Re: Happy Waitangi Day Kiwis

Re: Alert: Shrove Tuesday 13th Feb

Well as we are back in the UK now, at least I won't be cooking them in the height of summer anymore. I was very pink by the time I'd finished making them!

Re: Shrimps On The Barbie

You certainly have had very stressful times with your neighbours over a long period of time, so I'd just go with whatever comes into your head.

Re: Shrimps On The Barbie

I was introduced to the word wazzock by my eldest brother back in about 1975. I assumed he picked it up at his Grammar School in Prescot. He referred to someone as being a stony-eyed wazzock and the...

Re: Insurancers - House - contents - car.

You're absolutely right tdrinker. We have a roof over our heads and the locals are friendly. Being with dad would not be a great place to be and the Airbnb was good but could never be a long-term...

I remember talking to a woman about 15 years ago in Gulf Harbour. She and her OH did the 6/6 thing. I think they were retired, she was a volunteer on Tiritiri Matangi Island in the NZ Summer months....

Re: Current weather and quakes in NZ. All OK?

I know how much you loathe earthquakes. The not knowing was one of the worst bits for me. We didn't experience many in Auckland but when we had a couple close together, I was always waiting for the...
