Political billboard of the year - 2003?
Shaggy Eel

Posted on 7/8/2003, 3:19:12 AM by shaggy eel

It's winter downunder. Right now in Wellington, New Zealand it's 11°C but here's a ray of sunshine as I take a drive along Aotea Quay, past what Wellingtonians affectionately call the Cake Tin - our city's stadium.

Rugby is our national winter game. As you can see, there's room for common sense thought on this billboard. If you've got a billboard that's better, let's see it.

My eternal thanx to Rintense for assistance in hosting and trimming the above image for this post.

You are welcome! It's a great billboard. I'd love to see a US version for the World Series.

11c? Ha! Try 33c on the river I was fishing in today. Despite the fact I was waist deep in the river, I was sweating my arse off! I have been reading about NZ. Your Helen Klark....yikes! She is as leftist as the Clintons. Im glad to see your rugby players know whats what. Good to see you as always!

And how! My wife to be,(oct11 2003) has been very tolerant of the days of fishing. But hey, what are summers for?

,,, I'll swim there for it. Don't wait up for me, I may be some time. (I'd have to return in time for Nov 2004's election - my vote will count).
