six yesterday <,,><&>3 as <{1><[1>to whether he's saving any money david well <{2><[2>that's another question <[1>yeah <[2>laughs yeah <,,><&>3 i suppose after one one er year at polytech er he'll be thinking different though <&>22:00 won't he yep he'll be thinking like <,,> <.>i er i need to save some money laughs that's right stop again <,,> yeah <,,><&>4 at the present moment he's only concerned about saving enough about earning enough money to to drink his way through new years he tells me <{><[>laughs <[>oh really <,,><&>3 that's a waste waste of himself too oh well <,,><&>3 to be fair they're making the home brew <,,><&>6 <{><[>well one of them <[>everyone to their own eh yeah <,,><&>7 however <,> we were young once david <,,><&>4 true tut <,,><&>8 <&>23:00 well we could even er <,,> tut see i was planning to do that tomorrow or we'd just come out and do the travel store <,> by myself it'd take me a couple of hours that'd be friday cos rob's going to be working tomorrow i think now yeah although if we get on er <,,><&>3 today we might pick up er the travel store in the afternoon <,,><&>3 yeah that'll be a shock to the system eh that'll save some gas yeah <,,><&>4 that'll be wonderful <,,><&>3 where's <.>that where's that camera can't see it oh there it is <,,><&>5 well a speed camera was in kawahau point road yesterday in the morning oh yeah and koutu road in the afternoon yes <,> sniffs wonderful <,,><&>3 i think it's an ass why do you speed <&>24:00 no but i think <{1><[1>it's a the government's only got to say raise a million this week and they can just go out <{2><[2>there and flash flash flash flash flash <[1>laughs <[2>oh but because of people's very bad habits that's because people can't stick to the speed limit true you know er <.>i <,,> there are hoodlums round our place oh yeah people are going going too fast people burying the boot and making lots of noise because because they they need to get up to um er sixty seventy k in a big hurry you know whereas if they were only if they knew that they could only go up to fifty k <{1><[1>they wouldn't be so jolly keen to bury the boot so <{2><[2>much and it wouldn't be so noisy that's the other thing <,,><&>4 <[1>they wouldn't do it <[2>yeah yeah i think there's a difference between hoonsville <,> and me laughs yeah <&>25:00 if i get my photo taken i want to say i'm not a hoon but you
