Queen Elizabeth Park Masterton New Zealand

Hey Kiddies.
Two old faves.
Dennis  and Roy.
the best.
they dont make em like that any more and they dont make pictures like that any more.
anyway.
Just watched 'Flashback" and 52 Pickup.
revised opinion.
flashback is funny and 52 pickup is a spine tingler.
one of Elmore Leonards best.
elmore leonard was a member of the bill and bob club and my guess is he got a lot of his material from creeps looking for easy scores in recovery.
Been looking for Queen Elizabeth Park on the wiki. feeble stuff there.
but...
Queen Elizabeth Park Masterton is home to some of the most beautiful trees in the world.
when I was a boy it was full of mystery and and the park lake was filled to the brim and you could get lost there.
They used to have catch the greasy pig competitions there on Friday nights and athletics and grass bike racing.
now its crummy restaurants where the better people go to watch the peasants sporting  and noisy fairground rides.
the thing is the Masterton District Council is still living off the capital from the people who founded the park and planted it out in the first place coming up for two centureis ago.
now its a toy for inane councillors who want to leave their mark and think they know best.
When was the last time a tree was planted in the park?
answer that.
time to write to your Councillors and start asking for more trees instead of plastic gew gaws.
Write to the Queen too.
Tell her how the ninnies have used her name and squandered the inheritance.
she would love to hear from you.
Tell her we need more trees and NO more asphalt and plastic.
there is enough there already.
