Magic NZ Sporting Moment...

1936 - In front of Adolph Hitler at the 1936 games, Lovelock sets a World Record over the 1500 metre mark when he wins gold. The biased commentary of the BBC’s Harold Abrahams has become famous: “Five yards, six yards, he wins. He's won. Hooray!!" Photo: Alexander

If you are overweight, obese or fat - go by boat and train - or pay a fat tax...

If you are overweight, obese - go by boat and train - or pay up for an airlines "fat tax".
It's well past April Fools Day and the myriad of jokes that accompany April 1 each year.
You didn't think you would get away with all that excess weight did you? Your obesity may be catching up with you - may actually fly past you!
A British Court of Appeals victory for two airlines may have paved the way for airlines everywhere to introduce a "fat tax" for overweight passengers.
Judges have decided that key elements of Britain's disability and discrimination laws do not apply to passengers who have entered an aircraft.
So it may be time for a new diet, time to join a gym, time to lose some weight or you will be paying a fat tax every time you fly!!

The difficulties of learning written English...

The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse
We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
After a number of injections my jaw got number.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

  Some Kiwi workers are still valued by their employers...
  Mainfreight chairman Bruce Plested has given more than $4 million of his own money to his staff.
  He wanted to celebrate his seventieth birthday by saying thank you to the people he says have given so much to him. One thousand dollars has been given to everyone who has been with Mainfreight for a year or more, in New Zealand or overseas.
  The founder of the company says he has never felt fitter or happier.
  “A week before, I called up my lawyer and said "I still want to do this even if I don't make it to my seventieth’,” says Mr Plested. “Some people have really needed the money.”
  “I talked to the manager from Europe this morning and I said ‘is that amount of money when it is converted into euros still useful?’ and he said ‘oh hell yes, if you want an example you can buy a washing machine with it’.
  “I just wanted it to be a worthwhile amount; I thought about $100 and I thought about $500 and I thought it'll just disappear.
  “If it's a thousand I understand what that means in New Zealand dollars and it is a useful amount of dough.”
