Kevin Milne has an issue with his calendar.
It’s not the type you’d expect; it’s not a manufacturing error or a technological glitch, but rather a clash he didn’t anticipate.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from news Talks at b.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ah Jack. Where'd you get your bird feeder this morning?
How amazing is that? Says Susy Jack. What was your
bird feeder brand? So I went on to Peter Ta Free,
New Zealand, and I got a Pecker Pecker bird feeder.
And I'm not being paid to promote it or anything.
I just bought one. It's pretty good because you attach
it to one of those warratars, you know, the metal
things you can stick in the ground. You're attached it
(00:34):
to one of those, and it's important that you get
high off the ground. You kind of want about a
meter and a half or higher off the ground so
that you know, cats and rats and that kind of
thing don't get up there and disturb it. Jack, you
could publish poems. I saw the description of what you
were reading, says Steve. That's very kind. Steve might be
a bit of a stretch. I don't think anyone needs
me to get too lyrical anyway. Ninety two ninety two
(00:57):
is our text number. If you can beat six to
twoy I'd love to hear from you. I've actually put
a video of it for all of the non believers
out there. I've put a video taken from my take
from my window looking outside and all the toy lined
up Yesterday've put it on our Facebook page, So go
to Jack Tame on Facebook and you can see that.
If you like, Kevin Milne is with us this morning.
Kill to Kevin. Oh, hang on this again, Kill to Kevin.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, don't you think those toy look kind of like criminals? Yeah,
when they come and to drink, they're always looking behind
them and around them and genuinely make sure nobody's sneaking
up on them totally.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, although the silver eyes are probably more twitchy in
that they know that they're going to get shoved out
of the way by two. You know, it's actually amazing.
It's only this. This is like going to sound like
an crearly dumb observation, but it was only upon setting
up the bit that I really appreciated the difference in
size between some birds and that a too he is
(01:54):
probably like six or seven silver eyes, Like you could
fit six or seven silver eyes and a toy, which
is a really big discrepancy. So you can see why
the too he's able to You know, it's top of
the pecking order, very little parting order. Yeah, but it's
interesting reading.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
A book at the moment called bird Watching, and you
know it says that the silver eye is only a
fifth weight of a mouse.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Wow. Wow, that's incredible. Yeah, there's such a cue. I
love them because they kind of they're like little you know,
they're like little ping pong polls. But they're they're all
kind of slightly shabby at this time year as well,
they're very very cute. I've got a real affinity for
the little for the little silver rise. But Kevin, you
have had a little bit of an issue with your
calendar for this week.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, Now, why is it that printed on my SPCA
twenty twenty four calendar is, for example, September the twenty
third South Canterbury Anniversary Day. Useless information? Why on January
the two does it say, seriously, day after New Year's Day?
Surely you know that. But on on Saturday, the sixth
(02:58):
of July, that's today, it doesn't tell me that the
New Zealand All Blacks are playing England in the first
International the Razor Era. As a result, what's now written
on our calendar for the night is Guru of Chai
seven pm. Guru of Chai is a play put on
by the Indian In Theater Company, the most innovative, fantastic
(03:22):
theater group in the country, Christian's Dairy, etc. I've talked
about them before. It'll be brilliant, But Jack, I'd rather
be sitting in front of my Telly tonight at seven
pm watching the All Blacks than going to a play. Sure,
I'll record the game, I'll watch it when I get home,
but it's not the same. Call me a linear constricted boomer,
(03:44):
but home test matches needed to be watched live. It
goes without saying that it wasn't me that booked for
the play. My wife did. But it's not her fault.
When she made the booking, the little square that says
six July was blank. How was she to know it
was a momentous night. She simply said, Kevin, do you
(04:04):
want to go and see Indian Inklan play? And I
said yes. Had she been the perfect woman, she might
have said, darling, No. She never said through that and
there she might have said, Darling, it's on a Saturday
night in the middle of winter. A check. There's not
(04:24):
a matt Test match on it or the warriors in
factor are both. But that's a lot to ask someone
who's not interested neither. So can I say to the SBCA,
you do a great job, but before you put out
next year's calendar, don't bother calling every regional council for
their anniversary day, Chatton said to the New Zealand at
(04:46):
Rugby Union.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, yes, that is a very very good point. I
wonder if with digital calendar, is there something you can
click whereby it puts on all of those kind of
key sporting events. There must be someone must have invented that, right,
because I get caught out by exactly the same thing
from time to time. But you know what, Kevin, I'm
going to give you a hack. And this is very
cheeky of me. You know you don't have to go. No,
(05:10):
you've bought a ticket, but you've supported the Kopappa.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
My daughter's actually just the rid home affected, right, and
maybe some negotiations.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, you see. I think it would be a great
opportunity a mother daughter bonding evening, you know, And you
have that that cough of yours has been getting a
little bit more harsh over the last couple of days.
I think the responsible thing to do Kevin might be
just you know, not for you, but for the community,
you know, just.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I think there are some possibilities in that regard. Yeah.
On the other hand, I hear it's a brilliant, brilliant play. Yeah, yeah,
very brilliant.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, whoever goes along from the Mellon household, I hope
you enjoyed this evening. Thank you very much, Kevin, that
is Kevin mel thank you for your feedback as well. Well,
it turns out my six two, he apparently, isn't remotely
impressive at all. Jack, I feed my bird life here
in Milton Kluther. I've got wax eyes a silver eyes.
But my record for the Towey family is seventeen feeding
it at one time every day. I have a minimum
(06:11):
of ten, says Kathy. Okay, that's pretty impressive, Kathy. How
about this, Jack, I have a row of cody trees
and have up to thirty two e feeding it once. Really,
thirty that's astonishing, isn't it. Susie reckons she's got the
same thing up to thirty at my place. You get
the core fire in as well. This time of year
keeps the Towy going. Okay, Well, apparently my six too,
(06:33):
is not remotely impressive, but thank you very much.
