Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News
Talk SED.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be Welcome to Tuesday, people of news. My name is Marcus.
With you till twelve o'clock tonight, looking forward to what
you've got to say? How are you going people? What's
happening Marcus till twelve? The number is Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine to nine two to text, looking

(00:32):
forward to what you've got to say? If you want
to be a part of the show, Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty I hope it's all going well with you. Oh,
by the way, here's something I'm looking for, the name
of a tool. Oh yeah, this is kind of I
don't want to use the audience like Google. I couldn't
think I want a tool. Ilish hadn't said this now. Ah,

(00:54):
I don't know how to describe the tool I'm looking for.
This is a bad start to a show, isn't it.
I'm looking for a tool that's not a power tool
because the power tool didn't it didn't work. I'm looking
for a that can I think it might be called
and oh, I don't know what it might be called.
I'm looking for a drill that you can drill holes

(01:20):
in stumps of trees, and I'm imagining there's the drill bit.
Is that called the auger? I want to say auger
with a long bit that comes up and that you
can just I've seen it on forestry shows and yes,
twist it around, not a braceing bit, bit bigger than that. Anyway,
it says I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking, well, I

(01:41):
wish i'd actually thought more about this. So it's a
big hand tool to drill holes in stumps. Now, every
time I start with something as vague as the answers
I get are a million miles from what the answer

(02:02):
should be. But anyway, I'm fixated about that all day today,
and I thought, what's it called. It's like an auger.
Maybe that's the answer. Anyway, that's just the start for me.
I'm going to talk about weddings and taxis tonight, but

(02:23):
I did want to know about that. Yeah, I want
a big, tall, long hand operated drill that you can
drill holes and stumps, and one that you can actually
it's got to goes up straight, then's got a big bend,
and that you can spin it round and round and
round to do that. Drilling. Anyway, I think probably I'm

(02:47):
not going to get down to straightaway because I'll explained
it so damn badly. I will re explain this later
on the show. Maybe I dreamed it. I'm sure I've
seen in one of those forestry type shows. Anyway, one
knows what those drills is called. I'll be happy to
hear from you. But then again, you might have the

(03:07):
right answer. I might think that's the right answer because
I might know much about it myself. Bad start taxis
and weddings. So there's two things I want to talk
about now. One of the things I was thinking about today.
Two topic Alert. By the way, Remember, oh gosh, I
was doing talk back in the days. It might have

(03:28):
been in the nineties. Do you remember when texis yet
to pay a fortune to get a license. Remember that
in an Aucland, where I was living at the time,
there are two taxi companies, co Op and Alert, and
people spend a fortune on their taxi licenses. And then

(03:55):
suddenly the whole industry got regulated in the companies like
kiper cabs and everything, and everyone was up at arms
because their whole livelihood had gone. Remember that. We want
to talk about those days the taxi wars the nineties.
We'll get onto that. In the meantime, I've got some
quick suggestions of the tool. People have come through better
than I thought actually with this one, Alan Marcus, thanks
for calling. I do appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
That do right.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
What do you want as an extended shaft speedboarit.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Extended shaft speedball.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, got a long shaft on it. You gotta have
your drill to drive it, and then get the speed
up a hat as you can and quietly feed it in.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Is there a version of that without the drill on
the end. That's a hand operated one.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Now the drill to separate device altogether. Drills driving for
you and the speedboard boards the whole for you.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Okay, I thought there might be a hand operated one.
But thank you Allan Murray Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Oh yeah, him, Marcus, I was what are you wanting
to put the whole in the stump for?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
What did you go to a t I'm trying to
rot some stumps, all right.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
So I was going to seduce the same thing. Just
get a wooden, a bit for wood, and an extinctionion
sharp might have ten twenty dirty backs.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, I couldn't What I found is that my power
drill was not powerful enough to drill into the gorse stumps.
They were too the wood just seemed too solid.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
You gotta well, you've got to get a decent.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Bit especially okay, well, yeah, you get and you.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Just take it quietly and just work your way through
because it'll clear it out even if it's as hard
as the hogs off the hell is just working it quietly.
But getting enough depth is the problem.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I'm happy with the depth, happy with that. I found
some long drill but they wouldn't do it though, But
wouldn't you wouldn't if you had a hand powered one
with a big, a big arc of power. Wouldn't that
be more satisfying? And you could do that easier if
it was one to one.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
If you want to have him like at the end
of it, what would that?

Speaker 6 (06:28):
But what what would what?

Speaker 7 (06:29):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Would that be called? Murray?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Would be called going to the gym the hard way?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's a full dear, And do you ask a stupid question?
I'm going to give too much of a life away
about this, yeh, Pete, Marcus, good.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
Evening you Marcus, there you go, and I know what
you're trying to do. You try to kill, you try
to kill the stump from killing the stump. Just I
think you've got the right tool. You can get them
in various links, just the old one. I know those
ones you call them though, the old hand ones dead
at them on the farm, them around there.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't want to but I want a more simpler,
straight forward version which has just got the kink and
you just grind it round and around, and the long
drill but goes in.

Speaker 8 (07:15):
You can't get this a normal drill, but it's just
like normal foots inside your drill. Chuck you got for.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I don't want to drill check. I just want a standard.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
Oh yeah, you just get a standard.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
If you can get someone who's got a standard callers
foot's all you need and the chuck, and that's all
you need to be a lot faster than a gentleman
seating bose old bracelet of the hard going. I said,
you know, the best thing that killstans of the best
thing is waste all and after the diesel.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, oh yeah, I've got some ideas for that piece.
But yet it's not quite what I had in mind.
It's a hand tool. I want, not a not a
but I will find it's not like a bracing bit,
but it's longer than that anyway to get into the

(08:11):
old tool people Duncan, Duncan mac is yeah, Hi, Duncan.

Speaker 9 (08:21):
He's probably much stole my thunder. I was going to
say the brasen bit, and then you can get the
power drill, which takes the long sort of Auger bit
where you can want five eights size. But if you're
trying to kill a stump, everyone thinks so you draw
a hole in the middle, but delivering Cammeian around the

(08:42):
stumpers right on the outside.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
If you know that, yeah, yeah, I've got I've got
some I've got some plans around that side of thing.
I just I just like I've just visualized one. That's
an't that that's I might put a drawing and I
might put that on the Facebook page. That might be
easier if people can look at that. Let me put
a drawing of that on the Facebook page. I can
find it it of paper, and that might be better.

(09:08):
It's not a bracin bit, but it's like an old
version of that. But I'll draw a picture of it.
And as I say, I might have dreamt this, I
might have imationed it. It might even be a real thing,
which would be a shame, but I believe it probably
is a thing. It's kind of hard for your prescriptive

(09:29):
powers to describe something that you've actually seen and trying
to describe it on radio. It's also a bit of
a challenge for your drawing. Anyway, I spaning that for Dan.
Dan can put that on the Facebook page so we
can then have a look at that if you're going
to get the idea of it. But it's simpler than

(09:52):
a Brasen bit. And that's gone up to Dan now,
so he can tell me and put that on Facebook,
gave a look at tell me what it's called. Just
don't just say what's this called?

Speaker 10 (10:02):
For?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Drilling holes and repoor drawer ring Dave Dave Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (10:11):
Yeah, it's the first thing you described is like a
very vividly and it's like got a hole in the top,
then insert a a pole that you twist on.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
But I'm going to think yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes yes, like a post like a post hole borer.

Speaker 11 (10:31):
Now I'm going to think outside the box for you
being a friendly shot fire or explosives man, and that
is big holes in around the root system or and
tip a couple of bags of n SO and pop
your pop your tree stumps with close, pop them out,

(10:51):
not launch them.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Would I need to get an explosives license.

Speaker 11 (10:57):
Well, or someone who knows what they're doing and won't
launch these into Knixt County. But you just want to
pop them and you can them take them out like
a tooth, you know, and just pop them out like kevity.
And that doesn't take much a little bit of amonium
light trade and fuel oil six percent.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And this is like the guy that brought down the
building in Oklahoma, isn't it?

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
It is.

Speaker 11 (11:23):
Yeah, But I'm not going to bring them any any
I'm going to I'm going to publish in Stumps and
it would do the most effectively.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's the McVeigh way falls here and I think Ron Dan,
it's Marcus. Good evening, ye, yeah, yeah, it's Marcus. Welcome, Yeah, yeah, Dan,
God Dan greetings.

Speaker 12 (11:45):
Yeah, Marca.

Speaker 13 (11:47):
Moment at the Roway down. We need once but anyway,
we had a big racing but that used to do
hold and sleep it do you stand up and just
where you are you kill them in no time. If
if you're get any old mates, and the railway have
flicked stuff.

Speaker 12 (12:05):
They will.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
What was it called?

Speaker 13 (12:10):
They're just like a big orger.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, okay, so what'd you call it? A big hand orgo?
Is that the word is auga?

Speaker 14 (12:17):
Right?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (12:18):
They've got an obling long handle, long sharp and you
just both and one on the top and one in
the middle and where you go.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, okay, that's exactly what I need there.

Speaker 15 (12:29):
You can drill. You can drill a whole.

Speaker 13 (12:31):
They had four different four different sized bits and you
could drill hardwood sleevers in no time.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
And is it is the top like a t or
is it more like a brasen bit with a bit
that you can push down and you can twist it round.

Speaker 13 (12:47):
You had a swivel handle on a top standing straight up,
and thendlong out and you have another hand in the
middle also with a swrivel on it with a pipe
on it so it can so you can just turn
it and you just with both hands, one on the top,
one in the middle, and where you go.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
And that's how they did. That's how they did the
holes in the sleepers yep.

Speaker 13 (13:10):
Yep, yep, and the bridge beams and they had big,
big ones for drilling holes in bridge beams.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Are you X Railways? Yeah, thank you for your service.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
Dan.

Speaker 13 (13:23):
Yeah, No, I was on the machine group for the railway.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Did I meet you at the railway at the tunnel
hotel at Port Charmers, No, I.

Speaker 13 (13:33):
Met you in the raw yard in dun Eden. Okay,
you were touring, you were doing filming, yeah, doing something
about rail Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
And then I went out. We did a I think
it might be called an Eskimo hand auger.

Speaker 13 (13:47):
Yep, will that be right?

Speaker 10 (13:50):
Yeah, that's enim.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay, you're a good man.

Speaker 12 (13:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's probably for drilling holes in the ice. I would
think at least we've worked out the whole right express
with a hand auger. You know what someone's going to
mention soon, Actually we need the clacks and for that,
don't we, Dan, You know what I'm.

Speaker 10 (14:09):
The t word?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yep, words, I was going to say, you get on, Tim.
I'm enjoying looking at these hand augers. They got to
work out wa to buy one. John AT's Marcus, good evening, welcome, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 14 (14:28):
I think what you're looking for. I think you want
to hold probably about an inch, don't which is about
two centimeters? Is that what you want?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, that's been that'd be right, yep.

Speaker 14 (14:37):
Well the thenner's got the long shaft on it, and
it's exactly the same principle. You want a manual, a
manual auger, and you want it probably I don't know.
They're probably three feet long or because you don't want
to be down place on it.

Speaker 11 (14:51):
That's right.

Speaker 14 (14:52):
It has a wooden hand. But we're exactly the same
as a postal or I'll tell you what i'd do
if I was you, I'd go on Google and Google
wanted to buy hand hand orger with a wooden handle,
and telling me what about a two centimeter that'd be
big enough for you?

Speaker 16 (15:12):
Wouldn't I could?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
You're you're up with the technology, Well I am, and
I'll tell you.

Speaker 14 (15:17):
I'll just tell you a thing about it. See so
you know, you know, you know how they used to
hang the old wooden gates because they might use compete
ones now, but they had those augers for those to
put those things like the gudget things in there, like
oh yeah, you know, so they are about But I'd
put in wanted to buy hand orger two centimeter with

(15:41):
a wooden handle. And you know, if you can get
out of some farmers because they probably don't. They probably
got good, big powerful mettery duels now. But I know
exactly what you need. But that's what I do. I'd
google and they wanted to buy, and or if you
know any farmers around, yeah, I've got neighbors.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Okay, John, I appreciate that, Thank you. And I guess
you'd only that much downward pressure because I guess once
that starts grabbing into the water just kind of drives
itself down. That's what I'm hoping.

Speaker 10 (16:11):
Auga.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay. Oh, She's an exciting world. Keep in touch if
you want to be in touch. Eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty ninety nine to the text. It'd be another
day for me around the old agricultural stores. It's always
a bit testing in it. And what exactly is it
you want anyway? Oh, Brent Marcus, welcome, Hi Brent.

Speaker 17 (16:34):
Hey Marcus.

Speaker 18 (16:35):
You said your drill wasn't powers for nothing? Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, it's quite a good drill. But I think I
might have I think I would have. I might think
I would have saw the gorse off and left it.
It get gorsewood gets very very hard, very quickly once
it's been sworn. So maybe if it was wet. It
would have actually, but it was.

Speaker 12 (16:54):
It was.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
It didn't seem to it made very little headway at all.

Speaker 18 (17:01):
Okay, well, probably what happened. Probably what you need is
probably find that your auger the diameter was too big
for your particular drill. You might find it your drill
is not the very powerful maybe, So what I think
you need to do is get an auger that's maybe
eight mil in diameter and about thirty centimeters in long

(17:22):
in length, and you get those therefrom bunnings for about
thirty dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I'm pretty sure that's what I had. It was probably
eight mil.

Speaker 16 (17:28):
Here.

Speaker 18 (17:29):
Oh that's interesting, then.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well i'll reperseverem Yeah, I appreciate that, Brent, thank you,
Robert Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 18 (17:43):
But only Marcus.

Speaker 19 (17:45):
You definitely got the right tool there, and you haven't
drink it up. Farmers use them all the time from
hanging their gates up. They call a gudgeon auger, and
it's about twenty mills in diameter and about four hundred
fifty millimeters long, and it comes up and it does

(18:07):
a dog leg with a big wouldn't handle well a
wooden round nor at the end, which swirls around and
then you come down and you you hold on to
a middle roltary thing and you you're pushed down on it. Yeah,
and it's the farmers have used them from the sixties
the seventies and putting that and they call it the

(18:28):
gudgeon auger. And at the very end as a startup
is that they started with a little screw at the
end to start your you know, you know where you
want to put your whole.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yes, yeah, So.

Speaker 19 (18:43):
Farmers use them all the time and back in the
sixties seventies to hang their gate. They call them gudgeon, gudgeon,
numb august.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And it's just to make that hole.

Speaker 19 (18:51):
In the yep through through the post, the big the
big post to hang to hang their gate on.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
And what's the what's that the is, say a dog leg,
but it's what's at the other end of it.

Speaker 19 (19:01):
It's a Yeah, it comes up and it goes you
call it a doge, goes goes at purpendiclar and then
goes up straight up.

Speaker 18 (19:11):
Yeah. Yeah, the uga.

Speaker 19 (19:13):
And there's a handle that comes up. It's got a big,
big wooden handle, not a wooden house, well, wooden knight
that swivels so you hang on to that and you've
got a medal. But just just where it comes down
to the orga, you hang on to that and you
push it down onto it. And at the end of
the UGA there's a little screw about fifteen mills or something,

(19:35):
just to get you started. And then the UGA goes there.
And when when you rind up and it actually pushes,
it pulls out the actual chip as as you orber
it down, it throws out the chip the other way.
It's well designed and so no, you haven't dreamed it up.
There is a called it a dudgeon uger, and the

(19:55):
best braker you can find that, now, Marcus, is that
go to one of the ot shops or antique shop.
You'll find them all there. They'll be there.

Speaker 7 (20:04):
Got it again?

Speaker 19 (20:05):
Not an antique shop or and you know, I know,
Saint John's op shops or hospice op shops. You're finding
in there people throwing that pretty old. I think it's
real handy.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Appreciate that, Robert, thank you for every much. Twenty seven
away from now. My name is Marcus. Welcome head on Midnight.
I don't know, I think we gudgeon one of those.
We dont really know what it is that gudgeon is.
It's not one of those ones you kind of come
across in everyday parlance. I still wuldn't even know what
it means gudgeon a small fish, a small freshwater fish,

(20:42):
or an easy fulled person. Maybe I've spelt it wrong.
I hope it's good for you. Are people? Short week?
Next week?

Speaker 10 (20:54):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Short week?

Speaker 20 (20:56):
Next week?

Speaker 11 (20:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Wa eight one hundred and eighty daddy? And I still
can't find an image of what he's talking for. Someone's
got an image of one. Send it to me. The
old old tool for the hangars on the fences. Ah, Marcus.
I found this product of the warehouse and thought you

(21:19):
might be interested. Manual gardening steel earth Auga. Bit. I
might have been misspelling Auga every time I think of Aga.
I think that guy that used to do the weather,
remember him, Augie Hour. It's not quite the same as it.
My name is Marcus. Hehadle twelve. Keep your calls coming through. Oh,

(21:41):
by the way, I want to actually also talk tonight
in a complete pivot of topics. I don't know how
it's going to go as a top, well, I don't
know how any top it's going to go as a topic. Oh,
that's good detachable bit. I think that's for Earth. Manual
guard and that's for Earth. I think that's for for
I want something like that, but for holds and what

(22:03):
not for the Earth. Marcus, we've had either we've heard
enough of August. Either change the topical or go elsewhere,
or you do what you want. Feel free to do
what you want. Please dump John. This is terrible radio.

(22:27):
This time in the morning hears killing your listeners. I
like people that feel that they can actually get out
there and actually likely the program director. I'm inclined ow
to go on and on about August more anyway, Marcus

(22:48):
quirky fact about Tim McVeigh had a strong, if not
confirmed case for a commuter death's sentence to a life sentence,
no parole, and he went and reduced to me, choose
the needle, not when you get the choice, and that
was his commitment a murdering that job. He's a guy
that drove all the fertilizer works and stuff under the

(23:08):
building an Oklahoma. Not entirely sure where his politics were.
I think probably he predated a lot of those people
that sort of are opposed to the perception of big
government to McVeigh. Anyway, get in touch. Someone's told me

(23:36):
about trade me love trade me. Funny the things you
been on a trade me. I won't say what I'm
just about, but on last night actually your leroy Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (23:52):
Hey, what are you?

Speaker 21 (23:54):
What he's trying to do is do you want to
hang some.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
No, I want to drill some holes and some stumps
to rot them out with either salt or magnesium sulfate
or something like that.

Speaker 21 (24:06):
Okay, if if, if you want to get if you've
got a higher center, because you can get to a
in and get a bracing.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
But yeah, I just kind of thought, I think probably
something simple with a brace, but that would take a
long and your yeah, there's a lot of brasing, but
you can hand shops say.

Speaker 21 (24:24):
Yeah, you know, you can just get a bit and
then you can just put them to a drill. Yeah,
that's what That's what I used to do.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
You're probably right, I'll probably just get a I probably
I probably thought there'd be something sort of more hardcore
looking than a brasen bit. But you're probably right the bracelet,
but it'll do it.

Speaker 21 (24:40):
A yeah, well there, but that's what we used to
useful fencing to hang dogs.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Okay, okay, okay, Well you will know if you've done that.

Speaker 21 (24:50):
Yeah, well that's what it's called a bracing.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
But yeah, it's part of the fence's kid, isn't it.

Speaker 21 (24:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Give you a quick fellow.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Are you still fencing?

Speaker 10 (24:59):
Leroy?

Speaker 21 (25:01):
No, I've finished for years again now.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, don't forget, don't forget.

Speaker 21 (25:06):
No, okay, no, just yeah, I lost my vision. But
I help other final, you know, to give the good ideas.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
What okay, nice to hear from you, Leroy. Thank you
twenty from nine Marcus till twelve oh eight, one hundred
and eighty today. So the other big thing, here's your question,
and I want and look, we've never talked for ages
and this is a big segue from Augers and we'll
probably get a topic, but a topic creep. And I'm

(25:36):
not about to get married. Just so this is not
me saying this is right in my bread box. But
I was reading an article about the vexed problem of
wedding invites and whether you ask plus ones to weddings

(26:07):
and what's been your experience of that, Because weddings are
out of hand and there's a cost of living crisis,
and the new thing seems to be that all sorts
of people who are etiquet experts are saying the whole
plus one thing's got to go. And what they're saying

(26:27):
you're supposed to do now is just invite all individuals
to the wedding. So if you know Shona and she's
your best mate, but you're also quite like Gavin, her partner,
you invite them both. But if you're inviting what's someone's
name that would be in their thirties. If you're inviting

(26:49):
Jason and Jason's just stepping out with someone who's just
been on Twitter, on Tinder and it's quite new, you
just ask Jason. You don't ask Marigold. So that's the
whole thing. I'm trying to get at. What happened with
your wedding? Who did you invite? Because I don't think

(27:12):
it's a problem actually asking you plus once. I've been
god of weddings forever and loved it, and I think
it's probably better to go as a couple. But yeah,
I'll be curious to know how your wedding list thing went,
what happened with you and were any disasters. It's quite
expensive to run a wedding now, and you're asking someone

(27:34):
that you don't really know, and you're probably actually taking
people off the list that you do know to make
way for someone's partner. So I'll be embracing your comments
on this also. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
two nine two to text, Yeah, be good to hear
from you want to talk about that. Oh eight hundred

(27:55):
eighty ten eighty nine two nine two to text Marcus,
I agree with the last caller. Are a few problems
that can't be solved with info. Someone says it's called
a T bar a love effect. It's called a t
bar Wow, love of us? They just blow it up

(28:19):
or sit light to it. Helen.

Speaker 16 (28:23):
Yeah, Hi, I'm just a couple of ideas that you
might find what you're looking for farm.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Clearing sales just for winning. Oh we're not. This is
back on the tool.

Speaker 16 (28:34):
Yeah, that's right. You might be able to pick up
something at a farm clearing sale. And it also there's
just for example, there's a place in front of a
called Downtown Tool and that just has just about everything,
you know, second hand stuff. So yeah, there might be
something local Indicago.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
Or something like that.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
What a great name that is for a company downtown
tooll Yeah, yeah, Astula Clark. Forget all you're worries for you.
The trouble's going to downtown tools.

Speaker 16 (29:06):
Yeah, that's just that's one place in fun Raid.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
There's another place.

Speaker 16 (29:10):
I can't remember what school, but you know you can
find the most obscure things that you're looking for in
places like that.

Speaker 14 (29:17):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I'm not shy of the farm disposal sale hell, and
I'm at those quite often. Yeah, but you know it's
time and place. I'm just focused on this now, so
I will need to get that. Although someone's send me
a picture of pretty much perfectly what I'm looking for,
a guy called Steve ra Farmo. I've emailed him back.

(29:45):
I'll send this through to Dan. Dan check that middle
one up and say, that's the beast. What's that called? Okay,
there's three photos coming your way. Auga now fourteen to nine.
We got any other interesting tales from the didn't watch
any sport today. I didn't watch the final of the basketball,

(30:09):
which was a shame. Spent the day with my battery
operated chainsaw, which was quite successful. I was slightly concerned
from a safety point of view, but it's better than
using a handsaw. I'll tell you that for nothing. I've

(30:31):
got two batteries, so you get about two hours juice
out of them. This is the still quite good. I
think it's probably ten times faster than using a hand saw.
Wore the pants that if you cut your leg, it
just kind of slows it down in the air muffs. Yeah, gosh,

(30:54):
I tell you what, when you play with you, when
you're offerating with a chainsaw, you certainly become very quickly
aware of things that can go wrong, don't you. Anyway,
small steps you would want to be doing it in
tox cadd would you? Goodness, you wonder what it was
like when the first chainsaw was invented. You'd be a
brave person to operate them. Anyway, Here til Midnight, Monamer's Marcus.

(31:21):
We're talking about weddings, and it's a difficult segue. Well,
it's achievable. Everything's achievable in the land of the living.
But weddings and partners. I reckon organize a wedding and
just about destroy the wedding, just about destroy the marriage
with the battles you'd have, and that's probably the whole

(31:43):
point of it. We'll tell you what partners what do
you do about that? Anyway, That's what we are talking
about tonight, because I reckon the thing of the past,
the plus one you just ask you you want to
ask to your wedding. Now, I'll tell you what's something
about Facebook? When you spend a bit of time on
Facebook like I do, because I'm always looking for topics.

(32:05):
But you'd be pleased to know there's a woman who
has been missing and she's been found, and that's good news.
And I think she was the one that was There
was photos of her fruit picking and I thought, what
a lovely photo. So that's good news that she's been found.

(32:26):
I hope that's the right person because I know that
quite but what happens, they seem to get shared quite quickly.
Now let me just check through that. Yes, that's her.
She's the one in the picking strawberries. I thought, what
a lovely photo of her being Oh it's just heartbreaking. Family,
they're picking strawberries and now she's missing. But the Herald's reporting, yeah,
she's the one in the field of strawberries. That she

(32:48):
has been found. Sonny, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.
They ain't good, Sonny, How are you going all right.

Speaker 7 (33:01):
No, I'm just gonna say good luck with the Indian wedding.

Speaker 13 (33:05):
Trying to line one.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
I'm inviting plus ten people from one family.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
Good luck?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, well I don't I don't tend to hear. I mean,
not that it's about me and I don't know. Well, yeah,
who do you invite everyone?

Speaker 14 (33:22):
Right?

Speaker 17 (33:24):
Everyone?

Speaker 7 (33:24):
Every time they can harry. You know, even if you've
met them a couple of times, you're probably still going
to invite them.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
So is it just is it just family?

Speaker 7 (33:35):
No, it's to be said. The weddings they've been too.
I'm not married myself, but I've planned a couple of
Indian weddings and you're us looking at between eight hundred
two thousand people. It's just anyone, and your parents are
well knowne and you're obviously inviting every community as well.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
It makes the other plus one sound a bit mean spirited,
now does it when you put it like that, when
you put it out to eight hundred to one thousand.

Speaker 7 (34:01):
Yeah, definitely, definitely. I mean, and if you don't invite
one person, then they're gonna be very happy and spread
spread some rumors about you and probably cause some drama.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
So the reason you're invited them, not because you like them,
but because so they don't actually bear mouth around town, right.

Speaker 7 (34:19):
Yeah, pretty much, that's half reason. But it's all right,
because we have a wedding. Usually most if it's a
Hindu wedding, you have a wedding a day, and then
the receptions usually the next day, and the receptions cut down,
but even lost receptions, I've been to it still about
five hundred people, which is more than the average weight wedding,
I think.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, absolutely, And do they drink? I mean, I don't
don't know, would because I know that the person.

Speaker 7 (34:45):
Yeah, not usually at the wedding day. The wedding day
it gets a Hindu wedding, then it's probably just here
in now or But the receptions are big, big diss
up usually, so.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
You'd be in for you'd been for teens of thousands
of dollars, almost.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
Media one hundred thousand, depending on how what you go
for exactly, and it's it's a usually it's over, you know,
three to five days, depending on what you do for
nearly one hundred thousand dollars for most weddings iversen Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
And the bride's family pay for it.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
Yeah, I don't know, that usually usually the bride family
face for the wedding day.

Speaker 10 (35:23):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yeah, So the reception is usually fooded by the groom's side,
but nowadays most couples go fifty to fifty but super
traditional parents would usually the brides fans will not allow
the groom so much to pay for the wedding at all.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
And that would still happen. That would be the same
thing it would happen in New Zealand, Sonny.

Speaker 7 (35:43):
Yeah, what happens quite common yere. Yeah, the right side
space for the wedding, the voice side space for the reception.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, and there'd be that big because I kind of
imagine you'd be hard pressed to you know, you'd be
hard pressed to find venues quite often for that many people.

Speaker 20 (35:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (35:59):
I mean, because there's a couple of big farm and
and Tongyan churches in Auckland. You set that many people. Yeah,
And I mean a couple of weddings I've been to
have been large stadiums as well. Yeah, and the Trust
the Trust Stadium actually, yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I've been to. I've been to I've been to an
Indian engagement and that was fairly full on, but didn't
get to go to the weddings. So yeah, that was
that was really full on. Actually that's going back a
few years, but you remind me of that sunny look.
Nice to talk.

Speaker 12 (36:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (36:31):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're talking weddings and asking plus ones or invite lists
to weddings. I must be terrifying because what you're imagine doing.
He's trying to crystallize, Chris. You're trying to break your
life down to who you know and who's important to you,
and then you want to work out who's Actually it's
also important that you do ask so they don't get

(36:53):
the cold shoulder. Yeah, pretty daunting, Marcus. Why are so
many people going missing? Heartbreaking over the Marakopa issue? These
poor people intimately involved drama in their lives, these child
to the rest of their lives. So very sad. Die, Yeah, unbelievable.

(37:15):
I mean that sounds like trauma.

Speaker 9 (37:16):
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Even if they are being well looked after, and I
have no commonal judgment on that, although I think probably
I think there was custod custod custody issues there. But
even if they are the fact that they're hiding from
people at that young age must have huge psychological detrimental
effects on kids. But yeah, Marcus, we're in a taxi

(37:53):
in London. The driver invited us to its wedding in India.
We didn't end up going, Marcus. If you wanted to
get rid of a tree stump, why not just rend
a stunt grind a machine cheese. John, Oh, it's quite
It's like an inaccessible part of the property. It's quite
a hype to get to, particularly in the winter when
the grounds are quite weird. It'd be like a It's

(38:14):
like a kilometer away. You couldn't get a stump grinder
in there. Marcus, your thoughts which you just voiced are correct.
That is exactly how wedding couples should approach the list.
But these times that is how it is. Plus, if
you're wanting a couple to meet, then what better way

(38:35):
to get people to meet. A wedding is perfect. Reminds
me of notting Hill spelled with a K, which is interesting.
Dan c six thieves called drummer. Let him play. Let's
hear him play down on the farm. Do they're texting?
Is that you Dan? You're doing a rock show. You're
doing a rock with textit to Dan. Oh, welcome, good evening.

(38:59):
I'm just reading about Sarah McCallen fell off the stage.
Saram McKellen eighty five lost his balance and head first
into West End audience before letting out a blood curdling scream.
Today's performance is canceled while he's treated in hospital. I
can't quite see what the play was, but there we go.

(39:19):
We're talking about weddings and plus ones and the drama
you had your with your wedding list, they say the
edict expect to say, now you're better off just not
bothering with plus one. You just ask who you want,
which wouldn't be fine in an Indian wedding because I
think that's like up to one thousand people. But goodness,

(39:41):
that's what we are talking about. To other number is
eight hundred and eighty eight, ten eighty nine nine to
de text. But how many guests do you ask? What
is the number? When you go fifty, then you may
as well go to one hundred. Eh, but even one
hundred once you eliminate relatives and stuff like that. She's
steady going, isn't it. And what about weddings you go

(40:04):
to when you can't eat? There's just some people go
off for the meal, that's weird a you're into one
of those get in touch by name's Marcus Hittle twelve,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. The other thing I
mentioned was the tax season the nineties and deregulation. Remember
that when there was two taxi companies and suddenly there's

(40:26):
all these other ones that got deregulated, and it was
like the beginning of the end, and people paid a
fortune for licenses. And as I look back on that,
I think, well, actually it was only just the beginning,
because then, in fact what happened was you had deregulation,

(40:47):
then you had a technological deregulation as well. When you've
got it now that that almost anyone can set themselves
up as a taxi driver because you can just actually
use the phone to connect with people, which has got
to be a good thing, hasn't it That the process
has become a lot simpler. You good evening, Tom, Marcus.

Speaker 15 (41:09):
Welcome a good evening, Marcus. I've heard off and on
quite a lot, but I've never heard anyone tell you
that the problem you're going to have boring into ingrind
of course, but tell me, please, what is the what
is the timber you're born into what tree?

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Was it gorse?

Speaker 15 (41:31):
But gorse a ghost bush? Get her pick and leave
it out. Uh, you're trying to bore into that. Goodness me, Marcus.
The auger is the old term for a bit nowadays,
or a drill, which is more common for engineering or carpentry.

(41:52):
Now you need an ingrain bit or a shell bit.
The threaded ones like everyone else is talking about, is
for cross grain and it will pull us in. But
the brace of any night, including the engineers, have one
for their sockets. That's for turning the drill. You need

(42:14):
to force it in an ingrain bit, but it's a
sharpening of it that does the cutting and out. If
anyone knew anything about that tonight.

Speaker 20 (42:24):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Are you weeks?

Speaker 11 (42:26):
Are you a.

Speaker 17 (42:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
You said, let you know what you're talking about.

Speaker 15 (42:31):
I'm a carpenter to start with, from seven tech nineteen fifties.
But I've seen this boring trick done by my father.
I think he forced me to do it for long
and Puri was the hardest. But that was cross going
two and then.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Course till my father winter seed and Tick did it. Yeah,
but before you would have been it would have been
he goes through unions from time to time. I think
he would have been there in nineteen forty.

Speaker 15 (43:03):
It was a bit before me. Then I'm maybe five.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Okay, he's ninety five, ten years a hidiot.

Speaker 15 (43:08):
Well it's still going strong. Good, Yeah, isn't your engineering
or woodwork?

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Well he ended up doing printing, I think, but I
don't quite know.

Speaker 15 (43:18):
That's yeah, that typo. That's the third one here. Yeah, right, okay,
but I I didn't say all my life, but not
for the last ten years or so. Look, a shell
bit doesn't have a thread on it. It will just
go where you push it. But it's the sharpening the angle.

(43:40):
You've got to have a lead in. Could you figure
out what I'm talking about there? Yeah, I have a
cut leading in and everybody sharpens the bottom the drong
goes and that makes it worse.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I can see what I can see what they're like.
They're almost like a scoop or something, a long needle
with a scoop. But yeah, I can see what the
shell but looks like.

Speaker 21 (44:00):
You sharpen on the top of your cutting edge to
put a lead in. But I'll say I can't do
the text on the scene.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Now, that's good.

Speaker 17 (44:11):
You were drawing.

Speaker 21 (44:11):
You need to know about the sharpening. By the way
they're all here, doesn't of them? But you're too far away.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, Tom, are you still in Auckland?

Speaker 15 (44:20):
Yes, whereabouts I've been. I mean I'm in Panama Road
where I built my house sixty two years ago.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Scheepers, you still got a quarter acre.

Speaker 15 (44:31):
Never had quarter acres, and neither did most other people
there were an h but the ones when I started
here were twenty six purches. That's quarter of an acre almost,
isn't it. But I've got points three or three of
an acre here, which fascinated me as a super when
I came.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I was just walking around there in the weekend.

Speaker 15 (44:51):
Oh well, and you're going back, have you?

Speaker 14 (44:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Exactly. Oh well, nice to hear from you, Tom, lovely
to hear from you.

Speaker 9 (45:00):
Peter.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Hello Marcus two from Peru, Norfolkland here on our license
fire but our original property in Peru when we had
tree stumps like you're talking about. Because of my business,
we had several drill bits that we used to put
in electric power. Drills'd be well four or five six

(45:27):
hundred millimeters long. I would suggest that you get a
generator take it up the hill to what did you say?
A kilometer up the whole Draw them into the base
of that stump, and you'd have to be careful that
I don't bind up, show them out, clear them frequently,

(45:48):
fill them full of diesel, let them soak ree fulham
full of diesel, and set it on fire. It will
burn out internally.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
You do that, I think you do that in winter,
wouldn't you, Peter, Yes.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
Exactly, Well, make sure the area around it is wet,
because the underground roots will be full of sap, and
that that fire could probably spread.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
How's pooh hooy? These days all right?

Speaker 6 (46:17):
A wonderful to be honest, I'm no longer there. We've
had a lot of people coming from Lookland and it's
changed the whole area of what Pool used to be.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I could imagine that I've gone further north and now
to longer are Oh, well, good on you.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
Because where I'm basically retired. I brought my two sons
up in a roofing industry and we do a lot
of game fishing out of there, and we have a
lot of work up here, obviously not earning as much money,
but we have a nice understanding.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Lifestyle what's your what's your trade?

Speaker 6 (46:56):
Combing and roofing.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, she was a nice place, but I would have
mentioned the motorway goes but then poo because of course
the Orcans are going to go there because they could
actually get to town forty five minutes. Now, count though,
I'm going to think that now that the river's but
the roads by pass you know that now it's yeah,
I'm hearing you.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
Well, we have an off ramp and an on ramp
at Pooh and that's all cool as the country area.
But the big snarle up now is as you come
down from north into Auckland Way, the Constellation Drive bottleneck
from basically Silver Dour to Odhey Valley Road. In the morning,
it's just an absolute nightmare in the morning. I relocated

(47:42):
to walk us Well quite some years ago, and I
had to live there to help a pummy company out
and Alyslee. I had to leave Walkless to be analyse
by seven o'clock that quarter past four in the morning.
And that's probably ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Okay, I appreciate hearing from me.

Speaker 12 (48:00):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Peter, seventeen past nine. Gonna be hard time to get
off the drill bits. But there was good to Panama Road.
What a great place to be. Oh so the seven
three seven can dump fuel asper the news tonight? Well,
I don't hear the news tonight, can it? A five

(48:26):
hundred couple's attendant in wedding in each s gift's one
gram of gold is his customary, Then the bride and
groom will receive seventy ounces of gold worth sixty thousand dollars.
Sir En McKellen was performing shakespeare titled Players King Hear
with a fourth at the Noel Coward. Thead hopefully recovers quickly.
Ohay one hundred and eighty eight tenty nine two nine

(48:47):
to de text, I want to know your wedding guestless
dramas now they reckon the plus ones, not in the
I don't thing probably even was necessary, mind you. I
wonder how many people have had weddings and through who
they've not invited people's partners. They've actually lost friendships for life,

(49:12):
probably a true thing? Will that be right? Get in
touch Marcus till midnight anything? I just want to mention
tonight I'm in the zone. Who's in the zone? You
in the zone? What even is the zone?

Speaker 11 (49:27):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (49:27):
The for those that don't know I have a I
should say I.

Speaker 9 (49:34):
We are.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Got a property full of gorse which is converting quite
nicely to native bush with some gentle encouragement, because of
course the monika and the karmahen stuff grows through and
dominates the gorse, and the gorse kind of dissipates. However,

(50:02):
the section that goes right up a hill the ocean
view is the ocean and the up about one hundred
meters from sea level to one hundred meters altitude, and
so most of the land has been regenerated into native bush.
There are some sheep on it and some our packers

(50:23):
that we refer to as lamas. But at the top
of it, where I've got a dwelling is that I'm
keen to have that in pasture. So otherwise the view
from the top would be outgrowing by the tree. So
there's probably the top acre. So I'm getting rid of
all the gorse and putting it into pasture, put an

(50:43):
electric fence up there and which will be into a
permanent fence, and putting sheep up there. But yeah, I've
just got to clear and I've done some work on
the gorse, but I'm getting a bit more serious about it,
and I'm just trying different tactics to stop the gorse
growing back. And yeah, it's been quite satisfying. Lot a

(51:03):
tussic up there as well, those giant tussics, those really
big ones. No, it's beautiful spot, but it's not that
accessible in winter. And some of the stumps, some of
the gorse, even though it's only probably ten twelve years old,
it's probably you know, it's some fairly wide bits of

(51:28):
some wide stumps. By the way, it wasn't us that
let the gorse go crazy on it. I think it
was powering. It had the land to run a power
cable through, and they just I don't know why, they
just said it all go on gorse. But I thought, oh,
well we managed to purchase it, but they no longer
want it. With it well, the answer that is to
go into Bosh. So it's been quite a good project.

(51:48):
We've planted a lot of trees in there. They know
how many there would be, but thousands of trees. And
it's deer fenced, and the deer are out, and the
goats are out, and the possums are almost out. His hedgehogs.
I think, yeah, it's's it for three or four years,

(52:11):
and it's kind of growing quite dramatically. The Monica is,
you know, three four meters high now in places in
the Monica with the winds kind of spreading through it.
But a BlackBerry, which I'm slightly concerned about, but I'm
on top of that as well.

Speaker 17 (52:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (52:30):
Oh, and what was it?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
What did you want to say? Owen, welcome Marcus here.

Speaker 17 (52:34):
Yeah, sorry, much better, much.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Better that we're cutting ours. It's a deadline, that's much better.

Speaker 17 (52:39):
Okay.

Speaker 21 (52:40):
Cool.

Speaker 17 (52:40):
I was just wondering. You said you were tackling your
goal site.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
How are you?

Speaker 17 (52:44):
How are you cutting it down? How you keep it
on toping of it?

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Just with a chainsaw?

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (52:51):
Are you?

Speaker 17 (52:55):
Or anything?

Speaker 11 (52:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
And most of the whole property is about rip plant regeneration,
so it's just in some areas. It's just in some
areas that I'm actually chopping the gorse down because at
the top there's a you know, there's accommodation. I want
to keep the view going for it. So I'm not
using because it's a regeneration plant, obviously, I'm not using

(53:17):
the glyphosphate or stuff like that.

Speaker 14 (53:18):
So yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 17 (53:20):
Just yeah, I've been trying to keep on top of
the gorse on my property. And yeah, I've been using
the old cut and paste, and it's quite a tricky
one because some information says you've got to hit the
paste once you cut it within ten seconds or some
say within a minute. And I've been noticing a lot

(53:44):
of gorse on my property has been growing back even
even though I've been pasting it with the glyphoss hl
within ten seconds, you know. And I think what you're
doing is right. Is it's a matter of actually out
growing it instead of trying to kill it.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Oh yeah, you know it's just at the top, the
top padic comfort, whether it be sheep there when sheep
are quite good at clearing it all out to at
least with the sheep, you can actually the grass is
all clear, so you can see where the stumps are.
You can keep them good so you know, and you
can see when the when the regrowth is. It's pretty
easy to take the regrowth, you know, after a while
the stumps will die.

Speaker 17 (54:22):
Yeah, And I find the sheep do actually quite like
to eat the new growth.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Particularly, they'll keep it all down. They do a great
job on it.

Speaker 20 (54:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (54:35):
And just to add on that, yeah, so I did
a bunch of cutting and did the gel and tried
shifting all the all the dead matter that had a
bunch of seeds and flowers in that. And I actually
found from cutting and shifting it, I was spreading seeds
and it was growing even more prolific, you know, from

(54:57):
shifting it and trying to burn it. It's it's a
real bugger a. And I think the best way is
to cut it, leave it and try and outgrow it,
rather than trying to eliminate it. You know.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Actually, in some in some weird psychotic way, I do
find it an enjoyable plant to work with and get
rid of, because none of the branches are too big,
none of it's too heavy. It's all quite manageable, and
you can actually make progress quite quickly. You can care.
You can clear meters and meters in a couple of ours.

Speaker 14 (55:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
It's you can look back and think, jepis creepers. That's
a that's a good bit of effort.

Speaker 17 (55:37):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, if you've got a good
tongues and tip blade on your scrub bar, yeah, it's
pretty enjoyable. It's casata, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I'd like to meet the person that brought gorse into
the country, because that was a particularly stupid thing to do.

Speaker 17 (55:51):
On it was it wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Hey?

Speaker 17 (55:54):
And I also wanted to add to your conversation, not
so much on getting lists, but maybe we could add
interesting things that happened at weddings. I actually was at
my sister's wedding and witnessed an older gentleman, he might
have been in his seventies, and he just went pale.

(56:14):
Wife and I saw him change, and I thought, Okay,
this guy's having a heart attack. And I was about
to do something. I was about to help him.

Speaker 10 (56:25):
I thought, I don't want to.

Speaker 17 (56:26):
He's maybe just got some trap wind or I don't
know what was going on. And then my sister, who
was in the army, jumped in, put him in a
recovery position and put the ambulance. And here this guy
was having a heart attack at a bloody wedding, you know. So, yeah,
I just thought that was that was?

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Did it ruin?

Speaker 12 (56:47):
It?

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Did the guy?

Speaker 12 (56:49):
Did?

Speaker 9 (56:49):
The guy?

Speaker 17 (56:51):
He did? He came right, and he had to go
to the hospital, but he didn't pass. Yeah, he came right,
and as far as I know, he still life.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Yeah, didn't he didn't come back to the wedding. No,
he didn't know, and it would have ruined it, wouldn't
it because he was household. Oh yeah, the whole the
whole mood would have changed day.

Speaker 17 (57:13):
Well, that's why I didn't jump at the opportunity to help. No,
I don't want to embarrass him. I don't want to
make a scene. And yeah, it was just yeah, never
never had that happen at a wedding before.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
So, yeah, where's your property?

Speaker 17 (57:30):
Owen horror kie Wee and Wellington?

Speaker 2 (57:35):
Oh yeah, Wellington, Wellington's gorsey in it.

Speaker 17 (57:40):
Yeah, it's real bad and like like yourself if you've
got a bit of land. It's actually you know, you
take on a responsibility when you have a bit of land.
You actually need to try and tackle it somewhat. You know.
You can't just have a bit of land and sit
back and just oh, well he's gorse. You know, you
gotta you go to try and do something with the

(58:02):
gorse and BlackBerry, you know, even though it does seem
like a a pointless effort, you know.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Oh, no, I find the whole thing. No, I mean
I knew what I was getting into. I knew it
was gorsed. I knew that you'd be crazy going back
to pasture. I certainly knew that I had to clear
the fences, get the fences put. I had to get
it secure from deer, get the predators out of it.
Plant trees that would attract birds, so they'd bring the

(58:30):
seeds and they'd be you know, your cabbage trees and
your flax and things like that. So you know, the
plan's gone well, and some things go quicker, and I
thought some things go slower. But it's there has been
a good it's been a it's been a fantastic process.

Speaker 20 (58:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Cool. Plenty of firewood too, because we've got fires. So
you get a lot of firewood out of gorse too.
I mean you've got to you know, it's it's a
good burner.

Speaker 14 (58:54):
No, it's great.

Speaker 17 (58:55):
Yeah, last long time. It's been really hot, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Yep, that's the answer. Off to try and the pizza oven.
Not that we've got a pizza oven. Chris. It's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (59:08):
How are you today?

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Good?

Speaker 22 (59:10):
Thanks Chris, excellent, just on your coursing. How are you
finding the chainsaw? Make it's a it's a it's something
that I've actually dipped ditched for a reciprocating saw, and
I find it good. Square got a heap of horse
on our face and yeah, I ditched the chain saw

(59:31):
and stop this out. One of those as happen to
be that brand reciprocating saw, and oh my goodness, it's
so much faster and so less handled. And yeah, you're
a creament and you're right it is.

Speaker 19 (59:44):
It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
A reciprocating saw is one of those ones with the
little blade that comes back and forward.

Speaker 10 (59:54):
Is that right, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 11 (59:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (59:59):
So just like you take a couple of batteries with you,
and batteries last by the few hours and then a
few hours.

Speaker 19 (01:00:05):
You can spake a lot of it out.

Speaker 22 (01:00:07):
And it's especially if you're pasting or stick of the
paste in a spray bottle and mix it up, and
then he can just just cut and then just spray
on the top of the stuff and then cut at
the top of the stump. A bit of a worry
if you've got to stop around, but if you leave
it with your candid days, then then it's all good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
What's the advantage of the reciprocating saw over a chainsaw.

Speaker 22 (01:00:32):
It's just lighter. I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't
actually done it. It was it was just something they
may make every one, and he said, I'll try this
and see if it's easy. And starting your chain saw
every ten minutes and no gas obviously, you know, Chris.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Chris, I brought a I brought a battery chainsaw.

Speaker 22 (01:00:57):
Oh that'd be awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:00:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
So yeah, I brought a feel one and I did. Yeah,
but I think the battery ones just because it's out
in the wops. It's I've just got two batteries. You
can pack those up and go up to the top
and then you've got probably three hours of use there.
So it seems to work better. Yeah, because as far
as with the weed eaters in the hedge trim, as

(01:01:19):
you do get sick of the odd starting of them. Hello, Brendan,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:01:25):
Good Marcus. Yeah, I thought i'd phone through and talk
about wedding guestless fails and a bit of golf.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Great, it's probably pretty much right in the bread basket
for me. Good on you.

Speaker 11 (01:01:38):
Great.

Speaker 10 (01:01:38):
Well, I had a mate who did as oe. You
went to Africa to work on a sewage system for
a hospital, and sure enough found a wife with one
of the doctors there and sent me an email saying, oh,
we're getting married down in Todhunger, coming back for the wedding.
So sure enough I jotted down the date and time

(01:01:59):
and RSVP'd and said to my fante, oh, we got
my friend Paul's wedding. Drive down there for the day
and go along. It wasn't until we got to the
venue that I realized there was only one place set
for us.

Speaker 9 (01:02:16):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (01:02:18):
Wow, potentially one of those things I should have paid
attention to, what names for riginal the invitation, whether it
was just me or me and the plus one?

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
But so where so where did you? Where did you?

Speaker 9 (01:02:32):
Where?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
You driven down from.

Speaker 10 (01:02:35):
Auckland, drove down down to toe Dunger for the wedding.
Sure enough, they politely kind of scurried around and rustled
up another chair and another place setting, and you know,
kind of polite. We're polite about it. But I didn't
go down too well with the fiance either.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
They would have. They probably thought you'd done it deliberately,
did they, because I mean, you just never thought of
it that she wasn't asked.

Speaker 10 (01:03:06):
I just assumed that there was the plus one, and
in hindsight there was the sort of detail I sort
of paid attention to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Was she furious at you?

Speaker 12 (01:03:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:03:16):
Yeah, yeah. I could have lost it over that, but
I think we managed to pull through and.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Did did did you? Did you remain good mates with
the groom and the bride?

Speaker 12 (01:03:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:03:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah no they they forgave me that one too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Wow, and you're still with that the woman that you
took down yep, oh, ye, okay, it's it's all God,
good on you. I appreciate you.

Speaker 10 (01:03:41):
I don't recommend it, though, I don't recommend.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
No, So what did you actually walk into the You've
been to the wedding and walked into the reception or
was it all? Was it an all in one kind
of a deal?

Speaker 10 (01:03:51):
I think I might have ran late and just turned
up for the reception, which is even worse for him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
God, No, you don't read stuff, but you're running late.
You sound like a disaster. Brendan.

Speaker 10 (01:04:01):
Yeah, it was twenty years ago. I've raised my game,
of course, Gorse. You're talking about learning interesting stuff from
YouTube videos. I watched one about a regeneration project down
there on the mainland, and they also didn't want to
use pesticides and that sort of thing, and they discovered

(01:04:22):
although talking about a native plant, I think it might
have been mahy and it has a secret power that
it can grow in the shade and in full sun.
So they were planting it underneath the gorse where it
was happy to grow in the shade, and once it
outgrew the gorse, it started to shade the gorse and

(01:04:45):
killed it because gorse apparently doesn't like growing in shade.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Was not monarchy, sure was mahoy I think so.

Speaker 10 (01:04:54):
I'm only around ninety percent sure. It was like a
broad leaved plant, and it was a bit of a
long term strategy because they had to wait for the
plants to grow up and then for the gorse to
slowly die. But it was kind of like a It
means that you'd kill off the seeds and seedlings and everything,
so eventually you'd win.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Yeah, they are shaded tolerant, mah I appreciate that, Brendan,
thank you. I should do some reading about that. Talking
weddings and gorse, funnily enough, not my intended topic, but
you never know. Hio Brett Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 23 (01:05:33):
Marcus has spread here that gorse controlled. Has anyone who
had a spider mates? Spider mites. They're a little insect
that live on the gorse. I got like a little
spider web and they they eat the course. They boat

(01:05:56):
into it and suck all the nutrition out of it
and all the life out of the gorse. But it
takes a while.

Speaker 11 (01:06:04):
Eh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Was it was that some special might that's been introduced
to control them? Or has it always been here?

Speaker 23 (01:06:12):
I think it might have been introduced. Tried it Department
of Conservation, but I think it, you know, it was
a bit too slow or something. But we had it
on our property and they came and had a look
at it and tried it and what have you. But
it's sort of gone by the wayside. I think over
the years, where was that property Brett in the Far North?

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
I have heard that they've think that they have tried
to find things that will predate on it. Did you
have did you have course on that property?

Speaker 15 (01:06:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
We did, Yeah, and the spider might's affected it or
stopped it growing or infested it.

Speaker 23 (01:06:51):
Oh yeah, they infested it. But it took quite a while,
the very slow, so I think Department of Conservation put
that on the too hard basket as well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Thanks for coming through, Brett. Nice to talk to you
for it's a tea and my name is Marcus. Welcome Marcus.
We didn't tell anyone we were getting married. We just
told everyone we're having a barbecue at my dad's. They
were welcome to come and bring a plate. We supplied
the booze. So of course only of those who really
wanted to be there turned up and we had a
small intimate ceremony. Marcus, we just watched the program on

(01:07:25):
TV read the Barley Bottoming, and seemed like yesterday and
was over twenty years ago. Great interviews, Marcus. The perfumery
in Kelbourn has a gorse floral perfume named a Jonk
made by Frank rey Furt Experience shop at top of
cable car. I've been there. I've been to the perfumery

(01:07:48):
at the top of the cable car. We were married
in nineteen seventy nine. My mother sent out some invites
in three months after our wedding. We realized it's some
very good ends. We're not seen and send an invite

(01:08:08):
and we had to re apologize for our husbands have
passed on and us wives are still good friends. Marcus
had to make tell me he and his girlfriend got
a bit render at a wedding, found a private spot
for some handy peggy end up breaking his banjo string,
blood everywhere, but difficult to explain to the other wedding guests.
Not an expression I've heard before. Marcus has a couple

(01:08:33):
of issues I've seen with inviting a named guest and
including a plus one. Some invited guests trace a treat.
A plus one is optional and may show up on
the day whether without a plus one, which can make
catering more difficult, costly or wasteful. Good point. Another thing
is seating. Some wedding couples like to plan seating at

(01:08:54):
the tables with name placards showing guests where to sit,
so using plus ones may screw up seating plans. To Lisa,
we are talking weddings, but mainly about your whole When
you've got to get the list down, do you not,
if you got married recently, did you ask for partners?
Because that's what all the etiquette people are getting into now,

(01:09:15):
is saying they don't need to ask for a partner.
You just asked the people you want to go to
the wedding that way, you haven't got Josh in his
latest Tinder date. That's not what the article said, but
that's kind of what it was implying. They always said
in the old days. It was no ring, no ring,

(01:09:38):
always like a ryme. Who doesn't love a rhyme like that?
I didn't see there was something on Facebook today how
to find out what your bridgeton name was. I think
it's sir in your middle name. Then the last thing
you drunk with the word ton on the back of it.

(01:09:59):
I forget how it was quite good, although it was
accounted to me. Actually, I got no middle name. The
trouble having no middle name is a lot of those
find out your gangs to name us up, most of
them involve your middle names. So for me, it's hopeless.
I got none. I don't know why. I don't think

(01:10:20):
there's any complicated reason for it. I'm happy has it. Actually,
I haven't felt punished by it, punished. I haven't felt
like I've missed out. Most people are terrified of their
middle names, aren't they the middle name? Good evening, John,

(01:10:44):
AT's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:10:47):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
John? Thank you, thanks for asking and good form.

Speaker 12 (01:10:53):
I'm a nerrad celebrant.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Oh me too.

Speaker 12 (01:10:59):
Have you come across one year when Auntie decides she
should be bringing her daughters them? Why didn't they get
invited to the wedding as well? Despite that they haven't
seen the bride for about thirty years?

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Tell me it again if I had one when the auntie.

Speaker 12 (01:11:13):
I had won recently where the auntie got very put
out that her children never got invited despite the bride
hadn't seen her cousins for about thirty years.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Yeah, how'd that go?

Speaker 12 (01:11:25):
So what happened was we went, Well, we went, I'm sure.

Speaker 11 (01:11:34):
You what?

Speaker 12 (01:11:35):
We went out to sea? Did her on a boat
and did only take so many people? So that was
really easy?

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
But did she did she kick up on the day
or she kicked up a bit earlier?

Speaker 12 (01:11:46):
But earlier, okay, like a couple of days earlier. All
of a sudden there was an so we're going to see.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
She sounds like quite the aunt Those poor children of
the are they sound like they're in a compromise position.

Speaker 12 (01:12:06):
Well, I don't know if they all got told what
was happening.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
You do many winnings, John.

Speaker 12 (01:12:14):
Oh, I'm pretty flascyo turn them away more than I
do them probably.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Yeah, it's I don't deal with bride no, well, of course,
and it's not so much the bride sillers, but there
are always legs on their vowels. They won't organize them
before then they then they just do sort of an
internet cut and paste. I wish they'd put more refin
the fact. I got quite. I got quite, I got
quite despondent.

Speaker 12 (01:12:41):
Yeah, absolutely, Although I even everything.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
I always did it volunteerily. I wasn't doing it as
I just doing it for because I thought it'd be
fun to do. But you could do that, no, yeah,
I could do without the grief because because you want
it to be good for them, and.

Speaker 12 (01:13:02):
You haven't got a year.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Man.

Speaker 12 (01:13:04):
You know, where did you meet? I don't know how
long you been together? About that long?

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
But jeepers, Okay, you might be need to move on
to John, But thank you. Nice to hear from you.
From John to Don Donald's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 10 (01:13:19):
Hey Marcus, Don here. But I'm wondering wondering what my
Bridgeton name might be.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Actually, okay, do you watch Bridgeton?

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:13:31):
I do, That's why I rang.

Speaker 10 (01:13:33):
I'll tell you what you're talking a bit earlier about
what people do on their evenings, whether they go out
to chess club or various other things, and asked, just
sitting there and thinking, am I an antisocial hermit here?
I just like to hang out on social media, watch
watch Netflix things like Bridgeton.

Speaker 21 (01:13:49):
I love that show.

Speaker 10 (01:13:50):
That's that's really cool.

Speaker 14 (01:13:51):
I love that.

Speaker 10 (01:13:52):
Hey, what did you go back in time?

Speaker 21 (01:13:54):
I reckon you're watching?

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
I don't think that existed. Have you watched the latest Bridgeton.

Speaker 10 (01:14:02):
I'm currently watching that one. I've been actually watching that
in Charlotte Spinok, that's really till. I really enjoyed that.
That's I love the period costumes, Like I I was
having a conversation with Sorry, go on, I.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Don't think there were many costumes in the new Bridgeton.
It was a three in the beard romp that caused
the people in the Britain to be outraged. They called
it Bonkerton.

Speaker 10 (01:14:29):
Yeah, well there's a bit of that too. Mat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
Okay, here's your Bridgeton name. Okay, you start with lord right,
Lord yeah, followed by followed by your middle name. Okay,
what's your middle name?

Speaker 10 (01:14:49):
I thought you were going to tell me the rest
of it first okay, John, So I'm Lord John.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Yes, and then the last thing you drank.

Speaker 10 (01:14:58):
Oh dear, I'm in trouble, Lord John.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Coke, Lord John coquatain right, So your Lord John Cokerton,
because you put Ton at the end of it, and
to signify where you're from, and of followed by the
first part of your street name was Shire tagged on
to the end. What's your street Shire?

Speaker 10 (01:15:23):
Well it's Cargol So is it cargol Shire or Carshile.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
You'd be Lord John Cockerton of cargo Shire.

Speaker 10 (01:15:32):
Oh my god, I can change.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
You can change your Facebook profile to that.

Speaker 10 (01:15:36):
There you go, Marco fold me on national radio up
and down the country that this is who I now am.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
Easy to remember, Lord John Cocurtain of cargo Shire.

Speaker 10 (01:15:50):
Oh dear, oh dear, But I am wondering if I'm
a bit of a hermit actually, because I just enjoyed
smashing out, as I said, the social media and listening
to the talkback radio and watching Netflix. I'm not really
an out and out and about evening type of guy.
I'm as you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Probably work hard, you probably you probably you know, haven't
earn yourself a bit of a relax of the evening.

Speaker 10 (01:16:14):
That's true. Some days I think, like everyone else, may
be less through others.

Speaker 15 (01:16:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
I do my relaxing in the morning, which is a
bit topsy turvy.

Speaker 10 (01:16:25):
Your your your world's built bilerhaps, a bit upside downn't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
And I don't and I don't love it. But but yeah,
I don't love the Yeah, I missed the kids before
they go to school normally, so that's the that's the thing.

Speaker 10 (01:16:38):
So but sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
But yeah, but get but I get them at three.
I'm there with the kids from three to seven, So
that's I mean, we've got plenty of time together. It's good,
but it's come.

Speaker 10 (01:16:48):
On, come on, come on, man, Now the truth comes out.
Listen to Lord John speaking here for a moment. This
is now the truth comes out.

Speaker 6 (01:16:57):
Here.

Speaker 10 (01:16:57):
You get the best bits of the day. Morning rush,
trying to get the kids to school. You know, you've
got to get your lunches and your bags. Where's your tie,
where's your whe's shoes?

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Most of parenting, most of parenting is finding out where
the kids stupid shoes are. They're wearing your shoes, I
don't know, shoes in their raincoat one place, jeepers.

Speaker 10 (01:17:21):
No they can't do that. And the worst bit of parenting,
now tell me if you agree with me here, but
the worst bit of parenting is the first day of
the new term. Grab your lunch box, Johnny, and then
you realize, oh crap, that's what we didn't do on
the last day.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Of too that sit there for writing for two months?

Speaker 10 (01:17:41):
Yeah, oh yes, even two months, even just two weeks
over the easter break.

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
Says Lord John cocurtain. Was there something that Lord John
Cocatain of Cargo was that it was just the three things,
wasn't it?

Speaker 20 (01:17:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:17:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.

Speaker 10 (01:18:00):
That's fantastic. Where did you find this? Is this like
something off of some website that make these?

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
It's endlessly there's endlessly how to find your Star Wars name,
or how to find your national party name, or how
to find your Bridgeton name?

Speaker 10 (01:18:16):
What's the national party late name? Now you're talking now,
now I'm getting excited and this is starting to sound interesting.
I'm going to ask you about to ask about your
view and a second on this on these grainny flats. Actually,
I'd love to know what you think about.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
I even I haven't even I'm not even engaging with
the political stories at the moment, it all seems to
be so depressing. You can build a what's the face
and against of it?

Speaker 10 (01:18:42):
Oh, I don't know really what Well, actually I do
know a bit of the falls and against it, to
be quite honest. The flours are that you get to
you don't have the hassles of all these consents with
your local regional council, district council, all those things, and
fight with your neighbors. You're just going to be allowed
to build a sleep out on the backyard for grandma or.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
People will be using those to rent out, and then
there'll be they'll be unfit things rent out to families.
They won't they'll become part of people becoming landlords.

Speaker 11 (01:19:13):
Is that right?

Speaker 10 (01:19:15):
Well, yes and no. Actually that's really interesting you say
that because I did have this debate with someone earlier today.
It's not gonna you're not allowed. They're saying you're not
going to be allowed to rent them out. They're certainly
not going to be unset because they have to be
built with an LVP, with a legal licensed build and
practician to guy right, So they're gonna they're going to
be to code, they're going to be beautiful. There's no

(01:19:36):
problems with that triple glazing or double glazing whatever, you know,
all that fruit. But are they going to not get
rented out in the fullness of time? Damn for trade?
I reckon they course they will. The minute that kids
move out or grandma passes. Sorry grandma, there's going to
be a flattery in the back of that, and then
a work around and eventually the government's going to have

(01:19:58):
to change the rules because everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
I'tin I don't think any governments managed to prevent people
from renting out. Yeah, okay, yeah, I.

Speaker 10 (01:20:07):
Mean it's the government. It's the government, I think. Don't
you think the government's done a half reasonable job When
Auckland got a little bit crazy for a week while there,
with people converting their garages badly and then going down
to winds and getting a huge accommodation supplements and what
have you to stick too many people in a badly insulated,

(01:20:27):
badly badly run little backyard garage. I think that was
a bit rough and on the nose, and I felt
like the government cleaned that up.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
You're really carrying away now you got your bridget to
name an't your lord Cocotain oh really.

Speaker 10 (01:20:40):
Oh well, yes, I must say, I must say I
do feel like I have certainly been elevated on the
show to a whole new level. Markers. I must think
what you immensely?

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
What's got me? Is had called the kid Don John?
Well presumed I presumed Don's your radio de plume.

Speaker 10 (01:21:01):
Right, Well, actually no, Marcus, it's not the case of
the wall. And my name is Donald John to start
with him.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
Donald was my.

Speaker 10 (01:21:11):
Uncle's name, And unfortunately I had a great uncle who
passed in the war. He was tragically killed in a
in a prisoner shuw of worship off Germany during that
Second World War. And John is my father, my late
father's brother's name. So they're all family names actually, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
And the Coqatains, where does that part come from? But
what the Coquatains? Where does the Coqatain name come from?

Speaker 10 (01:21:42):
Coquitin?

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:21:43):
The Cocatin, Well, Cocatin, that's that's that's a very that's a.

Speaker 20 (01:21:49):
Very historic beverage that allegedly, allegedly it's an introduction did
actually have a certain little additive to its tonic that
really increased you to bite and gave you a certain
vigor and vitality on a day. It really it really
did up lifted.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Gentleman of standing at that point in time.

Speaker 10 (01:22:12):
I believe Today, however, it.

Speaker 10 (01:32:02):
Stewart good Marcus?

Speaker 8 (01:32:05):

looked at you strangely if you order coffee after midday?

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:32:14):
Can you please elaborate why? Because I'm going there next
year and I need my coffee otherwise I'm going to

Where are you going?

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Where are you going?

Speaker 10 (01:32:28):
We're doing a canal trap and not a canow trip.
We're doing a boat trip from brut Apiece to Ampsteam
and then we're flying down to somewhere and doing a
ten day rail trip.

Speaker 15 (01:32:40):
Oh well, no, you can't come.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Sounds like the missus has organized it, right.

Speaker 15 (01:32:48):
Sorry?

Speaker 12 (01:32:49):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
Sounds like you haven't organized it.

Speaker 10 (01:32:54):
I did part of it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Yeah, yeah, so bought a piece to Amsterdam. Is all
on the same river, Yes it is.

Speaker 10 (01:33:01):
I think it's a Danube.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Oh yeah, heard about the Waltz.

Speaker 10 (01:33:06):
Fifteen day cruise.

Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
Gee.

Speaker 10 (01:33:11):
But the thing that you worried me when you're talking
about that text is why do they look at you
strangely asked mid day if you ask for a coffee,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
I presume it'd be a cappuccino would be the one
that they because that's the morning drink. I don't know
about that, so you'd have to google that. But tell me,
I'm more interested in the rail trip. Where is that?

Speaker 10 (01:33:33):
It's a teen day rail trip done through Trafalca, and
I actually don't know where we're going. Well, I actually
I had a look at my itinerary for the river cruise,
but I haven't taken much interest in the rail trip.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
Yes, do not even know what country to Stewart.

Speaker 10 (01:33:58):
It's going through quite a few countries markers. I think
we're going to end up in Italy.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
Oh okay, okay, yeah, I think.

Speaker 10 (01:34:07):
Don't don't quote on that.

Your team on the sist of March and back in
New Zealand on the seat of May.

I like the fact that half it's on a bite
the other half's on a train. I think that's quite good.

Speaker 10 (01:34:30):
I think so too. Actually, how Marcus, how maybe even
you're all going up the trail or wake traveling Petrea?

Speaker 17 (01:34:43):
