Hello there!

What part of NZ do you live?

<t>How was Portugal? Went to Lisbon last year, couldn't believe how many hashish peddlers there were, spolied the city somewhat. Apparently the authorities don't do anything about them because it's not hashish they're peddling at all - it's most probably tea leaves!<br/> <br/> The Algarve is a reall...

This is a very important topic for me being a Celtic language speaker. What can be done to reverse its decline?

It's changed a lot since then, will post photos soon;)

Really? How long ago was that?

I woz there in the nineties, loved the place, been back a few times, changing very fast now.

Ahhh, Rhossili - `the supermodel of all beaches`

Went to Uni in Bristol

Hello slippy, what's the weather like?

^No, but I was wondering if I could ask you a question. My partner and myself are thinking of going to NZ for 2 weeks hols, in your opinion, what part would be better to stay - North or South Island? Quite fancy going volcano watching, so I suppose the North would be best?

Thx
