Wereldberoemd!
Kia Ora!
Een kleine update vanwege twee speciale gelegenheden. Read and find out!
Het belangrijkste eerst. Ondergetekende is met de hulp van een niet nader genoemde Nederlander (ahum ...) wereldberoemd op YouTube. Een overblijfsel van onze trip naar The Bay of Islands en mijn poging tot sandsurfing onder lichte dwang. Om dit te checken, klik hier. Vergeet niet je geluid aan te zetten en te genieten van het gekweel op de achtergrond. Het zangtalent in kwestie is beter gekend als de heer Tim van Oosten :-)
Deze week ook nog een schrijfoefening teruggekregen en volgens mijn prof was het de grappigste tekst die ze ooit ingeleverd gekregen heeft. Kwestie van dit ook met de rest van de wereld te delen dacht ik dat ik dat ook maar eens online zou smijten :-) Detail: je moet weten dat Andrew Fisher de directeur van EF Auckland is. Lees en enjoy!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing with reference to the “Let’s get closer” fair organised by the local community last Friday. I wish to express my concerns about Andrew Fisher; the chef of the “Fat Duck” dining pavilion.
I was part of the staff in the dining pavilion and was really excited about providing the visitors with an exquisite service. Unfortunately it soon became obvious that all my good intentions would be futile.
Mr Fisher was shouting offensive language, which was hard to not take exception to. Personally, I was just appalled by his vulgar and sexist behaviour. He intimidated and terrorized the staff who, in the end, refused to follow-up his orders and just sat down and looked at him with as much interest as they would watch a piece of cheese grow fungus.
This emasculation of power just made Mr Fisher even madder. While he was roaring and swinging his arms around as if he wanted to throw them as far away as possible he flung objects at the unimpressed staff. One of the objects being a tea towel which landed on the stove.
The tea towel caught fire, but Mr Fisher just kept raving on. The very sight of his flaming red face and the purgatory behind him looked like a scene out of a movie, I and some other staff members decided to warn him and try to extinguish the fire. This, however, was easier said than done.
Mr Fisher was so out of control that he just started hitting me and the others who actually came to rescue him. We couldn’t get him under control, therefore one of the staff members just hit him on the head with a pan and Mr Fisher passed out on the ground. Once this problem was eliminated we could actually focus on extinguishing the real fire.
In the end it is a wonder that nothing major happened. The fire was quickly under control and nobody was killed although I feel that the latter was just a matter of time. I hope the organisers learn from this and in the future avoid working together with Andrew Fisher ever again.
Yours faithfully,
Juan Verdickt

Hallo Juan,
Lang geleden dat ik je blog nog eens kunnen lezen heb. Ben nu weer volledig van alles op de hoogte!
Zo te lezen stel je het daar nog altijd prima alhoewel het einde begint naderbij te komen.
Veel plezier op je cruise naar Fidji. En ook al veel succes toegewenst voor je komende examens.
Vele groetjes van je meter(ken)
XXX
Nooit gedacht dat ik je ooit eens letterlijk in het zand zou zien bijten... met dank aan onze noorderburen...
Grappige tekst, wat ik me wel afvraag is wat Mr. Fisher er zelf van dacht!
Veel plezier in The Empire, Parnell en de Sky Tower en het uitgaansleven. Doe ze daar de groeten van ons in de Sky Tower en zeg hen dat we nog steeds dromen van die overheerlijke krab die we daar aten...
Groetjes
Jawadde.
Is die gast op die surfplank wel echt dezelfde als diegene die ons beelden heeft getoond van een bungijump en aanverwanten? Want hier stapt-ie gewoon al van de plank voor er nog maar een béétje gevaar optreedt! Haha ik vind het echt wel supergrappig, onze grote held die van de surfplank valt op het zand :p
Baai
Haha! Dat filmpje is kennelijk een groot succes (mede door mijn zangtalent :oP) Ik had ook niet anders verwacht. Toch dapper dat je het op je blog durfde te plaatsen :o) Veel plezier in Fiji!
Grtz, je noorderbuur
