  At least yours is signed by a person.

  But although I know all that, I don't get any response by Collins, Tolley and I had JK say we are passing your mail on to someone else who I said I had also sent one to and explained why I included him. Nada.Heatley is a first from National. Labour ,no probs, Greens ,no probs, Act, no probs. Maori Party ,no response.Point is in all this .
  HE IS TAKING EMAILS OF COMPLAINT!! Somebody may be interested.

  So I sent an angry email to Heatley yesterday, and blow me down with a feather I got a response! So I put up the response which basically says nothing but I am impressed my anger was at least noted. That anger went like this…..
  Mr Heatley,
  May I just say, I am appalled at you and your government’s behaviour (yet again) with your blatant disregard of fellow human beings. Just because some NZ citizens do not make the same level of income that we pay you, does not mean you are better. I would even proffer does not make you smarter. Your shift to call centres for cost cutting and your preference to enact redundancies is sheer stupidity in such times when the Economy is begging for a boost , which, if any of your Party actually checked facts is proven time and time again a need to retain jobs. Pray tell me, where are the 170,000 jobs Key so happily mouthed off? I can only see thousands on the dole queue. Perhaps if you stopped doing up the Winz offices ,we could put that money towards the offices for HNZ that you find worth abolishing. The Internet and Phone lines are not a necessary priority for those feeding ,clothing and housing families in need. And now you insist on that for the vulnerable. That is cruelty. Lord help you should your situation ever change. Oh that’s right you expect churches to takeover.
  I pay rates .I vote. I own my own house.I am appalled at your arrogance. Actually this disgusts me.
  Sincerely
  Sofie Bribiesca

  And he replied (See above)

  Diaz, really? I don’t find her that sexy.

  She wasn't worst dressed. I think she has a very hot bod, considering she does none of the dieting,exercise fads. She surfs and does a bit of sport. Pretty sexy if you can get it, in my book anyhow. Sorry to say it, I can't find movies seriously important. Maybe she doesn't either....

  I'm going to say it anyway, having a lower productivity doesn't make you lazy or mean you work less hard.

  Thank you.

  I don’t care what anyone was wearing.

  Neither do I, but for Kate whatserface to suggest that Cameron Diaz was worst dressed (Kate in her Victorian tablecloth of a top) needs fucking glasses. Diaz could be in pyjamas and still look sexy.
  Plus I liked The Descendants, and probably because George was in it, but also because of the oh so common, day in the life of aspect. Still as Ben Wilson suggests, school(ed) prize giving.

  Gloriosa rothschildiana likes it ‘moist but not soggy’

  Whoops one word, should check huh? While I'm at it ,the photos of plants from others places are not of my making. I would be in the front garden today doing some work if not for the pulled muscles in my neck/shoulder/arm. Hell even typing is no walk in the park.
  Well Frangi on the deck seems happy at least

  Plus the other half asked for a Port Wine Magnolia, and after a couple of years it has the occasional buds. so I guess it thinks it's spring today :)

  it quite pleasantly knocked me for six last time I was in New Zealand.

  Thanks Chris W and I concur, we are lucky here.
  I pretty much am growing everything I photograph in the plant department. There is a couple of plants I have not grown yet but want to, Gloriosa Rothschild Diana being one, but we are getting more rain this year and the front of our place is indicative of that. It needs one helluva going over but still, one of my favourite palms, Karyota (of which there are now 4) is a pleasure....
