Evening Murray. Wonder if we struck oil off the south island?
March 16, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Hi everyone
Zen, I really think so, I’ve been keeping a close eye on this down here and it looks hopeful. Recall that Kent Oil did a lot of exploration offshore in the 1970s what they found we definitly worth their while. Too bad Kent went belly up during the 80s. I think they tried to pull an Enron on the silver market and it bit them on the bum.
Murray, did you get a wee smack on the hand from DPF today?
March 16, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Nah, that was a face saving exercise is public impartiality. I told him on MSM I was doing it so he jump in before it turned into a free for all.
That sniveling little sack of commie shit needs a good kicked on a daily basis and its not like DPF can do it himself.
I consider it a public service.
March 16, 2007 at 5:58 pm
Absolutely. I don’t post on DPF’s anymore mostly because of that colossal tool.
I just wish people could see a attention seeking little troll for what it is.
March 16, 2007 at 6:04 pm
evenin’ all, from the Deep South
March 16, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Hi everyone!
I’m back to baking again. Banana cake, now. Chocolate cake was going to be next, but we drank all the beer.
March 16, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Whereabouts in the Deep South are you Keith. I’m in sunny Invercargill
March 16, 2007 at 6:07 pm
You excited about this new wheel thingee thats coming soon down there?
March 16, 2007 at 6:09 pm
let’s ignore that Northern softie, exocet. Bloody wimps…
Dunedin–and loving it!
March 16, 2007 at 6:09 pm
We are trying to get used to this ‘fire’ thing, I don’t know how we will cope with all these newfangled changes…….
March 16, 2007 at 6:11 pm
It’s the leccy stuff that baffles me–sticking fingers in that socket thingy on the wall just makes me feel funny. Doesn’t warm one up at all–they lied.
March 16, 2007 at 6:11 pm
I’ve spent many years living in Dunners Keith, I know the place better than Invers just about.
Dunedin is a splendid place. Too bad about the scarfies though
March 16, 2007 at 6:13 pm
It’s a great wee town (learning Scottish lingo, I is)
mmmm…there’s some very attractive females here though, exo
March 16, 2007 at 6:13 pm
Boo!!!
March 16, 2007 at 6:14 pm
How are you getting on with the boobies shots Murray?
March 16, 2007 at 6:14 pm
cat hisses at Whale….
March 16, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Oh yes. Trying to concentrate when you are driving down George St on a sunny day takes some doing!
March 16, 2007 at 6:17 pm
heh..it surely does.
March 16, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Living in Dunedin? Existing or surviving would be more apt. Sitting on the verandah in the sunny Bay of Islands myself. 8 of my pineapple plants are flowering for the first time and we will have approx 20 kilos of bananas this year.
March 16, 2007 at 6:19 pm
you preparing for the new NZ republic BB?
March 16, 2007 at 6:20 pm
Do you still have to set your watch back 20 years when you get off the plane in Dunnydin
March 16, 2007 at 6:20 pm
You can grow Banana’s in the Bay of Islands? I did not know that. You can grow swedes here. Wanna trade?
March 16, 2007 at 6:21 pm
Those are men in kilts you freaks.
And Keith I have my Tekapo Star. Thats a year and half minimum in the hight country, none of this sea level softcock shit.
March 16, 2007 at 6:21 pm
Very nearly had the perfect Whale oil shot this week, we called ourselves after the bog trotter at the sky city quiz night on Tuesday and were in first place after two rounds but Stella made us perform badly over the next 6 rounds and I did not think he would want a photo of his name in 8th place at the end. Alas last trip to Auckland for a while so we will have to cook up another way to produce the killer pic.
March 16, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Do you still have use a passport to get out of Jafaland?
March 16, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Exocet, only if they come in pairs, have blonde hair and have had a morals bypass.
March 16, 2007 at 6:23 pm
*shrug* then the men in kilts have great boobs…..
Yeah, sure Murray–and we had to eat gravel in the Arctic when we were youngsters…..
March 16, 2007 at 6:23 pm
Keith I am hoping they will use one of my bananas for the still life on our new flag. Bananas in one corner and a picture of a willy with a big cross through it on the opposite side.
March 16, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Sounds all too bloody likely, BB. Toaday’s sad joke is Helen’s Grand Plan tomorrow.
March 16, 2007 at 6:25 pm
Diplomatic passport Murray, I am one of the lucky ones who can get the last huey of the embassy roof to Brisbane.
March 16, 2007 at 6:25 pm
See if you can get out to Waipuri Falls Keith. My fathers stories of 23 miles through the snow to school are actually true.
March 16, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I used to be an Auckland.
But I’m better now.
March 16, 2007 at 6:26 pm
How far from here is it?
March 16, 2007 at 6:27 pm
That would be the “23 miles” Keith.
March 16, 2007 at 6:28 pm
It’s in the middle of a bloody forest!
March 16, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Yeeeees.
This would be consistent with what I’ve been telling you.
March 16, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Murray i have been fencing all day so missed the drama mentioned higher on the page. Did you do something to BUbonic? If so where on dpf is it?
March 16, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Oh yes, It can get very cold in that part of the country. I used to work at Macraes Goldmine and having blizzards in November was not unusual
March 16, 2007 at 6:30 pm
stuff that–I don’t do forests.
Tomorrow, a quick gander at Mt. Cook, coffee and back home.
March 16, 2007 at 6:30 pm
On his post about the anti-Bradford march, I btichslapped a bitch.
March 16, 2007 at 6:30 pm
BB, next time in the only City NZ has got, drop me a line.
Passports are only required for the whingers south of the Bombays coming north.
March 16, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Feh, that swamp isn’t even IN New Zealand. If it was there’d be some kiwis there.
March 16, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Whale, we retired from Auck at the end of 2005, I love the place (if you count the Shore down to green lane in the south and the zoo in the west as being Auckland and everything else NOT). You are right about the only city bit though, when you consider the rest of the country and how grim the weather is and the further south you go the people seem to get more and more dour. Hamilton, Palmerston North and Wellington being the very worst places to visit in the English speaking world (Yes I include Middlesborough and Detroit in that)
I have been working a few days a month in Auck for a couple of tech companies but have finally finished this week and will only be returning for flights out, funerals and weddings etc. Oh and if you ever get the right v left boxing thing happening i will be down to see chronic get slapped.
March 16, 2007 at 6:45 pm
The lefty sooks all bailed, of course after they declared themselves the winners of some fictious argument they had in their own heads.
March 16, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Did you hear that, Exocet? “dour”, we is…..
March 16, 2007 at 6:49 pm
did you just get that post Keith. you must get the telegram lady relaying the posts from picton to type faster
March 16, 2007 at 7:09 pm
telegram? is that some newfangled Orclander invention?
March 16, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Nah, BB–I was on the steam telephone.
March 16, 2007 at 7:14 pm
I suppose carrier pigeons would just drop from the sky with their little wings frozen and then be eaten by all those canny jocks.
March 16, 2007 at 7:15 pm
och aye, they would. Keep’s ‘em fit and mean, unlike the soft lotus-eaters of the sunny North..
March 16, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Mmmm Pigeons. Tastes great with porridge and swedes.
March 16, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Mind you, BB as an ex-Northern Territory person, I may not be feeling so cheerful come midwinter.
March 16, 2007 at 7:18 pm
wots a swede? Is eating ‘em compulsory down here?
March 16, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Yes.
Yes it is.
March 16, 2007 at 7:20 pm
Swedes are cattle fodder
March 16, 2007 at 7:20 pm
Or missing tourists
March 16, 2007 at 7:21 pm
we have mozzies as big as big as pigeons up here. hence the reason for moving indoors now. I am also growing coconuts although 10 years before a crop unfortunately.
Parajubaea cocoides and Parajubaea torallyi. They are mountain coconuts so the nut is smaller, but still a coconut.
March 16, 2007 at 7:22 pm
This begins to sound..um…ominous
March 16, 2007 at 7:25 pm
We have them growing in South Auckland, no big deal….
March 16, 2007 at 7:28 pm
No wonder they’re missing, the bloody southern inbreeds have et em all.
March 16, 2007 at 7:29 pm
You grow need Swedes just because you buried some there you know.
March 16, 2007 at 7:30 pm
But are they fruiting? I am getting ready just in case the global warming nutjobs are right. 75 metres above sea level and tropical food. Not having much luck with mangoes but will keep trying.
March 16, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Mmmm Mangoes. Did you know that Cashew nuts are related to mangoes and apples?
March 16, 2007 at 7:38 pm
blech! bloody mangoes–go live in the Territory, exo and after a year you’ll hate the sight of ‘em. ruit bats squabble in the trees all night and crap used mango all over everything and the wild pigs snort and snuffle and squeal until you have to go out and have a chat with the .450.
Mangoes….
March 16, 2007 at 7:40 pm
“fruit” bats, that is
March 16, 2007 at 7:41 pm
I only want them to make chutney with. Being a British expat I eat curry 15 times a day and the only decent chutney we can get is Sharwoods which costs three hundred and eleventy seven dollars a spoonful.
March 16, 2007 at 7:44 pm
You know every year I see more and more poms everywhere. There are at least four in our office alone.
Not that I mind though
March 16, 2007 at 7:45 pm
They’re refugees, xo.
March 16, 2007 at 7:46 pm
whereas Aussies are missionaries…
March 16, 2007 at 7:47 pm
ha ha !
March 16, 2007 at 7:50 pm
now that poland and roumania have joined the eec (or as i like to call it; send all your money to the cheese eating surrender monkeys across the channel) we will see a lot more brits move here. 900,000 poles have moved en masse to the UK for work and a better life and I read last week of a council in the North that is putting up bilingual road signs for the hapless polish drivers. If our dollar would just shit itself we will see many tens of thousands bringing their bad teeth and warm beer here.
March 16, 2007 at 7:52 pm
What are the chances of Britain pulling out of the EU?
March 16, 2007 at 7:57 pm
off to drink some of this Speights stuff. Thanks for the chat guys–if you’re in Dunedin exocet, drop me a mail and call in.
March 16, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Will do Keith
March 16, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Good evening everyone.
And Keith, greetings from Darwin.
Good evening barnsley Bill.
I hope you get a good crop of bananas.
They are selling them from the roadside here for $2-95 a kilo.
There’s a mango vinyard here, which i might try out.
I’;m always keen to try some wine, wherever it comes from, but I have yet to see the fruitbats,
And even though I’m a Yorkshireman, I will join in the St Patrick’s day festivities at Shenanigans just down the road.
Which reminds me of my backpacking days and an Irish mate Pat, what else? Would ask the young ladies Have you any Irish in you.”
And if they replied no, he would ask “Do you want some.?”
So any interesting ST Pats activities in NZ?
March 16, 2007 at 8:02 pm
nil. They should never have joined, a proper trade relationship with the countries we settled and colonised would have been IMO a much better option. The pain that was inflicted upon NZ and to a lesser degree OZ is a shame that Britain will carry forever. The British have more in common with NZ, OZ, Canada and the US than any other countries. Being Adjacent to Europe is convenient but the EEC has been massively expensive with many more layers of govt created. And the French HATE the British, which really shits me when you look at the blood spilled by brits (and others) to liberate their ungratefull selves in the last 100 years. The pricks built all their refugee/ illegal immigrant camps a convenient stroll to the channel tunnel, coincidence? Not bloody likely.
March 16, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Also a Yorkshire man..
yes we will be celebrating st pats by undertaking a reenactment. We are going to reenact the great potato famine. The kids and i will plant some spuds over the weekend and then completely forget where we planted them
March 16, 2007 at 8:05 pm
I wore my best green Hawaiian T-shirt to work today. And I’m going to spend most of tomorrow at Waxy-OShea’s.
My ancestors are Scots-irish so it’s a religious thing.
March 16, 2007 at 8:11 pm
nothing wrong with the poms, made up as they are with the leavening of taffs, micks, scousers, geordies and the formidable porridge-wogs.
Its just thst the poor souls don’t know which way is up after a few generations of socialist twits running the place.
Somthing like this pussy-whipped dump.
March 16, 2007 at 8:12 pm
And yes I agree with you about the EU.
March 16, 2007 at 8:14 pm
Cheers BB
They will be serving green beer though I too like a drop of speights old, not that you find that here. I found Lindauer in a wine store so i was happy.
I agree about the EU. It has been a complete disaster , forking out for the French, germans, etc, etc,.
The poles are fine. At least theyb work hard and dad says they did a great job on building a new roof for his house.
And yes, we have closer ties with our kith and kin in the US and the old commonwealth.
I look forward to the days when Britain leaves the EU, unless the evil empire falls apart first.
I certainly do not want Turkey joining.
March 16, 2007 at 8:23 pm
Bloody hell. Got pulled away from the PC and come back to 78 comments. If this was a pub, buying the next round would send me broke. No wonder I stay at home Friday nights now.
Just saw the cover of Investigate Magazine Exocet. Tim Shadbolt’s on the cover looking like one of the three wise men. Obviously meant to be some Oil Sheikh Ayrab. If Invercargill can charge suitable rates and “re-zoning” fees, the streets could be paved with gold.
St Patrick’s day tomorrow. I confess, I’ve never, ever had a green beer. I’m tempted. I’m very tempted. And there’s always the creme de menthe as backup. A pint of that puts hair on the chest. At least, that’s what the rumours say about one of the office girls who cant keep away from the stuff.
March 16, 2007 at 8:28 pm
Avtually at university Zen, I recall there was this rather hairy girl with red hair and when she had a low cut top on you could see a little hair betyween her breasts. Righ turn off it was.
Then a few years ago i went with a mate to a wedding and this maori woman had not only a facial hair problem but you could see hair on her breats as well.
My mate was shocked when as told him as she was related to him but later he had a closer look and could not believe his eyes.
Anyway, her hubby seemed happy but maybe he is turned on by that sort of thing.
March 16, 2007 at 8:28 pm
I will be sure to check out the latest issue of Investigate then Zen.
Good night everyone, enjoy your St Pats day!.
What a shame that Waitangi day isn’t like St Pat’s day.
March 16, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Thanks Darren, right on dinner time too.
March 16, 2007 at 8:33 pm
Sorry Murray.
hope you are having a lovely dinner.
I would kill for a decent lamb roast or a nice bit of terakahi.
March 16, 2007 at 9:20 pm
so nobody hitting the town tonight?
I’m off out for drinkies soon.
One of the troubles with these troppos places is that it is more pleasant to be out at night than in the daytime.
And I heard on the radio one bar is doing $3 drink specials.
I went out on Tuesday and joined the backapapckers in a nightclub where they had a miss wet t shirt competition.
The bwinner got $200 for her efforts and they weren’t that big after all.
March 16, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Good to see FFF back at Murray’s place.
March 16, 2007 at 10:31 pm
We take it turns each week.
Feel free to send your readers this way to join in.
March 16, 2007 at 10:53 pm
Never seen topless bar maids until I went to a pub in the Northern Territory. I think my one rated better than yours, Darren.
