Re: sad about england
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.

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

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 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.........

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......

No, one of my rellies lived on Chatham islands for many years, and he was telling me about the Moriori people (they were a very peaceful people) and what the Maoris did to them. He had done many studies on the Moriori people, it was strongly suspected that they lived in NZ before the Maoris too
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

Re: sad about england
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.
