Thommo was sheer blistering bullying pace also he was a team man, Hadlee never was.
You got Warne you don’t need Hadlee.
Holding Marshall Thommo and Warne. People were scared by them, Hadlee got them out but they didn’t fear them
I would have Border in ahead of Lara then , he can bat and a brilliant uncompromising captain

Lara can’t be left out- Test average of 52 and hit four hundred in a Test…. four bloody hundred!

AB was a great batsman though, and a fine captain.

Other batsmen I considered were Gooch, Miandad, Dravid and Ponting.

Bowlers in the mix were McGrath, Pollock, Ambrose

Allrounders Botham and Imran…

Dream as in I wish I could bowl like him.. Not impure thoughts.

Christ is he still alive. I thought he croaked years ago. Ahh the memories of willow on leather.. I used to wear leather pants and at times was flogged with a length of willow. Just joking.

Johnboy. Matron thought I was very special and believed a good spanking would cleanse my impure thoughts. I was not a boarder so our meetings were brief and during daylight. Saint Patricks sounds like St Bedes down in Christchurch. They were into flagellation and sheep.

All this talk makes me want to phone Len Brown so we can bond.

” They were into flagellation and sheep.”

Now there’s a thought for a Charter School…”Federated Farmers Flagellation Finishing school”

Or “4F’s”….. Where marks on yer arse mean a pass! 🙂

Those brothers were very intense. They must have had an interest in anatomy as they preferred you to strip off before they flogged you.

Matron was upset with the sight of the bruises on my rear and had nice soft hands that she rubbed in a sweet smelling oil. It was worth the pain.

Looking forward to the wedding night. I have a digital video camera with infrared capabilities.

Keep the batteries charged RF. It could be a while till the wedding. nasska and I both have to murder our wives and get away with it and then have the banns read at the Ekatahuna/Wainui cossy clubs before we can even consider selecting a suitable woolen wedding dress for nasska!

Longknives.

How about Big Bird Joel Garner – sending down cricket-boot crushing yorkers at 140 kph from about 12′ up – he was very difficult to get away.

Urbanization Has Been Destroying the Environment Since the Very First Cities

“It’s easy to believe that humankind’s earliest cities existed sustainably within the natural ecosystem, unlike modern megalopolises, fed and sustained by vast tracts of farm land and a global economy. But, as a team of researchers studying the ancient city of Akko found out, human cities have been radically transforming the environment since at least 6,000 years ago.

You could see how the ancient city consumed resources as they were close at hand. Now those resources (and polutions) are spread far and wide.

Lyn Provost
Auditor-General
New Zealand

‘Open Letter’

Dear Lyn,

Over the Christmas break, I took the opportunity to study the:

“Inquiry into the Government’s decision to negotiate with Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd for an international convention centre”

(February 2013 )

I note that this inquiry was actually carried out by the Deputy Auditor-General Phillippa Smith.

In the Deputy Auditor-General’s overview, (Pg 3) she states:

“In June 2012, I announced that this Office would carry out an inquiry into the process that the Ministry of Economic Development (the Ministry) followed leading up to the Government’s decision to negotiate with SKYCITY Entertainment Group Ltd (Sky City) about developing an international convention centre in Auckland. 1

………………….

1 The Auditor-General has a small shareholding in Sky City so she has not been involved in this inquiry. ”

____________________________________________________________________________

http://www.oag.govt.nz/2013/skycity/2013/skycity/docs/inquiry-into-the-government2019s-decision-to-negotiate-with-skycity-entertainment-group-limited-for-an-international-convention-centre

Can you please confirm whether or not you still have ‘a small shareholding in Sky City’?

YES or NO?

If NO, can you please confirm the date when you ceased to be a shareholder in Sky City?

Can you please acknowledge receipt of this correspondence at your earliest convenience?

Kind regards,

Penny Bright
___________________________________________________________________________

(If Auditor-General Lyn Provost is still a shareholder in Sky City, there may be some significant repercussions and developments on this matter………….. )

For those who have yet to read the above-mentioned “Inquiry into the Government’s decision to negotiate with Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd for an international convention centre” – I strongly recommend that you do.

It is a FASCINATING read – on so many fronts ……….

Penny Bright

My post on the decision of the government to award the tender to build the ferry for the Tokelau Islands to a firm in Bangladesh and thus save taxpayers millions of dollars.

You could save the taxpayer even more money by NOT buying a fricken ferry for Tokelau inn the first place.

An atheist is granted asylum in the UK on the grounds of his belief.

Personally I would have thought the ground would have been right of freedom from (persecution by Moslems) religion.
