"Whats happened to our New Zealand connection"

I just noticed that I havn't seen our Kiwi friends for awhile.

I cant remember us flogging the Kiwi's in any sports lately and as of late their the ones flogging us....lol...so I better shut up....need to stay low when things arn't going our way....hehehe

Where are you guys....pop in say hello.

I'm missing Robby's images.

Still around Tony, just been very quiet lately.
Clouds have dominated our skies for the last couple of months and my mount has cobwebs.. Seriously!
As for sport where do I start...
You guys wrapped us on the nukkles with the Warriors penalty, so not happy about that. The Warratahs are looking prety dam hot in the Super14. And let's not even go near the Commonwealth games!
Are well there's always southcelestialpole.org if I really want to rant ...
Dunno about Gary though, he's been pretty quiet too. Must be the weather also!
Cheers & clear skies please!

Wati fizzled out in the Tasman just west. Dumped a fair bit of rain in the north and East but nothing we couldn't handle. Biggest bonus was the surf on the west coast up Taranaki. It was huge! Great for the surfers.
It was quite a sahllow low by the time it actually crossed the country and virtually dissappeared.
Still cloudy though!
Cheers

Yes I want to venture to NZ one day. Had a friend that went and never came back. Loved it so much he found a job and stayed there. It's on my list. One day.

Careful cj. The place has an affect on you. I've been a number of times and if I didn't love where I live so much and enjoy the work I do, I wouldn't have come back. It's an amazing country to visit. Hell I like it so much I married a Kiwi

Trying to bring some of the country back with you eh? Yes I have heard the countryside there is breathtaking. One day when I have bought a decent enough camera I will venture over for a week or so and check it out. Until then I have the Lord of the Rings. hehe.

I love NZ, I lived there as a young fella
In Auckland & Rotaroa.
I had a holiday in the south Island about 7 yrs ago too.
Awesome
I spoke with some Astronomers from Mt John observatory but never got the chance to get up there
