    It's not as if Paris is Brigadoon, FFS...

    Not as far away as you may think.

    Origins of the story

    Lerner's book was based on a much older German story by Friedrich Gerstäckerlater translated by Charles Brandon Schaeffer, about the mythical village of Germelshausen that fell under an evil magic curse. In 1947, memories of World War II were too fresh to present a German-themed musical on Broadway, so Lerner reimagined the story in Scotland, complete with kilts, bonnie lasses, bagpipes, Highland flings and "Heather on the Hill".

    at least under iwi ownership they could put a sign up saying private property, no vehicles allowed and block access.

    Nothing stopping you putting up a sign anyway, saying something like "Keep off the shellfish" who would argue? even Rednecks have some understanding, surely?.

    Oh and yes. Downloaded and enjoyed. Thank you David... and Blair of course... and I suppose Russell should be thanked for delivery of the lubricant that made it happen.
    Cheers.

    Nice David. The banjo gets a bad name from its association with 'rural trash' and inbreeding stereotypes,

    So... you've heard him play before then?.

  • Speaker: It's meant to be hard,

    The title of this post was paraphrasing an American President wasn't it? No don't tell me... I know this one...
    It was Clinton wasn't it.
    "We don't do these things because she was easy, we do these things because it was hard"
    Fnarr fnarr.

    Now here's an idea for a show, How Low can You Go?
    In which once high flying money traders and speculators go down the tubes as we watch them suffer the indignity of normalcy and beyond. See them descend from the heights of feline corpulence to sewer rat, from mendacious Merrill Lynchian morbidity to leader of a Machiavellian mob ruining a small country in the south Pacific.
