    Default Saying goodbye

    Nothing to do with death, it's just saying goodbye to loved ones as they set off on their travels.
    The manager of Dunedin airport has put a time limit on how long you can hug your loved ones as they set off on their travels, after extensive research he has put a maximum time of 3 minutes to say goodbye, any longer and you'll be fined.
    Seems a bit harsh especially if they are off for a long period.
    He says it's to prevent overcrowding in the airport.

    Remember when you were a young lad, had a few beers and went to bed with the most beautiful girl in the world in a foreign clime, then awoke next morning glanced to your left (or right!) said 'jezzuz christo' it took you less than 3 minutes to get out of there!

    I know the girls where fast in NZ when I went there many moons ago, and their maternity nurses where some of the best in the world. but I didnt't think they would fill the airport as quick as that. that manager must have had a big family.

    Tony once they found out you were a cadet (pilotin) they used to put money in! as one day you would come back as a rich Piloto (officer) because they made sure you never forgot their performance

    Surprising what you could get for a bar of Yardleys soap, which gave birth to the South American prayer instead of

    'he filled her soul with hope' it became ' he filled her hole with soap'

    Yardleys? must have been worth its weight in gold, only ever saw buttermilk, Sunlight dhoby soap and about once every 5 years - Lux .
    2 bars buttermilk = 1 large bag of lychees
    2 bars Sunlight = 1 bucket full of large prawns

    It is quite amazing how six pints can turn some female into a gorgeous lady.
    But the dark of the night turns them into a nightmare come day light./
