Hah found some nifty photos of Cessna 185's. all from the Vietnam war.

Why is it so hard to get decent piccies of this aircraft.

there are plenty about but most show the wrong proportions and never the best line of the aeroplane.

Like the early ford mustangs the 185 is one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever made but the photos are always ugly!

Dig the poster for the Pete WErnick DVD how to jam on bluegrass tunes.

this DVD has several tunes played both fast and slow to let the beginner build up to speed.

Why are there precious few of these DVDs in NZ.

no one can answer this question/.

Teachers too busy trying to pass of faux Maori as the real thing and the first language of this country when it is not.

Don't get me wrong.

I love listening to Te Karere and other programmes and the gentle lilt of the language but I don't speak it and never will no matter how much it says New Zealand to me.

My Samsung g111 does not come with Maori Instructions and Boeing Aircraft Company and Airbus don't bring out maintenance manuals in Maori and they don't have them in Japanese in Japan.

Skool teachers in this country seem to come from a certain education attainment level which allows them to dismiss reality in favour or wishful thinking.

And

Call me Katrina Batten a ho.

All right Katrina.

You a ho.

Nah I didnt mean that Katrina.

You gotta watch out for those 'homonyms' dudess.

and fyi there is no correct pronunciation for any word.

anybody who tells you there is is trying to bully you into sounding just like them and as we al lknow individuals are unique and that includes pronunciation.

I wanted to stay off politics this week but there is another piccy of Fran Wilde in the Times Age telling us stuff we already know and trying to confuse the issue

She attacks the Mayor of South Wairarapa for sins of omission but then she doesn't tell us what the truth is.

the truth is of course that Frans Wiled is not content to be chair of the regional authority.

She wants to be de facto Governor of this whole region.

The answer to that is a resounding no!

We may get it wrong first time around but that will not stop us putting it right late if we have to without being committed to Frans Wildes self promoting blah.
