Nick
I come from a land down under where women glow and men chunder ... well actually that's from a song about Australia but many of the same things apply here in New Zealand - just with fewer flies. I'd like to think it's a comment on the language rather than our habits but then again it is Australian...
Anyway, I work in the Greenpeace New Zealand office as the 'web manager' which, in a smallish office like ours, means I manage the website and myself. Lots of fun.
I've got my own weblog here that really doesn't get the attention it should - but you know how it is.

Hey Nick, cool comment. I have a rainbow pic thats quite special, Ive called it Greetings from the Rangatira. Its a rainbow spanning the Island in the middle of Island Bay, called Tapu Te Ranga Motu. I was on my way to my first meeting with Bruce Stewart, at the Tapu Te Ranga Marae, to discuss illustrating his poem for the resource consent hearing on Friday morning, 9:15am, Wellington Regional Council, where we are trying our best to Save the Point. Te Raekaihau Point is very special and needs all the kaitiakitanga we can muster. Paul. you can use those pics anyway yoiu want, I'm sure they align with your organisation really well. Paul. (ask me for the full size)

Nick as an Australian I feel it is my duty to point out that while many of us have also puzzled over those lyrics, the correct line is: "Where the beer does flow and men chunder". Which, when you think about it, makes a hell of a lot more sense really.
