In short, a wonderful location for a young family.
Congratulations, it's a beautiful spot. You did good finding somewhere quiet. At the picturesque & entertaining Warwickz Farm right on the main highway there the noise level from the passing trucks can put Blenheim Road to shame. Still a great place with heaps of exotic livestock which adds to the charm of the neighbourhood no end.
Here's Mr Bruce displaying one of his top chooks during the Devonshire tea. Recommend the scones.

Hard News: It was a munted year, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I wouldn’t put it past Bob, our ‘Great Communicator’, to have got it wrong in the heat of the moment…
Bob's as good as the scripts he's fed. It's when his minders attempt to get down with the kids that things go awry.

In keeping with the 'munted' zeitgeist, the 16 pic portfolio from Chris Skelton, Stuff's top photographer of the year, includes one dead body, one major deformity, two amputees, and one, well, munter.

I mean, who eats little fluffy ducklings? Pukeko, that’s who.
Grim stuff Jackie. Seems their barge-arsed relatives do it too.

The uber dick of his age.? OK. In what regard?
As author of Poor Richard's Almanac. Richard. Dick.
Even had a ship named after him, or at least his nom de dong. -

How quick we forgot but didn't forget....
The Facebook Justice for Arie page is still pretty active.
Somehow I get the impression that he's not interested in being a public face. Good for him. -

12. “Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.”
Ben was around 20 when he made that list, and he would appear to have modified his views over time on point #12. While the consensus seems to be that tales of his later-life gout-ridden lechery are exaggerated, Ben didn't seem averse to hyping his own legend.

It may be of interest that 'red-stickered' is currently being increasingly used in Nelson.
So I've noticed, and without the media feeling the need to explain their use of the term. My sympathies, being yellow stickered was more than enough for me.
