We Aussies, now that we are living no longer on the sheep’s back but on the resources boom and flogging the world substances such as yellowcake, tin, bauxite, iron, coal and gas, feel vindicated in transference and slagging the Kiwis big time about their sheepish bad habits.
You’ve heard the jokes:
- How do New Zealanders find sheep in the long grass . . . “Very enjoyable thank you eh?”.
- Why does New Zealand have some of the fastest race horses in the world? Because the horses have seen what they do with their sheep
- An Aussie journalist was in New Zealand doing stories where he saw a Kiwi farmer doing unnatural things with a sheep. He approached the Kiwi and firstly asked, "What sort of sheep is that?" He scribbled down the farmer's reply - "a Merino". The next question was, "Do you shear them?" The farmer replied hastily, "No! Go and find yer own!"
(I think only Kiwi's and Yarpies will get that one!)
Well we know that the Kiwi’s get a bit pissed off with these jokes (many of which were first levelled at Australia before anyone realised that the land of the Long White Cloud had a sense of humour – or indeed sheep) In fact they’re probably just puzzled as to why some Aussie would put a jumbuck in his tucker bag, when with a raised eyebrow and some sweet talk it could be coaxed into a sleeping bag!
Sheep jokes aside, the New Zealanders have taken the joke to a new level with a slash, gore-fest of a little movie called Black Sheep that’s taking the antipodes by storm. Sheep have exacted their sweet revenge via celluloid. Sheep shaggers – sheep baggers beware! An experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that terrorize a rural town in New Zealand.
This is a fun-filled ridiculous out-of-control blood-soaked ride where bitten humans are transformed into Weresheep. There are no rules set in the film and there’s nothing to take seriously. The goal is to have you sit back, relax and have one hell of a good time.
I told you I had a silly day. This just tickled my fancy.
And in the event you’re reading this Stan . . . you really should give me a call!

Heh heh... I saw that film on a trailer recently, that sorta thing's right up my street!!!
I know one or two New Zealanders, they're fishermen... they're more like the Irish than the Irish themselves!
I love a good gorefest if there's a bit of humour behind it. I jut love the idea that the stupidest animals in the world get their revenge on the stupidest animals in the world. You're way ahead o me. My New Zealanders are Irish and a Jerseyman!
Ah, so New Zealand is the Wales of the Southern Hemisphere ...
I have got to see this film! :)

JD: Thanks, I think. "Shmooze: talk idly or casually and in a friendly way". Casual and friendly, khule. Idly . . mmm I must lift my game!
Ha! Classic stuff... I'm going to have to steal those jokes for the next pubcast I'm afraid... I'll give you full credit of course:)
