Just Wondering.
« on: February 10, 2016, 03:51:12 PM »
Haven't been here long but I've noticed a change in the
general tone here lately to the point where I am a puzzled
little Puggle - then it occurred to me.

I've never experienced it, but you guys are snowed in yes?
Is the Navel Gazing and Pointless Bitching some are espousing
just the "Cabin Fever" I've heard of but never seen?

Not complaining, not trying to change anything, not pointing
the bone at anyone or anything - I like it here, just observing
and wondering.

Normal? Now there's a can of worms - define normal  :evil:
No don't bother.
I really have no idea what it's like and can only try to imagine.
And we do have winger's and self rightcheous Pussies here too,
Mostly Poms (joke).
Don't envy you the job - must be like herding sheep without
a Kelpie.

Maurie.

Now usually I can understand Awstrallyun - but when I saw this I got confused. As someone of Gaelic stock, I know what a Kelpie is(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpie), and I can't see how that would help herding sheep!

Hey if it's winter getting you lot down, would it help if I sent a picture of the awesome summer I'm having over here in NZ?
Or would that just piss you off and make it worse?


It's hot, I got all sweaty just typing that

It is 61 degrees here today, with the sun poking through the clouds. No rain, dry roads, fresh gravel on my farmhouse driveway--life is good!

Tomorrow, however, we are set for cooler weather and many days of rain...

That's betterer - shitstirring is much more fun.
An Aust. Kelpie is the best sheepdog in the world, the myth
says they have a touch of Dingo, as epitomised in the book
"Dusty" and the movie "Red Dog" not generally for cattle,
That's more Blue and Red Heeler territory as the dogs work
in different ways with different attitudes.

Having a good Summer in UnZud are you? So far we've been
from Summer to Autumn 3 or 4 times but then I am in

Bootiful day here in UnZud. Just done 4.1/2 hours sweating it out in the nephew's garden trimming trees, edges and hedges. Must admit our summer has been somewhat variable though.

Was a cooler start to summer up here in Nelson, but it's kicked off beautifully this year. Glad I bought me a mesh jacket!

Even I knew that, and I'm not from Austria..

Austria is where the kangaroos and wallabies live. It's an island nation in Europe, founded by British prisoners.

Australia is where The Sound of Music was filmed. It has Ayers rock in the middle, sometimes referred to as the Alps.

Luck to you Muzz.

Dusty - No shame there sport - The book was about the "Ancestral" Kelpie before they were a recognised breed.
I'm doggy so all dogs are good to me in their own way - but Kelpies are special to me, maybe because they saved
two of my Cousins from what could have been a "sticky" end. Yes there's a bit of a story but I won't bore you unless
someone wants to hear.

Scuddy lad - what are we gonna do with you, ya like a chook been' chased by a bloody Goanna, all over the place,
flappin' ya wings and getting' nowhere bloody fast.

Place was "founded" 60,000+ years ago by the Aboriginals, stolen by the Pommie nobility to use as a place to stick
anyone who wouldn't or couldn't fit into what they were building with the "Industrial Revolution". Stupid pricks thought
they were sending us to Hell but it was a Paradise. So they quickly set to work f***ing it up in any way they could think
of so as not to be seen to be wrong - an ongoing process being proudly performed by our arslicking, ball less, kowtowing
Politicians.

Oh - and it snot Ayers Rock - it's Uluru, geez, how much can a Koala bear.  :violent1: :popcorn:

Ok, Sasquatch is the man for photos of beautiful wahines draped over his sidechair rig. :grin: :evil:

Guzzi Gander in Auckland rents out Guzzis. Daniel Kalal uses them if my memory serves me correctly. June is not the worst time (usually) as the weather can still be settled. It will be colder though and it can also have decided to get nasty as well. Feb-March-April are usually pretty good.
