Bureaucratic Genes. One Size Fits All...
Scientists announced today, that they have, after many decades, finally isolated and identified the source of the Bureaucratic Gene... not only that but they have confirmed without doubt that the gene is stimulated or aroused when the carrier, of either sex is given powers of decision making or authority above their level of competence... (see also the Peter Principle).
It should be noted that this gene is present but latent in most of mankind.
The Gene is also activated as a result of, and especially the human male by the wearing of clothing known as a 'Uniform' or 'Badges' denoting authority. This particular example of the species is often to be seen with very closely cropped hair, particular styles of facial hair and the wearing of dark glasses even when in a dimly lit environment.
It is common for this sort of incompetent to be found in local government or in governmental departments... (note the word mental within the full word) especially those dealing with members of the public... often these men are very short... the reason for this is still mystifying scientists as they probe further into the mysteries of this phenomonem.
Well known Itinerant, Soothsayer and Progressive Luddite, Keith Levy, whoever he is, is on a mission to rid the world of this 'disease that is crippling mankind with their PCisms' as he puts it.
'I would like to shoot these idiots!' he says 'but no matter how many letters I write in triplicate and no matter how much I pay in fees or how many consultants are involved at enormous costs, they persistently refuse to issue me with a gun licence!'

The Flying Tortoise at Hamurana...
On the northern shore of New Zealands Lake Rotorua, there's a scattering of dwellings and one small general store...
A few hundred metres walk along the lake edge
and there, next to the golf course is The Hamurana Springs. You might expect the sign to say 'World Famous' but it doesn't. A gentle stroll through some wonderful Redwoods and a few minutes later you are at the springs source... take a bottle with you when you come here... fill it with the most delicious water you will ever taste...

And Birds of a Feather...
The shellbank between Kaiaua and Miranda is one of the most
popular 'resting places' in New Zealand
... the Godwits return from the other side of the world to the Seabird Coast on the Firth of Thames each September.
The most famous of these little birds is E7 who in 2007 made her migration from Alaska back to New Zealand, a distance of 11,500 kilometers in 8 days of non stop flying.
The Flying Tortoise likes to stop at least every 90 minutes for refreshments...
The Shellbank and 'Rays Rest' is also the resting place of the common White Plastic Wheelie Bins, who flock to this area in their droves all year long... often to try and catch the flounder who are supposed to be there... their main homing grounds are the suburbs and while they pretend a type of independence they do seem to have insecurity problems and need their mates to nestle close and attend them.
The male of the species, will, on arrival at these sacred grounds, erect his antenna, pointing it northwards towards where the Gods of Entertainment and News abide, and then he and his mate will join other 'birds of the same feather' and watch the screen and other lives till sleep claims them and they dream till the dawn...
