Squirrel versus Grasshopper

Ive seen this posted elsewhere, there are UK, Australian and US versions basically the same. So we shouldn’t feel stink, the grass aint greener on the other side! But its still pretty funny.

The wild version:

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

The End… or is it?

Bye bye trees…

For anyone that knows our house you will know there is a run of some 21 pine tree’s along the back (southern) fence. Well as of today they are no more!

All 21 of them have been chopped down, very exciting stuff. We had just about the whole Pakuranga-Rahihi playcentre (kids, mums & dads) around to watch the felling, I am sure much to the amusement of the guys doing it!

I am sure the neighbours down the back will be pleased as the tree’s completely blocked the sun for them. From our perspective the back lawn seems heaps bigger and sunnier!

Evils of drink

After a nasty run in with a bottle of cheap bourbon on Friday night I would like to officially come out in support of the teetotaler campaign! Drink is evil we should burn all of it and stick to water!!!:-)

Three simple steps to alcohol poisoning:

1. Buy bottle of bourbon
2. Drink bottle of bourbon
3. Pass out

Down on the school yard

Speaking of STD’s what is up with the main political parties here in NZ at the moment?

Its becoming more and more like some b grade american high school TV drama that wouldn’t cut it in on the graveyard shift let alone prime time…

Helen/Don/et all – GET OVER IT AND GET ON WITH RUNNING THE COUNTRY.

Do you really think anyone wants the leaders of their country engaged in this schoolyard behavior? What sort of example are you setting?

You’re meant to be the leaders of a whole country for gods sake, not bickering schoold children running for primmer 2 class president.

And to the media who seem to complain this is going on and then report it anyway… stop reporting it and it will go away…

My answer to the whole thing… Everyone in parliment admits that they are cross dressing, bisexual, bigamists who enjoy tupping, cross dressing and have an addiction to [-insert random activity here-]. They should also state that before they entered parliment they once did a few naughty things (make them up if you didn’t) but learnt the error of their ways and are now better for it. In fact before you can join a political party or run for a seat in any national or local body you should have to sign a declaration saying something like this. Then just sit back and let the gutter tabloid press run stories for 3 years on it until the next election while you all sit back and focus on the trivial task of running the country.

ANZ Bank does Feltex

Poor Feltex. But I hate to say it, you dance with the devil and your gonna get burnt. The ANZ is like the town slapper, she’ll say “yes” to anyone who asks, and you think your doing alright. Then you wake up in the morning and realise not only have the beer goggles stopped working but she’s given you the “mydy”. Basically my experience with the ANZ is that you cant trust them. Good luck to Feltex, hope you get out of it OK.

Top Gear presenter suffers brain injury

ROCKET CAR + REALLY FAST + CRASH = BAD!!

I really like that show and Richard Hammond in particular I find great, so its sad news. Hope that he recovers, but the news out of the UK doesnt sound great!

This on the back of Brocky’s fatal crash and Steve Irwin’s run in with a bull ray its not been a good time to be a celebrity. I don’t mean to be too dark but why is it all the “good” celebs that are getting hurt? Just think back to Sir Peter & Kevin Smith in not too far back times.

I mean aside from malnutrition that an ethiopian orphan would be ashamed of you never hear of Nicole Richie or one of the Olsens having a serious injury while driving home pissed after a night snorting champagne! Where is the justice?!

Like I said, hopefully Richard recovers OK.

Great CD

I was a bit of a closet Rockstar Supernova fan for the latest series, wasn’t happy that Lukas won it but hey they were all pretty damn good. Anyways I bought Ryan Star’s CD that he released last year. 20 songs, real intense, moody, piano based “rock”. Bloody good. Would definitely recommend and hope to hear more from him in the future…

I am Mr Bloggy :-)

Okey Dokey!

As I have become way too busy to maintain my own site on a regular basis (tigy.net) so I thought I would give this blogging a crack!

I copied across the main posts from tigy to this one, you’ll see them below. This just makes it seem like I’ve been doing this longer than 1 day

The last year has been pretty full on. We’ve sold, bought and moved houses, had a baby, been working flat out, not taking much time to relax… Looking forward to a bit of a holiday and catch up with everyone!

Fe & the kids bought me a new game for my playstation (fathers day present)…

Very cool, very addictive, very too much staying up late playing

Anyways I will update this site to let you know whats going on.
