Just heard that young Abby Sunderlands’ boat has been found and she is safe aboard…..has to be great news for all concerned. The next thing is to watch and see what happens when the French fishing vessel gets to the scene. Good luck girl!!!

cute little buggar, isn’t it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these so I posted this one to share around. Kiwis, eats, roots, shoots and leaves.

Hardly seems plausible

I struggle to see how 2 men chasing a guy for over 200 metres and him getting bashed to death with 2×2 wooden stakes can plausibly claim it was in ‘self defence’. This is a situation I would not like to in…….that is, having to be on the jury to decide that one…..good luck to whoever gets that job!!!!

It was a great afternoon to find out that the students will now not be doing frivilous mind numbing “revision” but will be introduced to some topics that I hope they will new and mentally stimulating and interesting. (you too, jman)

Caught

I see that Justin is onto me. He has caught me watching his blog!!! Good to see that some one is blogging again. Blake started but soon as he got wow he lost interest again.

I have been up late most nights oveer the past 3 weeks as I’ve been watching the Tour De France and it doesn’t usually finish till after 1am most mornings. It sure is to see Cadel Evans doing so well, and with a great effort in the time trial tonight he may just make up the time needed to see him go into Paris tomorrow night in leaders Yellow Jersey again.

New comp

Martin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:23:06 +0000

The new darts comp has started and tonight we bummed badly. Lost 3 games to 8 but the team we played should be up in the second division but because there is an uneven number if teams in div 2 they were stuck into div 3. sux too bigtime.

I am 2 weeks into changing from right to left handed dart throwing and tho some of the team think it is an odd thing to do I seem to be grouping my darts better and accuracy is coming on too. I reckon that if I persist it will all come together eventually,……one hopes

darts again

This week we got put out of the finals 5games to 6. The others inthe team are pee’d off but not me. I didn’t want to up to 2nd division, am quite happy in 3rd div. (no sheep stations on the outcome in 3rds)

The assessment on Tuesday was a bit of a circus but next week will be much better WON’T IT GUYS AND GIRLS??? Make sure you have all your notes and your book and you will have all the answers at your fingertips……The questions won’t be any hader thn the last time.

I am strugling to keep up in access and as a result am not very much help to Linda….that has to improve (self reprimand here)

Darts last night

Martin — Thu, 15 May 2008 00:28:41 +0000

We finally managed to beat the unbeaten top team in our comp last night.

6 games to 5, damn it felt good as they won the first 5 games of the night, we came home in a rush though an took the round, as Jenn Jenn would say “woooo”.

Designated driver so no booze again. I do not drink much these days so no problem really.

I don’t care .I can accept a win against the top team sober, wooo.
