More stirring stuff from Waiouru Sledge

I hope that my last letter regarding the Fat Ladies Parade didn't stop the overweights from using the Gymnasium. I'm pleased to report that the one lady in the weights room wasn't doing aductor squeezes, but I was concerned about the crowding around the sole food outlet at the pool. I thought that the exclusion of mere males from the pool was so that the fat ladies could exercise to get into condition rather than have ro ti eating races. I don't believe that the little Japanese bloke with the whaling harpoon should make the larger ladies afraid of getting into the pool. They were well protected by the RSM in swimming beside them. Another little local news item. I saw Nissi out and about the other day sorting out the finalists for the Carriapa shield. Confidentially I hear

that WR is short listed for the best display of blackberry and MB for the most consistently uncut lawn this last year, but I'm not into telling tales. Sledge Waiouru What on earth's the matter with the ladies of Waiouru? No sense of humour by the look of it. Here we have the best thing to happen to Waiouru since postings to the South Island and what happens? Grizzles. and moans. I refer of course to Sledge. He has a rare comic ability, and his letters brighten a dull week. He obviously has a fine sense of the ridiculous - just read what he writes - and his letters stir up more comment than the latest tax rise (at least he's original!). Keep up the good work Sledge - here's

one lady who has heard the expression "tongue in cheek" and recognises it in your writings. D.A. Nolan. Good on you sledge, who needs a "Ladies only" time at the pool. As president of T.U.S.S., (Tight underwear supporters society), this ruling could very well put our society in jeopardy. I enjoy nothing better than swimming with the men and observing their tight speedo togs especially on entry into and exit from the pool. Wearing goggles gives another dimension to our members' enjoyment. So you ladies, forget the waxing of the floors, polishing of the cars, bring your kids (we don't exempt children) and join T.U.S.S.
