I bloody enjoyed my years in the UK, loved the pub culture, but then again I was living in the country and nowhere near London.

That would be pretty much impossible Cam, since we could never get you lot to speak the lingo proper like what we does

my old man was known as tiroa ted by lots of people locally and ...well.... I'm his son so ...go figure

The family name is it? Well my grandad came from Ireland. Most mail comes to the Dundee Ranch. I are married to @mrs dundee and have two sons @seandundee and @possum trapper

The first time I got called Dundee was on a third form trip on the Central Plateau where we were staying on Mount Ngaurahoe and I caught a possum by hand and cut its head off with the hut axe. Cured the skin and brought it home. Much to the disgust of the female members of the trip. And the old teacher that was on the trip is teaching possum trapper now and tells the same story to the class every year. I met the teacher at parent /teacher interviews it was funny him recalling the moment when this happened.

Next time I was in the Northern Territory in Australia on the billabongs and I spotted more crocs than the guide and the name stuck with me from then till now.

Because I love BushHunting ..........................

My online name is pretty simple really.

P38 = Pete and I was 38 when I join the Information Super Highway

Although there are lots of other P38's around from Can Openers to Pistols to WWII Fighters and of course Me

Cheers
Pete

kotuku is from my ancestral home inland from greymouth on NZs immortal Westcoast.

Welcome. Enjoy.

Nice try Rushy, but don't go visiting Yorkshire and having a go at it.
For the record, I come from the opposite end of the country. IE; a soft southerner

My user name is simply the nickname I was given when about 8 yrs old, on account of me being VERY flat footed and walking like, well, a Penguin.
This is contrary to a theory put out there by another forum member, that I closely resemble Danny De vito.
Thanks Gobo
