I've been back on server for about a weekish, but this is my first run back through the forums, and thought I'd post a little something:

Finally made it to NZ, its excellent wicked and wonderful - you kiwis don't know ya bloody born (*grin*). I've been kayaking, shot from a catapult, mountain bikin, drivin around, lovin the buzz, and walking/sitting/running through the surf on the deserted (trully bugger all people about 24 hours a day, my beach i say....mine!) beach that is across the road from my house.

Had job interviews and that kind of thing and am awaiting results.

Ahhhhhhh.......this is the life.

Feng, Jub, and the rest of the boys will be back in full effect soon as, I'm just waiting for a conx of my own and to be honest, there is just to much excellent stuff to do.

I'll post a linky to some picys soon too (incase anyone is interested)

The way i heard it the sheep in NZ are now so scared of humans being fired from a catapult is the only way to catch them..

This is of course true, and for obvious reasons ... The Sheppard catapult was developed around six years ago, but there was always problems catching the sheep when you made contact at a hundred miles a hour ... This was until the velcro body suit was invented

*sigh* The sad thing is that Kiwi's did invent a velcro body suit...

Heh - I knew we had invented velco body suits because we used to use them at the pub around the corner from my flat at Uni. Rather I was commenting that we Kiwis don't always do ourselves any favours with the whole sheep joke thing - seriously if I had come up with the idea, I would have been sure to let everyone know I had "imported" it from Australia
