<QUOTE>and keep the hobby hose to myself</QUOTE>
You should check your local council website - down these here parts we can only get our hobby hoses out every 2nd day.
Well, that's if we're leaving them unattended for any length of time.

It seems to be the Act-aligned kiddies who display the worst behaviour.
Well it's their wilderness years (I'm sure they'd appreciate some biblical allusion). We can look forward to more of the same until they eventually peter out completely.
Although I have this recurring nightmare that a month out from the next election, Rodney Hide wins Celebrity Treasure Island & his & his party's popularity soars when the sex tape featuring him, Rebecca Loos & Nicky Watson is leaked to a hungry media.

i propose by recommendation from industry heads and/or local church groups using an STV system.
How about good old croneyism, nepotism & bribery? If it's good enough for an august body like the IOC...

So no hunting knives or eager pig dogs then?
I must admit, that there was a moment when, if I'd had a gun or machete handy....

I must admit, having counted the livestock & found them all present, it was a bit disconcerting when some other large animal that shouldn't be there suddenly reared its head...
Those pigs are pretty stubborn beasts to push back through a fence though.

That's nuthin I tell ya!
I found a pig on the property this weekend! A PIG!
Not to mention I found, for the first time ever, rabbit holes.
And pukekoes.

Wasn't it Simba?
Which was the Lion King? Simba or Kimba? The White Lion was the other.
But the villain was the dead father's brother, who had a scar too.

pitched it to the kids as proto-anime
Which it totally is!
Andrew remains looking youthful because of his full head of hair
No-one can remember what its original colour was though. I was thinking of dying it dark brown for my 40th - but after a grilling from the pharmacy person, the process sounded too hard.
Now my 50th is approaching (a few years yet though), I'm wondering if hair dye technology has advanced.
Back on topic - I watched Gigantor in Britain, I believe it was on a Saturday morning just before Thunderbirds, which was then followed by Ron Ely as Tarzan (two themes to that one I remember - they changed it between season).
Kimba & Speed Racer did not make my acquaintance until I came here. The lion King totally ripped Kimba off BTW.

Bigger than big, taller than tall... Gigantor!
If I had the capacity to retain something useful instead of years & years of obscure TV themes to shows that I mostly didn't like anyway, I might have made something of myself.

I haven't done the google/wikipedia thing, but I suspect that the absence of Gigantor (the space age robot - he's. at. your command! Gigantor the space age robot, he's a-a-a-at your command... Giga-a-a-a-ntor!) from our screens is also related to the lack of other Japanese fare such as Kimba the White Lion (Who's the king in deepest darkest africa...) and Speed Racer (Here he comes, here comes speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels. He's a demon & he's gonna be chasing after someone...).
I liked Gigantor too, but found the latter two somwhat cloying.
