THE CURMUDGEON: HEY HO, HEY HO, ITS OFF TO WORK I GO...

HEY HO, HEY HO, ITS OFF TO WORK I GO...

Not of the paid variety unfortunately but I am filling in time helping out with a fundraising project seeking to raise $3m. There are some very dedicated locals here doing good work and I am helping where I can. It is a wonderful insight into how New Zealand actually works. In a country of 4 million people Government cannot earn enough revenue to fund everything so additions to schools, hospitals and the like need to be funded by community based projects. It is amazing how individuals and businesses large and small give money, time, labour, product and services to help out in worthwhile causes. It makes one proud to be a kiwi.

THE CURMUDGEON said...: No. Not Rotary or Lions. I have never been a 'joiner'. I never wanted to be a boy scout. This is a group of people raising money for a hospital. No badges, funny hats or weird handshakes.; 3 March 2010 at 17:34

APPROXIMATED NEWS

ACCOLADES

"Alert, conversant, speaking full sentences"

- From hospital doctor's report.

This just to hand - an accolade from one of this blog's followers:

"Reading The Curmudgeon's blog has opened my eyes and mind to the silliness of religion and the stupidity of catholicism in particular. I now see myself as a modernist even if I don't really understand what the term means. Well done that man for giving us the low down.
That's why most readers reference Curmudgeon first."

- Robert the apoplectic sinner

And another one:

"What I like about The Curmudgeon is that he's fair. When he posts comments on my blog they are positive and always contain a hint as to how I could improve my own blog. As an older person I find this to be helpful."

Richard (of Richard's Bass Bag).

An updated accolade from Richard:

Hello all. I really like this blog. The quality, humour and professionalism gives me something to strive for in my own blog. Recently I've run out of ideas and have reverted to writing long and boring posts on violin playing. I wish that I could create blog posts as fresh and interesting as The Curmudgeon's.

"This is the first tantalizing (sic) surprise of many as The Curmudgeon introduces us to ...."
