"and only watched by the great goat's cairngorm eyes"
-dunno who wrote that but I've remembered it for 50 years (and discovered it was true when I first arrived on the Wet Coast...)

O! A name like " The Oyster Inn" would call me in every time! Never been to Waiheke either - thanks Damian! Another one to put on the 'when I win Lotto I will do' list...

FG thinks that was in reference to the Phillipines, the subject of the preceding paragraph.
In Otago, the local Roman Catholic churches have been vivfied- there are masses

Capture: The Castle, in reply to BenWilson,
Pipes have always been annoying things to light because the bowl points down,
Dear Ben – as pipe smoker for nearly 50 years*, may I say pipes are very easy to light?
It’s how your tobacco is tamped!Your tobacco may be dense, with lots of additives – or not.Maybe it’s threadcut Virginia. But! Pack it in too hard- it doesnt matter about the bowl shape (and frankly, calabash bowl styles would disprove your theory)- it’ll be hard to light…
BUT! As a firework lighter- yesss!
I’d buy one right now!*I started smoking my uncle Bill's cigarillos when I was 12. 2 years later, I started smoking one of my grand-dad's pipes...
