Ever considered the fact that Melbourne is actually a very expensive place to purchase real estate in? Ever considered that the weather in Melbourne in July, makes Inverness's climate look like Honululu. Ever considered the fact that more Australian's than ever are now living below the poverty line. Melbourne & culture? Funny that, the only people who have ever told me that have been, er....people from Melbourne.

You have about as much balance as Donald Rumsfeld.

Buzzy Bee- how about Bumble Bee?


You are most amusing.

I read it all the time about NZ. It is usually based on tunnel vision.

Seems to me that was the reason for Howick's challenge.

I know, it's silly to get worked up about it. I'm sure if Peter Bills had really tried he could have found a more expensive glass of wine. However, when he is aiming his article at tourists why should they be interested in Council Tax, especially when the guy states that it used to be £300 a year?

The man is obviosly a buffoon and should stick to rugby. He might even be able to get some facts correct that way.

Now, I can help you with that ... RUGBY ...

A bunch of grown men chase an egg shaped ball around whilst mud wrestling, it can be most amusing. This year lots of countries are going to be playing against each other here in New Zealand. The NZ team are called the Fit As Blacks ...

Oooo, I feel a column coming on.

I dont think I will worry to much about it......add solar panels and a little marine turbine and you dont need to be on the grid....store your secondary water and get a veggie patch and a few reeds and you will be laughing. Might even run the car on oil from the chip pan...........its a land of invention....cheers.....john
