Because Taranakians make a big deal of the mountain but it is always covered in bloody cloud so visitors very rarely see it!

He seems to be settling in very well, actually - which surprises me a bit because is a homeboy and misses his mates and stuff when we go on holiday for god's sake.

But tonight, after a day at work, a look at a purple Toyota Hilux Surf I want ( which is almost double the price we said we would spend on a car!), a fish supper from Tom Cruise's favourite takeaway and a walk on the beach he said all dancey round the sitting room that he felt very happy - so something must be going right for him!!

I think the fact that I am a 'home executive', as the woman from Telecom described, it helps as well as his shirts are being washed AND ironed!!

Guess you gotta get something expensive and classy to match the jacket eh ?
