really well with them <{4><[4>which was good <[1>mm <[2>yeah <[3><.>cos <[4>oh that's good and i was just <{><[><.>thinking <[>cos warren's really shy i <.>was yeah he <.>c i've met him before and he

thinking i should've invited danielle round tonight cos SHE thought barry was really gorgeous <[>mm did she she didn't talk to him at all <{><[><.>but <[>would she have got on with him i think she <{1><[1>might've she probably would've been flattered by all his remarks <{2><[2>and stuff because um <[1><.>s i <.>mean <[2>yeah voc being in the choir she just saw him and she said who was the groomsman <{><[>and i said barry and she goes where's he from and i said <.>oh cos he's in auckland isn't he i said auckland <&>3:00 <[>laughs er pukekohe pukekohe i'm not sure exactly where he is yeah i <{><[>said auckland pukekohe <[>he's FROM pukekohe but i'm not <.>sure but in the airforce he's probably in auckland eh yeah and um <{1><[1>she said oh auckland another reason for moving up to hamilton <{2><[2>laughs and yeah and she was really disappointed <{3><[3><.>when <[1>he was <[2>laughs <[3>i'm sure he would be keen <{><[>laughs <[>yeah she was really disappointed <.>when <.>they when she had to leave before <.>the <{><[><.>the <.>just cos it was before you guys <.>t <.>ca oh because you didn't see her at reception did you <[>oh no cos all the choir had to leave the reception before <{><[>you guys turned up which was a pity <[>yeah oh cos i'm sure he would've enjoyed getting to know her <{><[>yes <[>seemed to enjoy <{><[>getting to know everybody <[>cos i <.>sh yes i SHOULD have <{><[>invited her <[>he said <.>he's he might get a transfer down to um tut ohakea and <.>so where's ohakea that's just um <.>about not even <.>half half an <.>hour about half an hour out of wanganui <{><[>between wanganui and palmerston north <[>oh right oh yay so you could get to SEE him <{><[><.>and <[>yes well he's got my laughs address and phone number oh really and he wants to go out to a movie and i'm going voc <{><[>okay <[>oh a date oh but um it'd be cool if nathan moved to hamilton eh <&>4:00 <{><[>yeah <[>cos he's really <{><[>cool <[>oh he's really nice <{><[>yeah word <[>yeah he is yeah he's quite cute too yeah laughs yeah well i mean well <{><[>that's the least you can word <[>he <.>has no he has he's got gorgeous eyes though they're like <{><[>bright blue eh <[>yeah blue and he's got really curly hair he used to have it really long oh right but he got it chopped off oh no i <.>thought <{1><[1>cos i <.>mean i hadn't met him but because i've heard a lot about him and he's <{2><[2>obviously really good friends with marcia and <{3><[3><.>knows he knows greg quite well too does he <[1>and it was really word <[2>yeah <[3>yeah um yes well tut anyone who knows marcia knows greg oh that's true <{><[>kind of don't <.>get <[>and anyone who knows greg knows <{><[>marcia <[>you don't get one without the other really laughs well no laughs that's <{><[>like um when we went out the night before the wedding and the guys went into a different car from the girls <[>do you yeah and we were walking along and we went to the black market cafe first yeah and marcia was walking there and i was looking round for greg where is he cos marcia was walking by herself and i went up to talk to her and i was going where's greg laughs and i go <{1><[1>oh he's not here oh i'm just not used to seeing you <{2><[2>without him and she goes laughs <[1>strange yeah <[2>yes but it's true eh yeah <{><[>it was funny <&>5:00 <[>cos she takes offence if people go on about how cuddly they are but it's true <.>it's yeah it IS <{><[>i had to live with them all year word <[>like bronwyn said any couple who can cuddle in the aisle of mitre ten laughs <{><[>laughs <[>oh man they were <{><[>terrible in the flat <[>laughs mm yes i can imagine try going away on holiday with them mm just the three of us laughs <{><[>i can imagine <[>laughs i'm not gonna do that again laughs cos i've been in the car with them and i was driving so they both get in the back <{><[>laughs that kind of thing <[>oh <.>well well <.>i i'm put in the back and they go in the front <{><[>laughs cos i couldn't drive <[>yes yeah either way yeah <.>so yeah <{1><[1>when you're in the <.>back when you're in the front driving <{2><[2>and they're in the back you look in <.>the you look in the mirror and suddenly you can't see them laughs <{3><[3>okay fine laughs so what i was going to say about nathan though cos he said he doesn't know anybody else in hamilton <[1>yeah <[2>well it's very official <[3>uh oh laughs mm that'd be quite good <{><[>eh <[>yeah well you can <.>introdu duce <.>him to all my government funded um musician friends laughs actually yeah marcia he and patrick yeah the three in the class are all very different yes but <{><[>they word <[>cos patrick's married with a baby isn't he <.>yeah <{><[>oh is he married <[>yeah <&>6:00 oh i had an idea he was but <{><[>oh he's got a baby anyway yeah <[>oh he probably IS actually i can't remember is <.>he he's niuean or is he just going to niue niuean he is niuean <{><[>actually so <.>he's cos marcia said he would <.>be cos marcia was saying oh it's cool because um cos nathan was gonna do masters <[>yeah yeah and because patrick was gonna find a job in niue she'd be the only one looking for a job <{><[>but of course now nathan's leaving it another year so he IS looking for a job <[>oh right yeah but only two in the whole of new zealand so yeah exactly er is natural resources in um auckland no oh well there you <{><[>go <[>it's only in lincoln yeah <{1><[1>i mean there's the other similar things <.>like yeah <{2><[2>agricultural <.>res but because they're the first ones to come out in natural <{3><[3>resources so it's like yeah all changed <.>and <[1>it sounds <.>like <[2>civil <[3>mm but um you wouldn't think it would be too <{><[>hard <.>to <[>what was i going to say <,> um um oh that's right <{1><[1>oh marcia's probably got a um quite definite job well not definite but she's got <.>a a leg up against everyone else applying for the job <{2><[2><.>because yeah <[1>laughs <[2>yes because she's been there and because she's more specialised than anyone <&>7:00 <{1><[1>else isn't she and <.>al yeah cos she's got one definite week is it when she goes back and then she's got <{2><[2>to actually apply for the <{3><[3>new job <{4><[4>i think she should get <{5><[5>it <.>and <[1>yeah <[2>mm <[3>mm <[4><.>so <[5>i really hope she gets it and that greg can find <{><[>something <[>yeah i mean if he doesn't there's always a job up here for him at <&>company name but <{1><[1>it <.>is no no it <.>also no dad said that he <.>could that greg could work down there <{2><[2>probably do the plans down in wellington <{3><[3>he said it probably wouldn't make a difference either way so then greg would definitely do that <{4><[4>cos rob's down there <{5><[5>he'd consult with rob anyway <{6><[6>so <[1>it's NOT <.>really <[2>oh right <[3>oh that's excellent <[4>yeah <[5>yeah <[6>oh yeah and he could always get <{><[>by word <[><.>so i mean i wasn't listening really but that's as far as i <{1><[1>heard as <.>for that would <.>be yes <.>while while he's job hunting <{2><[2>even yeah that'd be really <{3><[3>good what's that <[1>well that's excellent that he can have a job for a while <.>until <[2>yeah <[3>that's excellent coffee oh just it's a soup mug yeah <{1><[1>there weren't any cups left <{2><[2>is there one raspberry <[1>do you want a raspberry <[2>word four left
