What they heck does the real one look like then? Id crap myself if i saw that

They're only little!

Hurrrrooo Rob. Loved the pictures of your cats last night. They look like real outdoor cats, very lean and healthy looking. They also seem to be devoted to each other.

But looking at these latest piccies I have a few questions

1) Why would anyone want to live in that hell hole??

2) Do blackbirds sing with a kiwi type accent

3) Scorpions!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooo

4) Ah not a scorpion, but a SPIDER pretending to be a scorpion

I knew you'd like the spiders!

I knew you'd like the spiders!

The picture of Wellington an sign to cable car was instantly recognisable.

Have you had chance to see the clock in the old Bank of NZ building - at 12 mid-day - you need to video that!

Any pics of South Island?

Roads on S.I. are even better for long straights.

Have you seen film 'The fastest Indian' about motorcycle records?
