Bouncy bouncy

If you want to see grace and style in action, go to www.ajhackett.com.
From the home page, click on "Daily Photos".
On the next page choose the Kawarau Bridge bungy site.
In the media search box type in the following: AJHK501171804645
Nice eh?
You can also search for another photo with the same identifier, except replace the final digit with a 6.
Hope you enjoy them! Don't buy any though, 'cos I've already got them . . .

Sarah and Sally left this morning (nursing classic NZ hangovers) and I will be moving on from Queenstown tomorrow, not sure where to yet. I'll be back here to do the big day trip sometime in Feb, when it's all quiet.
By the way, if anyone wants a job, there is an opening with "safari of the rings" driving a Land Rover round the local LOTR filming sites giving guided tours. Tempting! Take care my lovelies.

The miracle man came & huffed & puffed, installed a new modem & behold the old lady (?) is back in the world of www. Thank heavens I have seen the dreaded bungy photo & know you are back safely!!! Whar we do seems so mild in comparison & totally uninteresyting: Christmas seems years away but had some chill-out time. M & H have had the lurgy & now Oliver is being a bit less jolly olly-ish, but walking round like a trooper.
Your diary is wonderful & being viewed by friends relations two of whom are preparing to join you & taking in all your experiences.
I was overwhelmed by the gift of a new VCR + DVD which I need time to enjoy, but with the rubbish on Tv are a godsend. Keep up with the impressive tome & I'll hope to be more in contact now. Tons of love Mum.

Hi David,
Chas and Carol here, glad you enjoyed the bungy jump - we'll take that as an achievement on behalf of the whole family if we may; apart from that your whole trip sounds really great fun. We're just back from the Val D'Isere and pining for new adventures but think we'll stick to the northern hemisphere until the snow runs out here. We'll go back to the Alps in the next couple of weeks and continue for the season.
Cheers

Dear David

Thank you for giving me the time to introduce my bespoke drystone walling giftshop service to you.

I do understand that initially a drystone walling giftshop may be of no interest to you, or you may already have a drystone walling giftshop (DWG) which you are more than happy with, however I pray (excuse my hope of divine inducement) that I may tempt you to investigate further.

Although I'm one of the youngest DWG practioners, I have over twenty years experience working at the highest level in plinth endorsements, with most of my influence from my former company, Anderson, Sheppard, Kustad Powdah. This “influence” is basically that I measure, then from a blank sheet, hand craft your individual pattern for you in cream cheese! (unlike most 'DWG's” who simply adjust a basic pattern near to your spec). Your giftshop is created through the various fitting stages to produce the perfect combination of soft, natural and comfortable shop with a distinct blend of aesthetics & your individual style along with Guiness bar attachment.

Obviously I use only the finest materials sourced from f*****g Northern monkeys and around the world, also the whole process is controlled by me, an extravagance not always afforded by larger companies.

As I choose not to be entirely based in London, this heretic status does give you the benefit of enabling me to charge on average 20% less than my competitors. This at least must take the sting out of the London congestion charge.

At this point your patience has probably worn thinner than the seat of the last badger you bought, so I’ll spare you the name dropping of customers and look forward to meeting you instead. You can meet me at either of my offices or if possible I will come to your home or office.

For more information please visit www.crabclaws.com, or preferably telephone me personally [+44 (0) 1288 581 720] to discuss your giftshop needs.

Yours sincerely,
Anna Thestic

Are you sure that's you?? Can't see the crash helmet!! Having partaken of such mentalness it is good to see other such fools jumping off perfectly good bridges. I had a head rush for a day. Boing.
