First shoot, first beer, first fight, first feel, first car. The memories are strong Maca.

There is such a thing as WD, I've seen women reading it. I've lived in this friendly South Waikato town since 1966 apart from the usual few years experiencing the 'great overseas experience' thing when I was younger plus a few short years in Wellywood.

So we were there at the same time. I left town in 1971 to join the army.

Shit I have just seen that we are the same age. We could have gone to school at the same time.

Typical business catyness/one ups man ship.
I buy less from H&F than I buy from GS.
I buy nothing from GS.

I see theHearalds bringing up Tipples past to justify these criminal actions? Can't believe no reaction from the police! It's a fickle country we live in, laws for some no for others? Of course I only see in black and white!

I see one difference between the chopper pilot and the reporter. And its a big one. The reporter set out to INTENTIONALLY break the law. It was deliberate act and she KNEW she was going to break the law when she did so. The Pilot did NOT go out with the intention of breaking the law. He was there in a guidance role and only made the decision to do what he did when he saw there could be fatal consequences if he did not.

SO

If a bloke who flew a helicopter while not currently licensed in a life and death rescue situation is not permitted to break the rules in that situation then no way in hell should a reporter allowed to break laws of a far more serious note without repercussions. (Fraud / forgery, and illegeally obtaining firearm and clearly her reason for obtaining a firearm was not for a legal purpose)

My thoughts.

got any videos you could post? Specially the "feel" bit?

Videos hadn't been invented back then. I could draw you a picture if you want.

And you know what they are really? The result a teacher got when she asked her class to paint candle light! Pretty impressive? I bet she was mortified
