Now, I understand. Wellington likes to sell itself as the arts capital of NZ. It has to, since there absolutely nothing else going for it.
Last time I was down there, I reckon I was fishing with the kids from that very spot. Great place to catch stingrays.
It was, however, made by a Pommy!
If you know Wellington, even that's explained. The wind is usally blowing a gale from the direction it's facing, which is why Wellington residents develop a list after a few years there.Quote:

I wonder how many Wellingtonian maidens are going fall in to the harbour trying to answer that very question.
That depends upon whether there is anything to hang on to.Quote:

It's the last day they have to wear uniform and a hundred or so of them dive in every year in full school uniform. Being summer and all in white blouses....
Popular event, that!
Lucky he's made of bronze.
Seems that the world economic situation has penetrated the fastness of W. Yorks. I'm allowed only one Hobnob with my tea tonight. Have I lost my AAA credit rating at the post office? Or is Mrs P on one of her diets that always seems to include me in its privations? Cold Comfort Farm it is.
I'm supposed to be observing one - no chocolate cake biscuit etc etc. I often just forget though and end up absentmindedly stuffing something in.
Diets are a tool of Satan.Quote:

Nothing wrong with observing a diet. I often observe one. "Ah, darling, I observe that you're avoiding your roast potatoes. May I?"Quote:

I've lost well over a stone in about four months, which is a sensible rate of shed, I think. Needless to say, this is all without any kind of exercise at all. I even get someone at the office to walk over to the Wharf at lunchtime to bring back my hoi sin duck sushi ("187 calories. Fill yer boots, sunshine.")
We do love Satan.Quote:

Harder to lose these days.
