New Zealand
I was watching a show on TV about two lovely guys who started a campsite on Harris, the Scottish Island, to visit their site click here.
It’s such a lovely life, or so it seems, they had money worries they probably had arguments, they probably had days when it was bad. To many New Zealand looks like a place that you’d never come back from, look at the photo! But you know there were days when it rained, and rained and rained. There were days when it took me an hour to get over the bridge because the traffic was so bad. Money was tight, its an expensive place to live. It is a long way from any where. Yes it is simply stunning in parts and I guess if we had owned a camp site on the South Island and taken a 180 degree change in out lifestyle we may have stayed. Perhaps our mistake was to try and do there what we do here. In the end our parent our here, our culture is here our hearts are here in the uk. I love taking the girls to the tower of London, I know about it and the people who lived there. I loved the culture of the South Pacific but I love baguettes, cafe noir and pain au chocolait , it doesn’t make me french!
Now I am faced with doing here what we should have probably done there, in New Zealand, what enterprise shall I choose?

A:3K skills event postponed following withdrawal of England flops Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard – News – MirrorFootball.co.uk
Rooney and Gerrard pull out of A:3K skills event
Published 11:22 30/06/10 By MirrorFootball
A:3K, the star-studded skills event due to take place at London’s O2 Arena on July 17, has been postponed following the withdrawal of Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney.
The England duo were due to compete in a series of Gladiators-style challenges with global football stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Didier Drogba and David Villa.
Director of A:3K Terry Byrne said “Both Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have made it clear they believe it would be inappropriate for them to participate in A:3K at this time.
“We fully understand and respect both players’ decisions. We could have replaced them with two other players but feel the players involved are six of the best in the world – and that is what we promised we would deliver. “
Organisers hope to reschedule the event with the same line-up in June 2011.
Rooney will earn £500k for one night’s work in A:3K skills challenge

High Value bits
This post by Rod Drury makes for very interesting reading as does his blog. I think that it is going to be interesting as the merger of the internet and TV continues. Thankfully content is still going to be the key to gaining audience. The audience is unforgiving, discerning and should never be under estimated. And in this loved up branded world we now occupy they decide what things are, we don’t tell them. Think about all the movies you were told were going to leave you spell bound with an experience you were never going to forget, I bet you did, forget – and very quickly. As the audience decides it is the content providers who best respond that will make or break the suppliers, we should all remember that in the main VHS, blue ray, betamax, DVD, HDTV, IPTV, VOD are wires and chips and simply a means to deliver. Crap content is unfortunately just as crap on HDTV as it would be on Low Def VHS. Content is the heart soul and mind. Those who say yes we’ll but that have a skill, those who sit with a blank sheet of paper and fill it with a great idea are few, far between and should be cherished. And I guess that was really the heart of the writers strike. Still one question, how are we going to pay for all this.

Nice
In 3C at Grove Junior Mixed infants Mrs Cripps banned the word nice from all her pupils vocabularies, I was 9 years old. I had a crush on Mrs Cripps and was very flustered the day she chose to sit at our table for lunch. We were having meat and two veg, with boiled potatoes. I speared a potato and put it in my mouth whole, I may as well have put strontium 90 in my mouth, the core temperature of that particular root vegetable was over 200 degrees and to this day I bear the internal scars . For fear of losing Mrs Cripps’ heart forever, I could not simply spit the potato out, instead I opted to cough it into my hand, disposing of the item under the table. All was well apart from the inability to talk through my injuries, but apart from rather watery eyes and red cheeks I had rescued the moment. Until, that is, Mrs Crips rose up from the table like the gorgeous Rubenesk women she was only to crash to the floor having slipped on a discarded potato.
What does all of this mean? People Have been nice to me this week. And it is Jolly nice. So I recount the above story and rejoyce in the use of the word nice. I have been rewarded with an award for my services to blogging.
I’ve been schmoozed by a schmoozer with the Power of Schmooze.
It’s the Power of Schmoozing I’m awarded for using.
Now I’m using this Power of Schmooze to amuse!
This could get confusing with all of this schmoozing.
The Power of Schmooze is not one to abuse.
Abuse and the Power of Schmooze will I lose.
Award more schmoozes the Power of Schmooze!
That’s best way of schmoozing. Now who should I choose?
I’ll give it to schmoozers who schmooze at their choosing.
It’s the Power of Schmoozing each of these schmoozers are using.
(Just think of the friends a non-schmoozer is losing)
I will on my next post add five people I think deserve the award. I wa nominated by Wonder Woman who is a great writer, you can view her fantastic blog disjointed intelligence or the original post.
This is what she said about me
Jonathan Glazier, I’m ashamed to say that I don’t know Jonathan very well. I know he’s a great schmoozer, and I love reading what he has to write. Now, with both of us having the official Power to Schmooze, I’m sure we’ll be Schmoozing pals in no time.
I have also had reviews for a couple of my other sites, people have been nice to me. Perhaps it is because I have read “The Secret”? I would have never thought a dyslexic who could barely write would have ever received any recognition of his writing ability.!

Car Theft
I have no idea why but someone stole my car last night. The reason I have no idea is summed up in this e-mail sent to my colleagues.
Clearly I was the recipient of the Luck Car Park space having had my car “keyed” then the window smashed and finally last night it was stolen.
Clearly Top Gear have got it wrong and despite the availability of new shaped Beatles, BMW’s and even a DB9 (lets face it no ones going to take a Holden) the most desirable car amongst thieves is the Subaru 1998 Forester complete with broken door seals, Christmas tree pine needles, used coffee cups and even the odd baby wipe.
If you thought New Zealand was a crime free paradise then think again.
