I hate you people. I have still never answered one of these correctly and first. 18. "Phwoar my pants" is the correct answer. |
11 could have been Rockall as well.... |
There's something poetical and evocative about the names of shipping forecast areas. I'm also glad to be snugly tucked up in bed at 5:05am when I hear Plenty, Colville, Brett, Kaipara, Raglan, Stephens, Cook, Castlepoint, Portland, Abel, Grey, Milford, Puysegur, Foveaux, Chalmers, Rangitata, Conway, Chatham Islands. |
Oh yes, thank you, childhood memories; when we only had one radio in the house tuned to Home or Light and NO TV. Happy days. Worker's playtime, Life with the Lyons, Journey into Space and Wakee Wakee! |
Great Aunt Annie: are you my Aunty Annie in Havelock North?! It's little Addie G here, Barbara's boy from Wellington. |
I have several nephews with unusual names, but none called Flash I regret to say. I went to Havelock North once, in the spring. It was very beautiful. Had a great pizza there. |
Hi Great Aunt Annie Yes, I think you'd remember if you had a sister called Barbara, too. Well done H Nth on the pizza. They do do food well there. |
