Bemused you might get more sympathy if you didn't make your verse so funny. Sorry but did enjoy the laugh.

The Kiwi style of humour is based more on the British style, where we laugh at ourselves. I don't take myself particularly seriously, it is a technique that served me well in my nursing, a good icebreaker.
It is also a coping mechanism, developed over the years. Bully's and Abusers find it harder to victimize a comedian and it also stops all but close friends getting to know who the real person behind the mask is.
Laughing at the ridiculousness of my childhood was something that developed soon after arriving on the field, it was the only way to cope with all the nonsense and to avoid becoming someone who was a faking it just to keep in favour with those higher up the chain.

Now on a positive note. Kiwis can rally fly. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/americas-c ... -Cup-glory

Wow, amazing sailing there!

My Dear Raz, I know this must be a difficult time for you, knowing which boat to support. On the one hand you have the little guys from a country where you have good friends and on the other side is a boat which carries the name of your homeland.

However I think I have the one fact that will sway your loyalties.

THE CAPTAIN OF ORACLE USA IS AN AUSTRALIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's just crazy!

Rich Americans can always hire others with more expertise to do their work for them, apparently!

He, he. Either American doing the hiring ain't that rich or ain't that smart, cuz they hired an Australian (complete with foul mouth).

So what happened in the racing today. Oh so glad you asked. Them Kiwis was winning by a large margin, but then the race got abandoned because there wasn't enough wind. That's the third time a race has been called off when the Kiwis are in the lead (twice because the wind was to strong)! One nation of very unhappy Kiwis down here.

Oh well, try again.

Oh no, Bemused.

I cannot believe New Zealand did not win the America's Cup.

I am so disappointed.

Oh but we did win, the U.S. boat was apparently made in New Zealand and it was Kiwis flown in that got the problems sorted out. So we all won and life goes on

Thanks for making me laugh again, Bemused!

You are good at that.
