[quote name='VSBfromH' timestamp='1151593728' post='66631'] Re the New Zealand "song": A quote from the writer's website says: "Dave Dobbyn is regarded as a national treasure in New Zealand. It’s a Japanese expression used for people who have made such a contribution to a country’s identity and culture that their existence is a cause for celebration." Can someone explain to me what part of that sentence is being referred to as a "Japanese expression"? I wondered where I'd heard of him, and checked said site to see that he has done work with the excellent (but not so excellently named) Bic Runga. In some of his pics he looks like NZ's answer to Mick Hucknall - not something you'd want to publicise about yourself. By the way, NZ's a wonderful place, and doesn't need some crappy song, some fit skinny bird and George Clooney looky-likey on a boat to sell it - just show the pictures! [/quote]

At least its 8 degrees now

Today I had a 15 minute bike ride through town. It started in sunshine, then I got into a hail storm, followed by heavy rain. When I arrived at my destination (soaking wet, of course) the sun was shining again. All this at a balmy 9 degrees C.

According to the Dutch Met Office KNMI this was the coldest 23rd of May since it started records in 1901. May 2013 may well b...
