A long shot but in the early/mid-80s, at the old Coachman Hotel in Christchurch, they used to serve a cocktail called A Walk In The Park. Apparently it was the creation of one of the staff there. All I can remember is that it had Frangelico in it, possibly a fruit juice, possible vodka and Malibu, and was garnished with jelly crystals around the rim of the glass...
Anyone remember this and might remember the recipe...? More about Cocktail: A Walk in the Park -
Got Netflix free for a year and Lightbox through Spark...the slection on Netflix is bar far and away the better one...interfaces are much the same between the two but I also like that my Sony Bluray player has the Netflix app so I can access directly instead of messing around with my phone, computer ets... More about Netflix or Lightbox?

The time for a new flag is when there is a substantial change to ourselves as a nation e.g. if we became a republic, annexed Australia or sliced off Auckland...until that point, the exercise is pretty pointless and without the catalyst of major chnage is a process we can distract ourselves with endlessly...

Backing on to a national park, cats are out: too predatory...we have two great dogs who couldn't catch a cold...so it's an easy decision. If we were back in town, we'd still be opting for dogs: way more character and loyalty: cats always just look at you funny: you're never sure whether they're saying 'nice dinner' or 'I'm going to get all of you while you're sleeping'....

Don't really wear a suit much these days unless someone has died so a back pack works for me - one with plenty of pockets so I can be semi-organised, and also means I can carry a reasonable amount of shopping, book for the bus, etc. More about Man Bags

Where do you get your caffeine hit?
Best coffee I ever had was in Brisbane in 2012...a little breakfast bar just around the corner from where we were meeting...did a great bacon and egg sarny too...Back in NZ, i tend to make my own in the morning and only buy coffee if it is as part of a meeting...unless I really know the place there is now just too much quality range between cafes and even barristas in cafes...
