Oh, and I can state, from our recent South Island road trip, that bumble bees are mightily attracted to lavender.

We don't see many honey bees round our place, with a lot of (regenerated) native bush about. There's a few bumble bees but the prevalence is wasps. We have to have wasps' nests 'bombed' 2 - 3 times a year.
Does anyone know if wasps prey on bees? Can I blame vespa germanica for the lack of bees round our house?

Not just the canon - the whole damned clergy! ;-)

Joe,
that really gave me a good laugh - except maybe for the possessive 'my'.
Good on ya!

Craig, it seems I can't stop some form of geographical prejudice creeping in, but I promise you that I never wear a man-skirt with a Metallica t-shirt. (A man's got to have some sense of style, nesspa?)
Haven't donned the kilt since I was a wee fella and I don't even own a Metallica t-shirt. Just because I live in the west of West Auckland doesn't mean I have to adopt the entirety of the bogan lifestyle. Besides, a sarong and a Harley Davidson singlet is more my style ;-)

Does that make you the Caledonian equivalent of a self-hating jew ?

Unlikely. More to do with environment. Probably attributable to Scottish environment during developmental stages.
And I still don't care much for your tone.

Wily Joe, wash your mouth out with soapy water (or whatever the relevant technological equivalent...).
Would you have the thrasos to say the same thing with other minorities replacing the "Scottish" part of your post? See how it works with 'black' or 'gay' or whatever.

Thanks, Russell, for your post explaining all this complicated issue in a clear & concise manner (for those of us on the fringes & not actively involved in the issue).
It has cleared up some misunderstandings for me.
The wording that has been quoted from the bill shows that we aren't getting 'best practice' law definition from our government(s) and it makes us look kinda hicksville.

No need for the quote-marks, Emma, I am Stewart not someone pretending to be me.
And I agree, I would know if you were my sister.
