water just came slamming in over the bow. I don't care what they say, never take the northern passage over the bar.”

From another table came talk about the horrors of Magnamail addiction — someone wanting to get his wife to quit falling for the mail-order temptation. From another quarter I caught the news that a well-packed fridge is more efficient and cheaper to run than an empty one — if you want to save your fridge a lot of work, keep it stocked with bottled water, or beer.

And then there's some Jack tar telling me the fisherman's biggest problem with weather forecasts is not the dangers of the sea, but how to judge your drinking the night before. “Many's the time we've all had a heavy night based on a shitty forecast for the next day — really knocking it back sure in the knowledge we wouldn't be putting to sea. Only come the morning and the weather is all clear and the skipper's dragging us out of bed!”

Then for a few nights, as I may have mentioned already, the conversation turned to seals. And I have to say I started to see their point, in part. Seals may be wonderful to watch at a distance, bodysurfing weightless through the waves or threading through kelp and current, but the problem — quite apart from the four kilos of fish they each eat daily — is that they occupy land, and they stink.

South of Ngawi, some 4,000 fur seals have moved in, leaving a stench that combines the worst of dog urine and fish guts. At some of the shacks out at the cape the smell is utterly overpowering. It's difficult to envisage the elegant eco-conscious folk of Oriental Bay or St Heliers happily welcoming the same kind of invasion.

And yet the seals are simply reclaiming their former territory. Excavation of midden sites indicate that New Zealand fur seals were a major food source for Maori, who wiped out most of the seal population on the North Island before the arrival of Europeans. The abundant supply of conveniently slow-moving protein — and warm clothing — must have been as important as moa, and probably more useful.

Featherston resident Len Terry, left, has been frequenting his Ngawi bach since 1963. An avid fisherman and hunter, he was given a Yamaha 185 trial bike
by a Ngawi resident 29 years ago. Now he is donating it to the third generation, Josh, with a long list of instructions to deal with the temperamental bike's
many idiosyncrasies. However, he says, “If you know what you are doing, she won't let you down”.


It's one of the reasons Palliser Bay remained an important centre of Maori settlement. The very name Ngawi the howl of the wind — suggests there must have been some other compelling reason to stay here.

Ngawi may have been important to Maori, but few outsiders have heard of it. If you have, it's likely due to the saga of the three half-witted teenagers who in 2006 hit the village in a mini crime wave.

Garth Gadsby told me the story. “They pinched a truck, trashed a house and then disappeared. But when they came back in the night a week later, we were ready for them. We all went down the bottom of the village and set up a roadblock.”

The boys managed to dodge the blockade, and the locals followed in hot pursuit. The lads might have thought they'd show a clean pair of heels to this Dad's Army of pursuers, but they had picked the wrong town, and the wrong man — Gadsby was both a stock-car champion and trophy-winning skeet shooter.

“We chased 'em right up the arse with the spotlight. And then I stuck my shotgun out the window.”

In court, Gadsby was irked by the prosecutor's suggestion he’d fired the shotgun recklessly. “Reckless! When I stuck that shotgun out the window, I knew exactly what I was aiming at. I was aiming for the tyres. There was never any danger of them being shot.”

The shotgun blasts turned the miscreant teenagers back to the village, which — hemmed in as it is by unscalable cliffs on the one side and raw surf pounding into rocks on the other — was hardly a promising escape option. Not with a riled gang of shotgun-toting locals blocking the only retreat.

With dawn about to break and the village folk — minus only the flaming torches — hunting them down, the boys took off out the back. “We knew there was no way out up that gully,” recalled Gadsby, “knew they'd end up being bluffed out, blocked in, because that gully just ends in a cliff. When daylight started to come through, they realised that too. Realised they were rats in a trap!”

As Gadsby tells the story for the thousandth time, with undiminished relish, I have to admit to feeling some sympathy for these dim-witted kids and their self-inflicted nightmare.

Sure enough, with dawn came the realisation they were caught between a rock and a hard place. “By then we'd sent our boys up the ridges either side of the gully so they could work themselves into positions above them. And once we could see where they were we started pelting them with rocks and boulders.”

Don Hathaway celebrates a good tee shot in the weekly twilight golf tournament. A visitor since 1947, he relocated to Ngawi 25 years ago to retire,
and recently moved back to Wellington for health reasons.


(https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body8-2000x1329.jpg) (https://www.nzgeo.com/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/109_Ngawi_body8-2000x1329.jpg)
Like Hathawy, Garth Gadsby, president of local gun-club and self-described Ngawi Sheriff is a long-time resident. Having lost his own firearms license
in a spate of vigilante action, he can now only supervise the skeet shooting.


It was only when the police turned up that the boys surrendered, and never have three ne'er-do-wells on the lam fallen so gratefully into the arms of the law. Eventually Gadsby, now owner of a tee shirt proclaiming himself Sheriff of Ngawi, also attracted police attention. He copped a $3,000 fine, the loss of his firearms licence and the right to shoot skeet, even under supervision. It appears he didn't display enough contrition — or, indeed, any. “I had to go Wellington for the trial. If I had a jury of my peers over here they would have thrown the case out,” he recalls.

But the most wounding punishment of all for this unofficial sheriff — bringer of frontier justice to the lawless, and brandisher of firearms in defence of the townsfolk — was when a favourite destination, the United States, refused him a visa. Gadsby is alive to the irony.

Many in Ngawi are well travelled. When you are flush with the crayfish dollar, there is not a lot of point hanging around in the off-season. Take Keith Banks. One minute he was talking diesel engines and crayfish pots, and the next his favourite cafes in New York, or expounding on the markets in Fez, Morocco.

“It was great talking to the fishermen in Portugal. Although we had no language, there was so much in common. I really appreciated that they took the time. Now, when tourists drop by I don't keep my head down and avoid them like I used to. I take my time to talk.”

I joined Banks to pull some pots. I wish there was some kind of seafaring tale to relate, but I have to say that winning a living from the pots is very often no more challenging than pulling cash out of an ATM. A quota — a commercial licence to fish — can return half a million dollars a season. Even the dogs are onto a winner. In Banks' work shed a terrier waited patiently for crayfish snacks, a streak of bliss crossing her features as she crunched through the bright orange shell into the sweetness of the succulent flesh.


ONE OF THE LAST remaining heritage shacks, tucked in above the churning surf for near on a century, is owned by Pat and David Saville. There's a view of surf and rocky headland from every window. And behind the shack, the raw rock of Palliser, with shale tumbling down the crags of an utterly inhospitable cliff face — a sort of Arthur's Pass by the sea.

“We come here for days on end and just sit and watch the sea, the mountains,” he says.

High above the kelp and jagged rocks I spy a cockleshell dinghy and ask Saville if he ever gets to use it. “If you wake up and don't hear any surf, you've got a chance, but even if the weather's okay, you have to be careful. If your engine dies and the northwester picks up, there's no rowing against it. You're gone.”

Casting a frail loom during a storm, Cape Palliser lighthouse marks the southern-most tip of the North Island. Built in 1897, the light has been managed
from a control room in Wellington since 1986.


The attraction here is about more than the fishing. Maori named the area Matakitaki, which means to look upon with admiration. Indeed, sitting here, lost in the same view, the mountains of the South Island frosted with snow, it's not difficult to imagine the sheer wonder of this place for a people encountering mountains and snow for the first time. For those early voyagers the view from Ngawi — across the charging, vital skies of Cook Strait — must have seemed like the other side of the moon.

Being here in Palliser Bay is still extraordinary.

Beyond, cliffs of crumbling shale hills lie like fresh-baked loaves of bread, golden brown against an opalescent ocean. The heavy gutted swell rolls in from the deep and, slapped by the wind, crashes against the rocks on the far side of the bay. The lacey fringe of spume washes along shiny black shingle beaches, as if scalloped by pinking shears.

As my last night settles, I see the wisp of an airliner contrail caught by the sun now below the horizon, the plane itself a sliver of molten metal, tiny in a purple sky. I feel a sense of dread at the prospect of returning to the outside world, having to leave this wild place and its people who have cultivated here a powerful sense of kindness and freedom that I will miss deeply.
