Hi!
I don’t know why, but I felt compelled to plant another tree today. I’ve just realised that I planted the last one on a Friday afternoon as well. This one was much easier, being a garden-centre plastic wrapped one that came out of the packet really easier. Dug a hole, poured in compost and the tree, watered it. Easy.
Ok, back to typing more of Chris Trotter …

Its the mo isn’t it.
Looks like a bloody seagull has flown up his honker.

DUDE! Way too much information!!!!

I wonder if S*&%$ is more than a little glad he chickened out after a couple of the posts at my place.

I am really angry
March 30, 2007 at 6:54 pm
Want to check that link Dave?

Murray, he’s the lefties (and liberal’s) sounding rod. It’s like keeping the finger on the pulse of the enemy. Plus, when he says something insane, as he does often, we can point and laugh at all of the left because he says what they are thinking.
March 30, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Um, ok, it is the mo. Sets me off everytime.
March 30, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I confess!
Back to typing …

Hi all;
I guess dave is angry at Murray’s “page not found” page.
I’m angry at my local MPs.
I’d like to borrow Oswald’s hickory rod and take to them with it.
Mind you one of our local guys just might get off on that.
March 30, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Now I am really really angry. Heres why.

Hey Dave,
I’d be annoyed, if I were you as well.
Btw, I have to comment here because I don’t get the visual verification picture on your site.
But, I have ordered books from Amazon that have arrived in about 2 weeks before. Sometimes they can take 4 weeks. That’s without the express shipping option, whatever they call it.
I’d still be annoyed, because there’s no guarantee they’ll arrive that quickly anyway.

20Free is in big trouble.

Dave, may I suggest quitting university, to my knowledge dealing on a day to day basis with jumped up never come down johnny come lately socialists who have never had a real job is never good for the sanity.
Secondly, what do you want a degree for anyway?
March 30, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Last time I ordered books from Amazon it took more than 6 weeks - thats nearly half a term.
March 30, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Yeah Dave thats sucks.
What about lecturers who make you buy expensive text books that they themselves authored?
I’ve been there.
March 30, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Murray, I got a solution for ya…..research grants into “The effect of housing projects for woodland and metropolitan small beings”
http://subs.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10431702
March 30, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Yeah judging by the crap they just gave out it should be worth about $500,000.
March 30, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Greetings from Airlie Beach everyone.
Have you tried Borders, Dave?
Or maybe trade me. There maybe old students who have books they would gladly get rid of. Ads on noticeboards on campus?
When I went to uni, it was often the case that the textbooks had been written by the lecturers, so the university bookshop always had them in stock.
“And the required reading for this term is ‘Macroeconomics in Britain’ by me, price 19pounds 95!”
March 30, 2007 at 7:52 pm
That’s better, the guns are properly cleaned and NOW I can relax.
If the damned pager stays quiet!

Hey Oz did we catch up with wood guy?
Also got a call from a newspaper about giving us some coverage.
March 30, 2007 at 7:57 pm
No, he wasn’t there on Wednsday. He does bloody awful shifts, like me.
March 30, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Have you heard about poor David Hicks?
Sweet little lamb apparantly wasn’t eating, was fading fast, bleated the media.
And now he pleads guilty in court to terrorism and is now a porker.
Tim Blair had it spot on when one of his commentators called him Tali-tubby!
Tim Blair is a really good Aussie blogger.
This week he also noted ‘Algor’ really does mean to make colder.
The latest was snow showers when AG visted Dublin.
I still look at the NZ blogs and should be home in a week or two.

Evening all. Nothing to report from the warm south except the stags are half heartedly roaring.
March 30, 2007 at 8:36 pm
Its got cold again here…Gore was in town again.
March 30, 2007 at 8:40 pm
Good evening George
How warm is the south.
Here it’s 30-31c in the daytime. I have been experiencing it much hotter as I have crossed northern australia from Perth in the past few weeks.
I have just arrived in Airlie Beach which is a nightmarish vision of Pahia in 20 years time. Better warn Barnsley Bill.
The peaceful settlement of my backpacking days 12 years ago has gone and now there are many medium rise resorts, plenty of shops, several nightclubs, much traffic, etc, etc.
The backpackers are being edged out.
The place I stayed at in 94 is still there but it looks like the possums in the back garden may have gone.
But some things change for the better.
I am staying in one of the new resorts.
Backpacking is in my past.
March 30, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Warm enough to be running around in shorts getting sunburnt. 26 degrees a few days back without a breath of wind. Overcast with the beginnings of a Norwester today.
March 30, 2007 at 9:01 pm
That sounds lovely.
I have just endured the wet season as I passed through northern Oz. I Darwin it rained everyday. I was to go to kakadu but floods washed away the bridge on the main road in. I was to visit katherine Gorge but that road too was flooded. And last Saturday i had to stay an extra night in Tennants Creek because the afternoon storm flooded the high street. Still the locals were happy.
Finally I am seeing the sun and while 30-31 is a little hot , I am happy with it. 26 is more my scene.
Australia is generally too hot in the summer. Perth certainly was.
And two days a week it was too hot to go out so you would hide inside. That is nopt living. We might bleat about the cold in NZ, but if it is cold and you need to go out, you can always put a coat on. What do you take off when it is 40C?
March 30, 2007 at 9:25 pm
The cap of a cold one…
March 30, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Keep removing caps to reach the comfort zone where you don’t feel the weather or anything at all.
March 30, 2007 at 10:57 pm
you get the same effect with a ring pull.
I’m warming to the ready mixed cans of bundy and cola.
Must call in at the rum place when i pass through bundaberg.

Borders wasn’t open when I enquired about the books.Now that it is open its too late, as is Amazon as hte later can take 3-6 weeks.
