    The Manawatu river. Reported by The Cawthron Institute to be the dirtiest in the western world. Eating fish from it will drive you to drink and stunt your growth for sure.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I recon you guys are better off letting the rest on the world believe what the Cawthorn institute are telling them.

    They are better off confined to their aircon offices, writing their reports

    Otherwise you'll never get a look in with every man and his dog turning up there.

    Cheers

    Or stop Lion Brown drinkers from pissing in it. It has been scientifically proven that the urine produced from drinking one can of Lion Brown is far more toxic and damaging to a river's ecosystem that the combined effluent of 5000 stock units pissing and shitting in it for a month.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Jezus you don't get out much then. The cow sewer behind Oringi is a long way from pristine.
