I'm back. And to celebrate, here is a story from a local paper over there. My apologies to all the good folk of NZ, this is not a fair reflection of your country, but it is very funny, I'm thinking of sending it in to Private Eye.Also, a joke: what do you call a woman who stands between goalposts? A: Annette. And by odd coincidence, Mt Annette was the peak I climbed from the Mueller hut. More on that in the photo-essay to follow "soon".
Also, a note: I'm switching comments to "only registered users" just as soon as I can work out how to do it. I'm a bit fed up with anonymous trolls, named trolls are so much better...
[Update: BL points out the obvious: that Cairns is in Australia (the "West Island") not NZ. Oops. I knew that... He also says that he would have posted that here, except I insist on only registered users. So for the moment, I'm turning that off again, since he is the second person to somewhat dislike that feature, and on reflection I don't need it]
This is so common it has been retired in news of the weird (newsoftheweird.com of course).
ReplyDeleteEli - oh dear, maybe I'll skip Private Eye then :-(
ReplyDeleteSteve - I wasn't quite sure what effect it would have. But I guess registering only takes a few secs, and you don't actually have to generate a blog. If its too annoying I could take it off again.
I could be persuaded to sell off the "Empty blog" name, especially if someone suggests an alternative :-)
