Oh God, I see you are approaching the 'milestone post' of 666 - will you burst into flame on that one?

Tell you what - you take it with you, I will serve it to you in a fancy glass on my deck admiring the view of our gully section in the sunshine, wearing factor 30 suncream - how does that sound?
Oh, OK, we have some you can have!

Nah, you can keep your whisky and whiskey - Steve might attempt to grapple them out of your grasp but I don't care for either
If you have several cates of lager I might be interested though.....
Having spoke to my bad boys in Scotland i can only surmise that the weather is pretty similar. No 2 son tells me he has only caught the sun once this summer and he usually goes very brown.

Its bloody daft. How can we call this summer??
The weeknd was fantastic, unlike the ususal Uk bank holiday but its grey and threatening to rain as we speak. I am going to get a nice hot coffee and have a smoke........I even have to do that outside now thanks to the smoking ban.
Damn and blast.

Lager it is then.........I will make sure the barrel is ready for you when you come down to Tauranga/Papamoa/Mt Maunganui or where ever else we end up.

I take that as an open-ended invitation - thanks mate!!
I will cure you of smoking at the same time!
To kick off with - have you ever done the wee test with the paper tissue? No?
Well, take a paper tissue and fold it in half. Take a mouthful of smoke, don't inhale and blow it out through your mouth, through one side of the tissue. Now, take a good, deep inhalation of smoke right down into your lungs and blow it out onto the other side of the tissue. Compare the two. The inhaled drag left less of a mark on the tissue? That is because the rest of it is in your lungs . Draw your own conclusions from that.........

Gonna try that when I get home.

I did say to Rog that when the house sells I would give up one or the other, just can't do both. I hear ciggies are expensive in NZ. If thats the case I should give it up now really. The NHS are even helping with prescription charge patches as well so no time like the present I suppose.

Let me just finish this pack......

Its not the ciggies that are expensive its the health care/ cigs I'm Not a smoker but OH is costs a fortune or a drop in brand standard if you want to carry on when you get here. Don't get any help here in NZ OH gave up for a year but stress of move started him off again.

Brussels that was a long held view however DNA testing suggests that Moriori and Maori may well be one and the same.

Similar testing in the UK suggests that the Danes and Anglo Saxons may well be one and the same.

The difference being a few hundred years and a lot of attitude

My rellies tell me that is NOT correct. The Moriori lived hundreds of years before the Maoris (maybe they were more like the NZ equivalent of the Aboriginals in Oz), they were originally warlike, but became very peaceful after seeing their population decreasing. They WERE very different from Maoris, they did not kill off all the birds and animals where they lived, preferring to manage the available food sources.
They lived on the Chatham islands and on mainland New Zealand. The last Moriori, Tommy Solomon only died in the last century. My relly built some community houses on the Chathams and he said that he came across Moriori relics frequently.

My rellies told me that some trolls lived on the Chathams too, statues were built in their likeness (complete with outrageously coloured hair and wide eyes), jaunty rubber relics that the ancient people used to fit on top of pencils have been found in many archaelogical sites. It was very difficult to tell whether a troll was male or female, or even a parent

With respect to your rello, DNA is pretty convincing Brussels

They also did not kill off all the birds and animals where they lived, preferring to manage the available food sources.
