Thanks that's amazing. It's unbelievable in hindsight what we do for our dogs. I remember sailing up the Hutt river in a ten foot dinghy and old out board engine with my two german shepherds in the back and then getting entangled in some guys net.
getting back to the subject of wine, well beer actually. Have you hears that DB Breweries have copyrighted the name "Radler" in NZ? Radler is actually a style of beer - a bit like a shandy. DB have a "radler" which is really a lager and lime. Green Man brewries made an authentic Radler which they have now been forced to renamed "Cyclist" since they can't afford the legal costs of taking DB to court. Seems someone in the NZ copyrright authority cocked up and allowed DB to copyright Radler.
I believe that people are talking about boycotting DB and Monteiths. This is the only way to get back at arrogant corporations. Radler shouldn't have been allowed to be copyrighted - the authority indeed cocked up. DB have made a major PR mistake in underestimating their customers. Its a pity that Green Man have wimped out thgough.

Seeing that picture reminded me of Ian Fergusson - not.
John Locke, you should be practising and not worrying about beer.
word verification was 'scrotum'.

At the moment I'm too busy feeling sorry for the kayak in your picture.

Word verification is 'doursub'!!!!
Looking low in the water trhere. I guess it is all the snapper that you've caught.
