Barry's Bits

During the constuction of this website I received an email from Kev (in which he had to re-send a photo) with the following message: "Sending front of photo this time as the back of the photo is not that interesting."

A courier delivered a parcel for me to the Travelift office at Westpark Marina. I wasn't there so Kevin signed for it. The courier asked Kevin his name. Kev replied "Henry". As the courier started writing on the receipt ticket, Kevin apparently felt guilty about giving the wrong name and added "My name's not really Henry, it's Kevin". The courier looked at him then finished what she was writing and handed him the ticket, asking him to sign it. As he went to sign the ticket Kevin noticed that the name she had written was 'Lying Henry'.

A week or so later I was there on a very hot, dry summers day when the same courier arrived with a parcel for me. I went out to her van to meet her. It was hot in the van and her hair and shoulders were soaking wet as a result of her using a bottle of drinking water to squirt water over herself in an attempt to cool down. As I greeted her she said. "Some people are F**king stupid! I just delivered a parcel to a lady up the road (on this hot and very dry day) and when she answered the door she looked at me and asked 'Is it raining?'." After a pause she continued. "Now." She said. "Where is that F**king lying Henry?"

Meet Dennis

Dennis Massey is a good friend of Kevin's. Dennis runs the Navy station on Great Barrier Island, and is our link with the Iduno via his SSB radio installation. This picture was taken the day after our flight to Whangarei to farewell Kevin and the Iduno crew.
