HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALIAS POOR YORICK

 Thank you for joining us to celebrate 14 years of Alias Poor Yorick. You are all very kind. Pictured above is our CEO and Editor Jeff Browett. We think he is, as usual, trying to prove he really can talk underwater. Later he will attempt to blow out birthday candles underwater so that might be worth tuning in for (1130 AEST).  In the meantime the junior members of staff are celebrating our BIG FOURTEEN by getting drunk like 14 yr olds. This involves drinking 6 longnecks of DB Lager in half an hour before going into the party, and almost always ends with an hour of throwing up in a flowerbed before passing out. Seasoned party goers amongst our staff ... what am I saying, seasoned party goers are our staff. Anyway they appear to be pacing themselves, drinking coffee and reminiscing in French ..ah oui. Ou sont les cocaine binges d'antan ? before joing the senior editorial staff to gaze on the paper mountains of glowing reviews, encouraging comments, and official accolades we've ...

  Yesterday, 23 June, 2025, I bought a brand new second-hand Chinese quartz watch from an op-shop for $5. Today I put a !5$ battery in it & we're good to go. Is it now already ? Yes. Yes it is. Most emphatically. Our story starts in Wellington, on Wednesday 4th June on the Interisland Ferry, but if it's anything like the rest of the narrative, it will quickly grow restless and want to go back to Fri 30th May, which is when I flew into Wellington to attend the 50th Anniversary of   TVNZ's AVALON STUDIO COMPLEX where 50 years earlier colour television was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Along with a second channel. Yes, count them folks, you now have TWO television channels to watch at any given time. Well up until midnight. Yes midnight. Late enough. Why anyone would want to watch television after midnight instead of getting a good night's sleep is perplexing, even a little worrying, but we'll say no more about it, but I think some of you people need to take...

FULLY TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLT

Thank you, welcome, and congratulations for choosing Nirvana for your complete home renovations. Relax. Nothing can possibly go wrong. And if it does, rest assured we will spare no effort to send people round to apologise profusely and explain that this really shouldn't have happened. And that it's never happened before & is extremely unlikely to happen again in the future. And to assure you, our valued customer, that we will find someone to blame by close of business. Because we care. HOW DOES IT ALL WORK ?  ... Well, it's frighteningly simple: The contract allows for one easy payment of all monies due. This is to be in the form of bank cheque, tax-franked Euros, or certified Krugerrand and is payable now.  Thanks. Now we have that ugliness out of the way we can relax. Time to let you meet the team who are going to make your house renovation dreams come true ! DAVE will come round fifteen minutes late looking a little teary & design y...
