Subject: Invade New Zealand
Hugo    7/14/2008 2:49:01 PM
Sorry been scarce recently.. I`ll be a Dad shortly and nobody told me there was so much to do.. and living in Germany where you almost need a license to be a parent, there are parenting classes and a great deal of halabaloo that my wife is making me do. Besides, I have become rather boring. I did want to let you lads see this however. I realise that you have probably (been amongst the first to..) seen it but I thought just in case I would put it up for your amusement.. http://www.invadenewzealand.com/ it`s a play on a New Zealand tourism campaign.. P.S. GF, I read somewhere on here that you were thiking of moving to Spain (and no longer Germany) so I suppose instead of a coin flip you let their football teams decide where you´d move to? Probably a bright move, real estate is tanking there and I hear your corner of the world is nearing it´s peak. Besides, if you get frustrated at politics in Australia you´ll rip your hair out here in Germany (it´s an advantage to one´s sanity to be illiterate here).

  Thanks for the congratulations - only a week to go now so hopefully all will go well.
 
  Your hotel blew up a week after you checked out?!?  Was it due to ETA, religious extremists or faulty gas lines?
 
 I checked out your link but found two commercials promoting global warming (probably be arrested for that in Germany  ;) ).

Be sure to watch it with sound on, I found the lyrics very amusing..
 
"No planes, no tanks no navy...
...not to want it would be crazy..."
 
Also the altered crest of the "Department of Offense.."

I sent you my new email addy, so let me know how things go...

Disgruntled Basque..  (basque country is quite nice, but our spanish escorts were always nervous, so it took the shine off relaxing as much as we'd hoped)

 I checked out your link but found two commercials promoting global warming (probably be arrested for that in Germany  ;) ).  

unfort, the link changes every week when they have a new "contest". so sorry.  I wouldn't have minded getting a copy but my stream ripper didn't work as well as it should have...

  Already ahead of you - check your inbox.  When I see your email's signature I start to think my choice of careers is pretty boring by comparison.
 
I have also heard the Basqueland is nice and the food is supposed to be tremendously good.  Shame about the violence although I read it's subsiding.  One positive side-effect of the EU might be the ability of regions to grain greater autonomy should they desire it.
 
I realised after checking your link that the invade new zealand campaign was part of an advertising competition.  Both of the entrants were well done although I feel the one I posted ought to have won that little contest.
