Jul 10 - Winterfest and B'day

Hello

I am out of the office on Fri 02 Jul and won’t be driving my desk until Thu 8 Jul. We are heading back down to Queenie for some more wild Winter Festering.

On Saturday we’ll be up Coronet Peak for the grabaseat main event – Mountain Mayhem. There will be the Dash for Cash for the Harry hard outs, Musical Chairs for some seat grabbing and the Suitcase Race for a quick getaway. Hopefully there won’t be any broken backs like the Birdman, ouch! But don’t worry Jax knows first aid and Tors watches every episode of Grey’s Anatomy, so we have you covered.

Then I’m going to stay down South for a bit to celebrate the date of my birth. I will be swapping my company rented brand spanking new Avis 4WD Prado with keyless entry, push button start and reversing camera and palatial Crowne Plaza hotel room with free 80s inspired steam room, for a sweet Jucy El Cheapo car (scored a free TC lift pass with it tho’) to fishtail it to Wanaka and stay at the YHA Purple Cow, which had picture on their website of a bed so bowed that it looks like an elephant took a nap in it.

It should be neato fun!

I use the term "neato", because I have getting in a bit of trouble lately for my language. Although some of it is taken out of context I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the use of the following words: knob, bomb, destructive, kids, bugger(s), FA, Scotsman, smokin, crucify, ex-MP, Elizabeth, Hikoi, JAFA, Asian, wad, crap, Dunno, vitamins, Wharepaku, sleeping, pornography, cuzzies, cougar, spanking and any others that may have caused offence. Sorry.

Duane is taking one for the team and will be in the office if you have an urgent query – Duane.Perrott@airnz.co.nz.

Jax and Tors will be back on Tuesday if you would prefer to wait for them – Jacqui.Beaver@airnz.co.nz or Victoria.Hooper@airnz.co.nz

Otherwise if you want to wish me a happy birthday give me a bell – 021 847 480.

P.S. You can check out all the Winterfest action on Juice TV – they are all over it again like a dirty, itchy rash (the ointment isn’t working).

Laters, Sunil
