And what a review!
Don't worry, things pick up a little when monsters start showing up. Scratch that. MONSTER. There's just one, and all I remember was smacking it across the face with some blunt object.Teehee
Great start, much more informative than most...

"..most beautiful residential building.."
Seems that wine hasn't quite worked it's way through yet... -
I spent Waitangi Sunday at probably the most residential building I've ever been to, drinking Mt Difficulty wine, on the shores of an amazingly clean lake on a sustainability-award-winning farm thinking "this is a nice way to celebrate a rather grown-up NZ - great architecture, cutting-edge well-branded sustainable agriculture, mind-boggling wines and a natural environment to rival any in the world".
Like your day Russell it was a world away from the events at Waitangi - but at least part of the point of Waitangi is to engage with the historical roots of the day and recognise the coming together of Maori and Pakeha culture. My Waitangi weekend had none of that, and unfotunately redefining the day as a celebration of modern New Zealand does nothing for the significance behind the day itself.

Oh no Craig I really would be, don't ya think? =|
I'll run all possible joke comments past you in the future, given your tendency to a complete lack of offence on all matters, huh?

The National Government said today that they would crack down on "children" as a priority after news that children threw stones at a train driver.
"We take assault on our nationalised rail employees very seriously, so we'll be reviewing all laws around in-vitro fertilisation, Plunket funding, maternity care and the voting age within the next 6 months" Prime Minister John Key announced.

"If the fires that innately burn inside youths are not intentionally and lovingly added to the hearth of community, they will burn down the structures of culture, just to feel the warmth."
Very nice.

Gareth, you little beauty! Ask, and I did receive. :)
I had that half-written but your solo mum tip just rounded it out.
