all of the fucking above with bells on!anyhow as itting here have just returned from farewelling me mate phil.
phil a maori was a larger than life character -never said much but believe me he have had that yankee prick dropped skinned gutted and on the hangi hook before twump even realised his arse was in the fresh air.verbally phil swould have trump for an entree ,such was his mana
first time Ive been to a full maori funeral -i was bloody impressed to put it mildly.I thought it was great when we all walked with phil from the marae to the cemetry and his final resting place traffic banked up ,but they just joined the solemnity of tne occasion.
. his former wife spoke to me"......phil always said you were a big hearted bloke",a bloody great tribute from a man who also had a heart of gold.
Phil patira ,nurse ,wine buff, rugby fanatic&netball(known to wear a lions jersey when ABs played em just remind the boys!!),maori historian,diplomat and alround good bastard rest easyPHIL your lifes toil has finished
he lived for those he loved
those he loved remember
excuse me guys for getting sidetracked but thats me ,that how i feel.
PHIL mate -one final favour mate -could ya ask huey to give me a clear passage over the bloody otira gorge in future.
Adios big fella.
