Ah Yes New Zealand.

You may have heard of them, they're a small two island state just between Australia and that very cold place with the penguins. Although on the fringes of the Commonwealth they probably most famous for their world beating rugby team known as "The All Blacks." On reflection it was probably a bad idea for their less popular football team known as "The All Whites" to make their debut at the first World Cup to be held in post-apartheid South Africa. I think they're just happy to be there.

Also it's quite hard to discuss the company that my brother works for because their name keeps changing. Sometimes they're known as the Institute of Ideas, sometime they're known as the Battle of Ideas but currently they seem to be known as Spiked-Online http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/author/David%20Bowden/ Whatever the name they are a progressive communist organisation who act as both an MI5 and MI6 front. They did very well under Britain's Labour but now the Conservatives are in power everyone's funding is under threat. I suspect that will be a very tense office space come the morning and my father has just left to drive my brother home.

All things considered I think the evening went rather well.
