Fast little things. Didn't look like it's feet even touched the road when it crossed. Huge problem over here with the rabbits and possums. Turned the pigs and deer into a massive hunting business and aren't as big of a problem as over there

The issue with the stoats was that they developed a taste for the eggs of the native birds, kiwis, wekas etc. I couldn't give a toss for the wekas, there's enough of those noisey bastards, but I do care about the kiwis as several breeds are in serious danger of clocking out.

Missus MKEB.. just surprised me with my 40th birthday present. My birthday is next month so I had to ask for annual leave (ruined the surprise; but who cares)....three nights in Queenstown and the day after we get back; a trip to New Plymouth to catch Warriors V Raiders. Geez....mega stoked.

Sounds huge mate - enjoy

Yeah, should be interesting. It is an excellent portfolio, and they have some new SKU's in the pipeline. At the same time they are looking to enter off premise far stronger than they are at the moment, and that should make for a good challenge in my territory of western Sydney. Really looking forward to getting stuck in, properly pumped for this.

In the mean time, I am also looking forward to not working for Unilever from Tuesday afternoon.

Just out of interest SGL, what were you selling for Unilever, bastard company they are. Drew knows why I say that.

What happened to you?

Nothing directly, but I worked for many years for Proctor and Gamble and they were our sworn enemy.......and they played very dirty. Every trick in the book. We were not exactly squeaky clean but we had this weird mid-western Bible Belt morality........funny now, when I look back on it.

Funny that, it is exactly how I look at Nestle at the moment (and Simplot when I was with McCain).

PnG, Unilever, Nestle and GSK have numerous ethical issues with specific parts of their operations. Unilever is like Unicron though...
