Hello all

The error of sex instead of music on a New Zealand orchestra's promotional
CD is probably the result of a dastardly plot by some disgruntled Aussie
football fan.

The English have the Irish; Canadians have the Newfies; Aussies have the
Kiwis. You know the sort of thing - "New Zealand, where men are men and the
sheep are nervous".

The New Zealanders usually give better than they get - "when a New
Zealander migrates to Australia, the average IQ of both countries  goes up".

Oz and NZ are (very) slowly moving further apart due to seafloor spreading
but sport, Bondi beach and NZ Sauvignon Blanc will keep us together.

All the best
Anton

PS: the CD mix-up could have been a genuine mistake - the producer might
have asked for six tracks on the CD. Some Kiwis pronounce "six" as "sex" or
"sucks" - useful to know if your shopping for beer in Auckland.
