Re: "Weta your Whistle'-the all new Kiwi bar
Yup, it's a whole school thing (primary). Calves, lambs, goats, piglets, cats, dogs, whatever they have. They have to tell the judges about the animal, how they look after it etc. and the larger animals have to do a short obstacle course of gates etc. Followed by a sausage sizzle and cake sale. Amazingly under control 
Get on the phone and give them hell! We have a large dustbin full of vodka-will that be big enough?
trying to understand why Vodafone have taken $167 out instead of $85. I need a rather large jug or bucket of alcohol. Anything will do. Any suggestions?

Self service I think tonight. Well the white wine has all gone and now the Baileys too. I could have a G&T but I think that might make me sick after all that Baileys.
I've changed the music as well. All that rap and hip hop and shite was doing my head in so we are back to 80s classics. Songs with words and not just electronic music.
I'm dancing right now.

Methinks I need something alcoholic to get rid of this nagging cough I've got. I'm open to trying anything as cough syrup/camomile tea with honey just doesn't cut it for some reason

Re: "Weta your Whistle'-the all new Kiwi bar
No idea. I did say "don't ask". When one of my kids first got a bad case of conjunctivitis, I went to the chemist to buy medicine. The chemist could have sold me medicine and it's not cheap here. Instead he said "Signora try this first - stew a camomile t-bag in hot water. Let it brew. Dip some clean cotton wool into the tea and wipe and clean and the eyes several times a day."
A couple of months later the same kid had his vaccines with the proper paediatrician and I mentioned this conjunctivitis and camomile and even she said "oh yes, well known, worked didn't it? Nobody yet has told me why it works apart from the fact that camomile is a mild antiseptic or astringent or cleanser or something .... but it did work and more than once because I did the same thing with my second child for scabby eyes. Why do English people think cucumber relaxes your eyes?

So this evening I rectified that
