Kia ora is the Maori greeting, just in case you weren't pulling my plonker!  I've only been out here in NZ for a year but should really have come here years ago - it's absolutely brilliant here.

Hi TR. (Got you from post 1)

ST here.

Good to see you're making good.

I actually don't remember ever seeing you hitting anything - except in the wing.

Keep coming back.

Hi Stu, Glad to see you're as "sharp" as usual!  My hitting things didn't last overly long after leaving the wing  - I think my bosses cultivated my other skills to keep me off the stage!  That's why they were DOMs & I wasn't!  Still I did manage to shoot myself in the eye with a starting pistol before succumbing to admin work.

Hi Bob,  Not sure this site is big enough, or the right vehicle for me to rant on about the woe's of "good old blighty".  Basically, couldn't stand the PC cr@p and sell-out of UK history any longer adn wanted somewhere better to raise my children.  Anyway, it was the best decision of my life as this country is awesome.  The children's school is right on the beach and they go scuba diving and swimming with dolphins and have lessons on the beach.  Politicians don't appear to be any different (all unfulfilled promises) but the average Kiwi speaks his mind and doesn't give XXXX who hears him.  Great!
What are you up to these days?

That's right, townsergeant, Dave White & me with a patch over my right eye - very melodramatic.  Wasn't even my fault.  Someone(?) filled the wrong end of the slide holding the pistol shots!  Alright , I admit I shouldn't have looked down the barrel as I fired a shot!
