    Absolutely, though genuinely rewarding as well, helping people finish their lives in as comfortable and as dignified a manner possible. Legends.

    Will do. Clever use of words to get me to buy the beers there...but I would anyway, because I like beer.

    Well I also like beer and I never miss my round, so I guess we'd need to have a few to even it up

    and sometimes it's confusing who got the last round so you better get in one more each

    In breaking news, it’s now known that it’s possible to drive the entire length of the island on one tank of fuel and without having to stop for a piss. Happy days.

    @JC Not that I'm saying I believe that they didn't stop but I have driven Akl-Wtn many times without stopping. I mean after you clear Green Lane what's there to stop for? It's all a bit "Here Be Dragons"

    @dogmeat All I will say is you’ve clearly got a much better bladder than mine.

    I'm in good shape "down there" if I do say so myself and I would definitely need a "comfort break" on an 8hr drive!

    I wasn’t even there! It was all @dogmeat ’s idea.

    Seriously though, that should be in the learning thread. Awesomely weird story.

    You’ve either given @Snowy a new idea or sprung one of his secret weapons:)

    Not saying.
    Bizarre story. This is certainly a bit worrying about her intentions "a 2-pound (0.91 kg) drilling hammer"

    As @JC said it should be in the learning thread. Who knew about these things for starters ? "Maximum Absorbency Garments".
    Handy for a couple of women driving without stopping from AKL to Welly.

    Apparently it's 5 hours from Auckland to Cape Reinga, so the full trip would be around 13 hours. Seems unlikely... Was talking about it with my wife, and I think MoH public servants would generally be trained to accept people's statements at face value, where the police or a department like immigration would be a lot more suspicious.
